I wonder if they ever become an option on the 'horizontal' instruments ... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 1941 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2005 - 8:12 am:    Adriaan; last August Mica stated in another thread that "Piezos are not available as an option ... the resources needed to have us do it would be hard to justify". And prior to that she stated "we've done experiments with piezo pickups before and weren't happy with the sound for basses". adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 567 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2005 - 8:38 am:    That was what I remembered - just that the Ebay auction suggests that the piezos were installed at the factory. And perhaps the sound is acceptable for a wooden bridge like the Classico has, just not for brass. So what if you have a brass bridge with wooden saddles? Ah, questions, questions ...
