keeponehandloose Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If you are including piezo transducers I have a couple of double bass pickups to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Fantastic, you lot are just brilliant! We want as diverse a range of pickups as possible to make sure the circuitry is compatible with everything, so we'd like everything you have however generic, weird, cheap, expensive, common, rare, etc. Please send all pickups and preamps to: Barefaced Ltd Unit C Level 1 North New England House Brighton BN1 4GH Include any info about what they are, your return address and your T-shirt size (they're a pretty neat fit once they've been washed a few times, so if you're between sizes tell us the larger size). Many many thanks! Very excited about how awesome the end result of this project will be. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Sent. The local post office asked me what was in the package 'for security reasons' and had a bit of a panic when I told them it was a couple of strongish magnets, but in the end they slapped a 'danger! magnets!' sticker or somesuch on the parcel and off it went.

Cato Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I had no idea there were restrictions on sending magnetic materials. I looked it up when I got home and the rule is 'Magnetised material: Magnetised material with a magnetic field strength of 0.418A/m or more at a distance of 4.6m from the outside of the package is prohibited' I' m guessing the pickups are no where near strong enough to be banned, but I don't where to start with measuring magnetism or what equipment you'd need to do it.
