    Well, I switched 'em and it's sounding pretty good. This is my first build and I used a cigar box and tuning keys that my little brother had in his room when he passed last summer. Most other parts were bought from C.B. Gitty. Still love my Swamp Witch but she's gonna be watchin' from the corner for a few days. :)

    Thanks again for the wiring help, guys.

    Thanks, guys. AP - the Swamp Witch is still kickin' like a champ! Still my favorite instrument in the house. I'm just finishing up on my first CBG build (4 string, fretted) and trying to wire a piezo/bridge pup to a volume knob and then to this type of input jack. I got it working last night but buzzes horribly...I'm heating up the gun to reverse the wires right now. :)

     

    Thanks again.

    hey  blacktooth  ;-)

      long time no see  ;-)  hope  the witch is treatin  ya  well  ;-)

    can't  really   see   the contacts  in that   picture  ,,   but  ..    you  can   always  test  it  by  just  hooking  it  to  a  pickup  ..  if  it  buzzes a  bit  one way  ..  reverse    it .

    Sure someone will offer the answer, but wanted to simply include that one of the most important tools a builder should have is a multi-tester. That way one can figure out any number of questions or problems that arise when dealing with pickups & wiring. Cheers
