New pickup for SX lap
I just put in a Musicians Gear Scorcher Pickup $30 in my SX lap steel.
(http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... sku=300136)
The pick up is quiet! I like the tone.
Check out the reviews at the above address.
From the product information:
This entry-level rail pickup has a powerful ceramic magnet and intense coil windings to drive amps harder than a stock pickup. The 2 coils cancel any annoying 60-cycle hum.
I had to do minor sanding with a file to get the pickup to fit as the cut out was a little off. It took almost 2 minutes to file counting a minute to find my file.
I want to improve the bridge. What type/model bridge would you put in this lap? I am new at this and any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
