Electro-Diddley with a "Gitty 441 Pickup"

Here's a great letter we just received from Roger Ring.  He took our 4-Pole Pre-wired Pickup and used it in his latest diddley bow one-string instrument!


Dear Gitty,

Somebody probably has done this before, but I hadn't seen it. I call it the Gitty 441 Diddley Bow Pickup. (441= 4 poles for one string ). Sounds great !!! 

Used your bass tuner also which worked out great.

I made this for a firefighter so I used aluminum plate on it. Found a fast flashing red/white LED and mounted it up by the nut, so that is why you see the toggle switch by the tuner so when the playing gets hot he can flick the flashers on.

Not a very good photo, but you can sort of get the idea of it.
