I've heard it takes two 9V batteries and a outside inline amp, and how do they preform?...and who sells them anyways??
Hey Stan, I have one in my CR. according to my professional musician friends it is awesome. They throw around phrases like "tons of headroom" "true sound" "no quacking" and other terms I'm clueless about.
The battery pack holds two 9V batteries and it supplies power to the pick up with a stereo cable. One part of the stereo cable supplies power and the other part carries the signal out. There is a mono cord from the battery pack to the amp.
Aloha Gary,
there is the outside amp battery pack box, and it has four screws....do you unscrew the back to get to the batteries....hmm thank you

Yup.
Sounds like someone got a CR with a pickup.
Don't plug it in wrong!

Unless you let me borrow 2200....it won't happen.... I spent all my Uke Money
I thought he modified it so that it only takes a couple of AAs? I would love to learn more about it...Hey Stan, I have one in my CR. according to my professional musician friends it is awesome.

You should PM Rick.

John Mayer is playing the Rick Turner model I want. Same like Lindsey Buckingham. I love this tone for electric, Rick nailed it.
I think Rick's D-TAR pickup sounds really good with my Roland AC-33. Much truer sound than with the MiSi that I have in my Kamaka.
I didn't like all those cables lying around so I devised a neater set-up. A short 6" patch cable, a Velcro stick-on and voila!

Maybe John Mayer is carrying extra batteries in his cargo pants pockets in case his roadie forgot to unplug the cables leading into the battery box.
Seriously, I'm proud to own one of Rick's instruments. Next uke on my wish list: a CR nano-jumbo concert--Adi spruce top with Brazilian rosewood or cocobolo.
