  • ya  need a   tennis ball amp  now  ;-)

  • really cool !

  • Hmmm, the description got cut off.  The pickup details are....two pickups in an Altoids tin. One is a hand wound single coil using copper wire from a wall wart and the other is a piezo made from an old headset earpiece.  Wired in parallel  and mounted to the back of the bridge.  I added the magnet to the outside of the bridge to try and increase the power of the single coil.  The soundtrack is the racquet being played through a Ditto looper.
