My name is Andy Cheng and like many of you, I was frustrated by the high prices of string instrument pickups. I did some research and began building my own pickups--first for myself, and then for my friends. Since then, I made a few improvements to my basic design and now I offer these pickups to you. These pickups feature large 35mm piezo element that senses a larger surface than most piezo pickups. The result: more of your instrument's natural sound is picked up, resulting in a fuller more natural sound to your amplifier. Also, the output is strong, so that a preamp is not necessary to boost the signal before going to an amp. Finally, I build these pickups tough. The solder joints are reinforced with plastic shrink wrap, the piezo element is coated with plastic and backed with ripstop nylon, and all my pickups feature 18ga wiring. Give one of my pickups a try--you'll be impressed by both the reasonable price, and the great sound.

"My name is Pierre Archain, I am a bass player in San Francisco who just got your ace pickup, I tried it on my Eminence electric upright and I am impressed, I have a Gage pickup on this bass which has been giving some problems and had installed an old Fishman as a backup but your pickup has hotter output, is more responsive to placement. Anyway, good job and I like the price. " Pierre Archain--ACE pickup user.
