I saw this DIY Grand Stick pickup on Reverb this morning.
I didn't know that people were making their own pickups?

I've seen a few other home brew modules. Some better than others. I've considered trying my hand at something like that but I'm pretty satisfied with my Stickup and my PASV-4. Nowadays I'm using my energy to play. |

For sure, yes people have developed their own pickups. This is from a chat with Jaap who pioneered an ACTV-3, which sounds very nice. You’ll recognises the EMG quality immediately! viewtopic.php?p=130485#p130485 Here’s a couple of demos: https://youtu.be/QgRFYw5A6fs?si=oEngtY0GDuhbsETe https://youtu.be/uQJMeW8XqD0?si=zYkerE_glZoJ3Ki8 I had plans a while back to fabricate an ACTV-4. The EMGs can be driven with 18v for extra headroom, which you hear on some bass and guitar forums occasionally. On the active side it would be possible to make a phase inversion circuit to get that hollowed-out sound from the EMGs. One day… I’m interested in a pickup like this going into a stereo parametric EQ with memory presets. Not sure what that pedal is, but it must exist. |

These do look enticing... It has been great to see Jaap doing his thing with these pickups. @Scronk, check out the - Source Audio EQ2 - it's essentially a 2 channel EQ workstation. |

Trey Gunn had something pretty crazy mounted on his Grand Stick when KC played in Argentina, it literally looked like a P bass set up mounted on a metal plate with some cables coming off it. |
