Dobro Pick up

Post by Tom Taylor »

I'm in need of a pickup I can use for my dorbo that can be tempoarily attached. I don't want to do any internal installation on it.

Any suggestions?

Try the LACE dobro pickup. Seems to be growing in reputation. Ebay: 87 bucks cheap. Stick-on.

I have a magnetic Barcus Berry Pickup that does a pretty good job. They made a single coil and a humbucking, unfortunately I have the single coil and it gets a little noisy in certain clubs. I don't think they make them anymore. I am curious about the Lace Dobro pickup. Does anyone know if it is a humbucking pickup or a single coil?

I too have a Barcus Berry and like it.
In fact i like it better than my expensive internal cone screw-mounted well-known brand passive PU.
I tested both the single coil and the humbucker and i chose the SC because of its more natural sound.
Don't know if they are still available.
