Home made cap piezo diddley bow pickup

[@kushkarma7081]

This is awesome! People pointing out intonation? Its a bloody pasta sauce lid Awesome to watch and hear

[@swaggercat]

The intonation is so far off it sounds like a cat crying.

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

that's TRAGIC

[@ezrimata4540]

Almost threw up listening to the background music... literally. I watched the vid with no sound. It was just the hardcore constant vibrato and lack of tone

[@kamilbornova5384]

i think song sounded very good.

[@tepacookmuzic4372]

Quiet an unique sound. Thumbs up bro!!

[@Ucceah]

sand the paint of a lid, and you can quickly rust it with salt/vinegar/citric acid. a litte touch up with steel wool, and it looks at least 100 years old.

[@hellbilly1373]

Cuda FX Or you can throw it in a fire, burn everything down to the bare metal, which will be greyed and tarnished. Hit it with some steel wool and it will have a very antique look to it.

Thanks for the video! Rookie q, but how do you then connect the input jack to the pickup? Thanks from Tim in Ireland.

[@Goldsmithexile1960]

+Timothy Daly Hi Tim Thanks for your question, and also apologies for the long delay in replying to you. I have been without internet access since the England Wales game, as I have moved to a new house in recent weeks. I soldered the 2 wires directly to an input jack. It looks like the jack socket was silver plated, it was very easy to solder to Good luck with your build if you do one, its very rewarding

[@darthflow9799]

Oh my this is terrible. All of it. I love it.

[@stevepethel6843]

That pickup sounds pretty great to my ears. Does the magnet change tone?

[@ArturBernardoMallmann]

The scale of the necks marks is completely out. The timber of the pickup is a lot impressing.

How do you build a professional contact microphone (for considerable depth)? Instead of using a very ordinary piezo, it is better to use a condenser microphone capsule and so on. Don't you think so? Interesting this music project for Texan music (somewhat reminiscent of bajno sound). Let me know!!! Thank you very much.

[@gorjnjch]

Hello! Which string is commonly used 3rd or 6th? And what note on the open string? Thank you!

[@Ucceah]

this is a G string tuned to a *drumroll* G! =) you can use just about any string you like. piano and tig wire are know to work well too. (great sustain, metallic sound, dont bend your neck!)

[@gorjnjch]

Thanks for the answer! Great sound!

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

I dont really tune to 440 or a piano or anything, I just think oh that note sounds nice. On a 2 string I sometimes tune them an octave apart. Or tune the strings so that the high string sounds the same as the lower one fretted at the 5th fret (I think) nice powerful power chord type thing

[@jasonmartinez7667]

It sounds like G.

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

I just wind it up and down until I like the vibe man Thanks for your comment!

[@StillLivinTheBlues]

Good job!!!

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

Thanks for watching! i dont use these sort of pick ups now. I prefer either recycled humbuckers or ones made of recycled 12V or 6 V wall wart power transformers. And since this video was produced I now have an ashdown bass como to send them through. Cheers and God Bless, Jonathan

[@evanwilliams8908]

I had to turn the sound off. Damn man that's awful sounding.

[@jari8698]

whats the cable used?

[@zynaxil]

you can use every cable i think i took a old inear headphone and cut the cable

[@thomasflechtner8316]

I like that aspect, but yes, not to everyones taste I guess. Thanks for your comment

[@rikki139]

this is odious

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

LOL Thanks for your comment

[@gregmartin1757]

Seriously this might be the worst thing i have ever heard.i am pretty old been alot places seen a lot of terrible horrific things. This is so bad on so many levels . Sounds like a thousand rabid felines having their balls squeezed in a vice.

[@MrPoppymusik]

Sorry bud but it sounds awful 🙈

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

sorry kid!

[@ItsJustAdrean]

At least it works

[@Isabella-jx5kw]

You aren’t supposed to push the string down with the slide

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

I do, in fact I smash it down sometimes (smash ons instead of hammer ons) Who says I cant?

[@Isabella-jx5kw]

@@GOLDSMITHEXILE people who have bad slide technique push down , so carry on if you like that lol

[@Isabella-jx5kw]

@@GOLDSMITHEXILE nobody said you couldn’t it just sounds like shit

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

@@Isabella-jx5kw "bad slide technique" LOL are you serious? Get a sense of perspective lady, this was a video I made several years ago about how I made an experimental cap pickup. DUH it was never meant as a how=to video of guitar technique.....clue is in the title......But in any case, not that I need your permission, but I will "carry on" regardless of your petty arbitrary "rules". Come on then lady, lets hear your amazing orthodox slide sound wheres your video? Put your money where your mouth is

[@Isabella-jx5kw]

@@GOLDSMITHEXILE still doesn’t change the fact you aren’t doing it right, I don’t care wether it’s in the title or not , and just saying a load of phrases like “put your money where you mouth is” doesn’t even make sense The this conversation

[@JGuier]

This is probably one of the ugliest sounding instruments i've ever heard

[@kellenhess7246]

awful in the best of ways

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

such a nice comment! Have a nice day!
