Right, I'm planning for my build. I've already had some wick advice from Robbie (RIM) with regards to my thru-neck design and finishing and now I need some advice on something else!
Basically, I'm really liking the look of Piezo pickups. I want to create a bass without an actual visible pickup on the front of the body and I've seen Piezo pickup'd basses achieve that look. But I have absolutely zero experiences with them. i've never played a Piezo bass and so I have no idea how the electronics part of it works. I'm also planning on having only 2 knobs, a volume and a tone as I won't be having more than one pickup to switch between
Is it as simple as buying a 6-String Piezo Bridge, soldering it to a pre-amp, and then soldering it to a tone and a volume knob?
Any help appreciated!
