I'm a bit of a newbie, after reading up on a few things I used felt pads to keep my transducer from going nuts... big strings stay!
Thanks all for the support! This is such a great community! @ ED I'm using a piezo transducer so I got what I paid for :) I'm working on a third CBG and I'm going to scrap the good pieces from a bad diddley bow and use a real pickup (and replace the pickup with a piezo on the reconfigured bow)... I'll definitely keep an eye out for bushings too.
Crazy cool build man!!
RE: your comment about changing the strings - If'n it was mine (and it isn't) I wouldn't change the strings out. I can't see for sure, but I don't see a mag pickup. I'd get a flat mag pickup for both sides instead of a piezo and that will cut down some on the sliding noise. You might also try a different slide. I use the steel bushings from the hardware cabinets at Lowes where they have all the funky screws, split pins, etc. They don't make as much noise sliding on the strings.
that's brilliant!!!
This one's for you:
