Before "modern" computers as the Atari ST were able to sync to tape by
SMPTE, computers as the Commodore 64 synced by some kind of click,
without a time code. IOW you couldn't cue at a wanted position, you
always needed to start from the beginning. This sync was not less good
than sync between MIDI and audio is nowadays, in my experiences it was
much more accurate, than the supposedly "frame accuracy" between MIDI
and audio of Linux DAWs is nowadays.
YMMV!

Ralf

I'm not interested to build such a Commodore 64 bass, but wonder if I
could build a guitar pickup to individual record the 6 strings one by
one. Each time I had the money to buy a MIDI pickup, I bought other
music gear and I guess this won't change in the future, so the testing
piezos is worth a try.

You can buy those piezzo and remove the platic around it, just be
careful not to bend the piezzo too much.
If you but those piezzo like she did, you'll have a lot of crosstalk
to deal with, piezzos are very sensitive to vibrations...one string
will inevitably be catched by all piezzos, so the electronic design
need some experiment.
happy diy !

You can get open piezos here:

If you cut them like in the video, be sure to have a bunch of them...
