I have a bass and a mando nearing completion.

can I fit a standard acoustic guitar piezo under a bone saddle o these, or do I have to get the specific bass & mando piezos?

anyone done it?

thanks!!

It will depend on two things Martin - how long is the saddle slot, and which type of piezo you use. Most of the hard crystal styles (Fishman matrix, KK piezo)likely wont fit a mando (maybe the bass??), as the slot needs to be at least 2 inches long - thats about the avg length of that type. If you go the cable type route though, you can make it work on about anything - these would be like a Baggs Element or DTAR Timberline type.
