Hot Rod Diddly & cheap blues hat.

The top of the lid has been flipped. I like the looks of this box and it plays well. I need to lower the bass mag pickup just a little because the string hits it if my slide hand is too heavy at the 12th fret.The diddly has a 4 pole pickup with all poles under the stringI bought the hat at the Good Will Store in Council Bluffs, Iowa. $3.99 and no tax.

    Thanks, Duck.  I've never taken a diddley to open mics.  Might practice up and take this one some time.  Planning on taking a concert uke this week.

    Thanks Muddy and Richey.  Yup, I like the box too.  Would have made a good 3 or 4 string.  I had never done the mag pup thing with a diddley and want to do so.
