humbucker for diddley bow

Posted by Dano Schultz on May 22, 2017 at 11:02pm

This box is part of a diddley bow design I am working on. I added one of my hand-wound humbucker pickups (http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/fresh-baked-humbucker-bobbins)to a small wood box from a local craft store. A Gibson 3-way pickup selector switch will allow me to change up this humbucker pickup and a piezo with a pre-amp (not pictured) that will both be on the diddley bow.I'm testing a prototype of the final bow now. It is based on the table/laptop bow with a 1 gallon paint can as a resonator as played by Eddie "One String" Jones in the early 60's. This style is also played today by One String Willie.* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_"One_String"_Jones* http://www.onestringwillie.com/

Thanks guys! I haven't done any soldering in like 40 years - was fun to get back into it a bit.
