are you uusing a wah wah pedal?

[kabrijj]

@PEPS165 No, I've got a Whammy pedal here, which is doing the pitch bends.

[smokinghull]

amazing sound, those things are incredible! what gauge string are you using?

[kabrijj]

@smokinghull Honestly... I don't remember! I seem to think it was a guitar string (not a bass string), but still very thick... maybe somewhere around .060?

i made a diddley bow a couple weeks ago. how would i be able to ground the pickup?

[kabrijj]

@gunsandammo92 I'll tell you right off that I didn't ground the strings (I assume that's what you mean?) on mine. You could, potentially, run a ground wire from the output jack to the nail/screw the string is attached to... if you wanted to.
