Any one have any experience using a pick up of any type with a tri cone resonator?

I don't have one on mine yet, but when i do I'm going to get this. He's playing armpit style but you get the drift.

Those Myers pickups sound great.
I am using a low profile magnetic pickup on my tricone from MGB. Encased with epoxy into a timber cover and just surface mounted between neck and coverplate
Cheap, powerful, humbucking and no feedback problems

National Slimline and similar Lace pickup mounted at end of fingerboard sound good, behave a little bit like a pickup in a jazz guitar to my ears. Only limitation is if you play higher on the pickup, in the neighborhood of 24th fret and above, there is no amplified sound. I added a Schatten pickup that mounts on bridge to catch those sounds. It also sounds good, in a more pristine and acoustic way. However, the two pickups do not work well together as a blended signal via three-way switch or blend knob on the guitar. Magnetic vs piezo. Instead, each signal must be run to separate mixer input or amp channel.

I found a used Myers for a reasonable price and am going to give it a try. Thanks for the help.

Yeah Steve, the Krivo sounds really nice. If that Myers doesn't work out...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get the putty for temporary attachment of the pickup to the dobro body. I was looking at the Krivo stuff but need more to attach my Lace Sensor
