The sound sample was done on a fretless three string CBG with a typical "stick through the box" construction - a maple neck and a paper covered wood box. (Hoyo de Monterrey de Jose Gener.) This was through a Fender Deluxe tube amp and no effects other than a little amp reverb.

Comments/Testimonials:

"Skeesix PUP Rocks! WOW! what a powerful pickup, I finally got the thing installed in a Comacho box that I "solidified" with scrap oak peices inside. I played it out last night at a local open mike and it was a SCREAM! All I used was a 19 watt Epiphone practice amp but it was plenty loud enough.I played from clean to crunchy, speed metal on a cigar box? Who'd a thunk it possible. Anyway, thanks again Skeesix, and you will be hearing from me again soon when I order more of those puppies" Joe Cerroni


"I received my Skeesix 3 banger pickup today, and I'm really impressed with the quality workmanship…When I got the neck mounted I put on a string with the rough, high nut and bridge just to hear this thing, no pots, just a jack, and even with the string about 3/4 in. abovethe PU, it screamed!! (When I picked the string) Muted the string....total silence! OH YEAH!!!!" Johnny Cox
