I'm installing a Baggs I-Mix system today and was curious if people have a favorite battery bag placement. I've typically put these on the neck block but thought maybe my friends here had some brilliant words of wisdom on the subject. Thanks |

I think the neck block is the only place for the battery. The mass of the neck block provides a solid, buzz-free mounting, and the battery is easily accessible from the soundhole when it comes time for a swap out. |

Yep I put them on the base side so they are not suspended when playing. Lately I have been exclusively using K & K pure westerns..an awesome passive...no battery |

Here's the approach we took at D-TAR: http://www.d-tar.com/load_n_lock.shtml Pic didn't want to load... That's on our Wavelength Load'n'Lock system developed with the help of Guild. |

Thanks guys. I installed it in my typical place, neck block on the bass side, just like Andy. Rick, that's a pretty interesting looking system you've got there. |

Jim, one of the features is that we use a DC to DC converter to kick the 3 Volts from the two AA cells up to 18 volts to give the system much more headroom. While I understand the liking of passive soundboard transducers, they can be a feedback nightmare, and UST systems are much more feedback resistant. We've gotten very good reviews of our Wavelength pickups with or without the Load'n'Lock battery access. |
