Right. I get it now. Presumably I can get an Aran-knit or tie-dyed pair to wear over my socks at folky events? But please don't confuse me any further by telling me how to wire them up to my pickup!

Well, you had trouble with your memory, Alex, but I had trouble with my eyes (or my brain?). I had been wondering what on earth a "sock jacket" was...

Good idea, and good to see you in the Wheatsheaf - good session. We had a great gig at the Railway on Sunday night, too. If you're ever in the Burnley area look us up - www.burnleyfolkclub.co.uk. Cheers, alex s.

Hiya!

I used to use a cross- hole external pickup, easily attach/detachable, you can get 'em almost any music shop, got mine from Cleckie's Music Room

Straplok by (I think) Jim Dunlop does versions of this. Effectively replaces the end button on guitar/mandolin etc. Needs internal wiring to connect to your pickup. there are other non-locking versions, but I can't remember the names. Hobgoblin or Music Room may have some, but any reasonable guitar/music shop should be able to source one for you.

does anyone know where I can get an external jack socket which attaches to the bottom end strap button,preferably from a supplier in the UK? - I've seen one, but can't remember where.
