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: http://www.4shared.com/account/file/35632367/7cc5770b/PICT0002.html?sId=Xey3UoDP2bu7cvOR and, for comparison, the similar run using the Jazz Vintage 60s bridge pickup: http://www.4shared.com/account/file/35632353/5085e0d1/PICT0001.html?sId=MgkpClcjEDVgm8xP 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"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbaOFkC8tQE Well, it's a lot more convincing if I play through the piezo: http://www.4shared.com/account/file/35632377/65de464a/PICT0005.html?sId=MgkpClcjEDVgm8xP rather than using conventional magnetic pups: http://www.4shared.com/account/file/35632346/39f4251f/PICT0006.html?sId=MgkpClcjEDVgm8xP
