If you want a more elegant way to attach the wire than drilling for an endpin jack or the carpenter jack, look into the Tapastring Vintage Jack.
http://www.tapastring.com/ I wasn't fond of the acoustic sound of the Fishman bridge top, but it will slide over your existing bridge base, run the wire through the f hole and in to the tapastring. You want to borrow my Fishman Aura to make it sound better? A Shertler or the AKG C411 would sound more natural in that they're contact microphones, not piezos. The wires coming off them are a little less elegant unless you get someone to install the Shertler inside and run it to a Tapastring. It would give your soundman a mic level signal without going through a DI. The AKG will need phantom power and can't be permanently installed--you'll have to put it on and take it off after each use. It sounds about the same as the Shertler. What's Stu-Bob use on his fiddle for plugging in?
