Gameboy Soundcard Neck Pickup???

could i put a gameboy soundcard in my neck pickup?
my crappy guitar came with two of the same humbucker , one in bridge, one in neck position.
i use the bridge one more because pinch harmonics are better the closer they are to the bridge.
i want to give my neck humbucker a unique tone, and thought a gameboy soundcard might be a cool way of accomplishing it.

How do you intend to do this?

Just mash the pick-up and the soundcard together?
Or possibly prit stick them together?

I hate to be this condescending, but you haven't thought it through at all.

Gameboy soundcard = circuitry.

Guitar pickup = Electromagnet.

The two aren't interchangeable. This won't work.

I'm still going with Prit Stick.

Also, can any of you guys help me out?
I'm bored of my bass neck, so I was wondering if I could somehow take it off and replace it with half a cat.
To get that unique tone, y'know.

Many thanks.

worst idea ever

even if it were possible for a gameboy soundcard to transfer the vibrations of the strings into current. it's nowhere near strong enough i would imagine.

prit stick?

im not planning on replacing the humbucker, just somehow attatching a gameboy soundcard to its output.

This is certainly the most bizarre thing I've heard in a good while.

I understand your desire to sound different but this just ain't gonna happen.

If you want game boy type sounds from your guitar, you're going to need a guitar synthesizer.

Fixed.

Yo dawg, we heard you like to play gameboy and guitar, so we put a gameboy in your guitar so you can play while you play.

You can't do that, or else your just going to get a thread full of similes like that one in the GG&A forums about a gameboy soundcard in your neck pickup!!!
