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.

Not gonna happen. It's like sticking an ipod to a sewing machine.

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. |

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!!!
