All, was admiring Shane's new "Deadly Bow" post last week and thinking I need to build one, and got to wondering about the orientation of the mag pickup. If I use a 6 string mag pickup as Shane does, but orient it with all of the magnets in line with the string rather than perpendicular, what happens? I don't have one on hand now or I'd just go experiment (haven't graduated beyond piezos yet). Just curious if volume is higher or tone suffers or ???

Mount it on a pivoting base so you can work it both ways and find out. Might work better than a tone control.
I'm curious about the answer also. Good question!
