Re: Electronics
OK , I'll Bite ... divided pickups , under bridge piezos , such as RMC sells, work nicely.
small gage, high pitched E strings don't have much mass or move far in the magnetic field over a coil of wire pickup, but will give a decent signal when the vibration is directly exiting those little piezoelectric crystals.
a decent amount of down force on them help,string thru the body , or a string guide past the bridge, pulling down , can help .
Fan fret would be a good way to go on a 5 string. he says, having one that isn't .
I particularly like the Synth access that I can use with the RMC stuff, they make a few different ways to get to the 13 pin output that Roland's various pitch to MIDI GR & GI modules use.
IMHO, works better than Roland's own GK pickup , and a cleaner installation , as you only use.
and buy, the one pickup per string.
