TheGreek Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Found these on the Bay - thought that this might be a proper clever little gadget - almost a "free" pick up. Is it as clever as I thought? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-4-to-2-5mm-GUITAR-STRAP-PIN-ADAPTER-JACK-SOCKET-FOR-UNDER-SADDLE-PICKUP/352331274906?hash=item5208949a9a:g:CdgAAOSwJ71aWgqz Edited May 15, 2018 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looks like the kind of thing that's been used in acoustic guitars since the 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looks like it’s just a 1/4” jack socket in the end pin/strap button going to a 2.5mm jack socket internally, and you’d plug your piezo into the 2.5mm socket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding 'this' alone would give you an extra filled hole on your bass, that's all. It would need a piezo element to be fitted under the saddles or bridge to be of any use.
