BTW, any piezo pickup, either bridge plate or under-saddle, will require some degree of enhancement to get the sound you like. For me the ToneDexter was the right solution. Your mileage may vary.
There is a very nice UltraTonic upgrade kit for your K&K - ask James about your JJB, maybe it’ll work with that too?

The Tonedexter is a fantastic solution, but just having a clean, balanced, feed-back free signal, which you get with the UltraTonic, is the really essential starting place.
