Graphtech piezo bridge saddles on a Jazz Bass

1bassleft

OK y'all.

At some expense, I've fitted the kit to give an "electro-acoustic" option to my fretless Jazz Bass. Playing through a WEM Dominator Bass MkI, the valves warm things up a bit too much and the acoustic side might be better off through solid-state (never thought I'd say that). Still, it's quite impressive in the flesh and better sounding than my "real" (but cheap) EAB plugged in.

Here's a quick noodle using the piezos:

and, for comparison, the similar run using the Jazz Vintage 60s bridge pickup:

Mags and piezo can be blended together for some interesting options (and split out to different amps using a stereo Y-cable). Here's something I wasn't expecting. You know LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk is Playing at My House"?

Well, it's a lot more convincing if I play through the piezo:

rather than using conventional magnetic pups:

Hi there... any chance you could repost these clips? I'd like to hear the result... cheers!

Apologies for the delay. I've restored my file-share account (they deleted my clips) but, at the mo, I can't remember where I put my digicamera that has the SD card containing my clips. As soon as I dig it out, I'll get those files back up and update the links.

Apols again for my idiocy.
