BJ-02 Design Notes

       On a 'normal' banjo with a three footed bridge, the pickup is to be installed on the underside of the head directly under the centre foot of the bridge. On tenor banjos or banjos having a two footed bridge, the suggested placement for the pickup is on the underside of the head directly under the bass side bridge foot.

    The BJ-02 Std. comes with our NBJA rosewood bodied jack assembly with a 1/4" output jack. The new BJ-02 Pro features a small black ABS jack assembly with a 1/4" output jack and an integrated volume control. These jack assemblies nestle in tight against the tensioning hooks and simply clamp to those tensioning hooks in the same way that a normal arm rest attaches.

 

     This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).

     If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.
