<p>I did that. I added several ceramic disc types, then I added a couple ceramic bar types that I had from pickup mods I did and then added the disc mags on top of those.</p>
<p>The bigger wire coils just don't have the same effect as the smaller wire coils.</p>
<p>The strings on this git pass through the center of the coils like some of the old lap steel gits. So I'm thinking of getting a set of the PBass pickups like Gitty sells and mount one under/one above.</p>

Sometimes you can add a disc magnet to the pickup... It will alter the tone, but can have a dramatic effect on signal strength.

<p>The pickup isn't strong enough for it and I'll probably change it out some time down the road.</p>

<p>I made one awhile back for the Plumbers Challenge build. 27" scale 3 string Baritone. I used a heavy E string through the back inside as a trussrod and I made the pickup out of the motor coils of a old hand drill. The pickup works, but it doesn't work great.<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3661289937?profile=original" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3661289937?profile=RESIZE_710x"></img></a> I thought it work like a tubulum or didgeridoo, but not so in mine.

<p>I think the wood block remedies that? I flattened my headstock, but didn’t think to angle it, great idea? What are you gonna do for a body? There’s a PVC Bass build video in the Resources tab, he had the same results I did with the wavering sound? Seeing yours makes me want to revisit this, thanx for sharing John, any chance of a sample?</p>
