  • cool, I really like using springs. I enjoy the sound I have gotten thus far. In my latest build, I am doing a 3 string 27in scale baritone, with delta pickup and 2 springs for extra sound when playing acoustic. The box is an Undercrown box, thickest box I have ever used thus far.

    I will keep my eyes out for your progress and look forward to seeing and hearing how this one turns out for you.
  • Once put a spring in a license plate one string guitar with a metal tube mop handle (plugged ends with wood dowel) neck and it gave it a nice growl when the string is attacked fairly hard. You might find a usable spring on you're neighbor's screen door Uncle John. Don't mention my name if you get caught.   ; )

  • Thank you, sir.  I may go spring shopping tomorrow.  (Not the usual kind of spring shopping).

  • They add a bit of sustain and a reverb effect with piezos Uncle John. This will be the first time I've tried the spring with a mag pup. 

  • Vern, I have 3 builds in progress.  Now would be the time to add a spring. What are they reputed to do?  Add sustain?

  • Wanted to see what a spring will do with a magnetic pickup. Never tried it with one before. We'll see. I have to build my CBGs strong. My roadie (me) can be pretty clumsy at times. 

  • I have never done that.  It's kind of neat.  And it is good you made the box strong.
