To put it simply - I was delighted with the results. Want to do something similar? - then look here: Īfter that, I decided to put my money where my mouth was, and after looking at the options available, I went with the Graphtech FAAS system (as it was then known - this included their bridge saddles and preamp). As it turned out, I did, even without buffering the signal properly. My first experiment was building my own pickup out of a piezo buzzer from a musical birthday card that I received - just to get a feel for whether I would like the tone. I also have some expereience with piezo's. its an option that you might really appreciate down the road.
#PIEZO PICKUPS INSTALL#
I'm pretty sure though that the unit on franks bass does not require that you install the multi pin out jack.Īnyways, all of my experience is with custom jobs and have never played any factory installed production basses with piezo's. I'm not into the whole multi-pin out thing, because I'll never be able to afford a midi processing unit of high enough quality to make me happy. most of my experience is with the bartolini MPB1 (which probably stands for something like "magnetic piezo buffer 1" but could also stand for "musically pure butter". the resulting outputs can then be blended or switched at your discretion and will match up well. there are several different modules available where you run the magnetics in one side and the piezo's into the other side. You should definately inquire as to how they will be buffered. On my next bass, I'll have piezo's installed, and if my past experiences hold true, I'll probably use them half the time by themselves, and the other half of the time I'll use them blended with the magnetic pickups. Just to chime in, I have heard a few different types of piezo's, and in my opinion, the only brand that I'd go with if you wanted the option to use them by themselves is RMC.
