Flat bucker under box top. Any Success?

by Tom T

Mar 27, 2023

I searched "Ghost Pickup" and found a few entries from people who tried the Wicked Bucker under the box top. Apparently it was not particularly successful.


I'm just checking in to see if anyone has successfully installed a wicked bucker under the box lit with strings about 1/4" above the lid.

It seems that the Gitty Bomb pickup is no longer available and the wicked bucker is about 3.8 Ohms.

I want to keep the box top clean so a surface mount pickup tends to spoil it.

Thanks

     Late to the party, I'd get a Gitty bomb, if they were available, but how many ohms would it take to achieve these results? I won't do business with MGB.

      Rule of thumb, 1/4 or less (  Strings to pick up )for pick up for best sound. MGB  is top notch and free shipping, There flat pick up's work great under lid... (thin lid box's )

         I still won't do business with MGB. They screwed me and were patronizing about it.
