I have an old Celebrity CC68 that I use in my cover band. The pickup is the Piezo type and is very weak (possibly damaged or broken). I put the volume to 10 and I still struggle to be heard. Can I replace it with an active pickup that will give me a more amplified sound? If so, is there one that would be recommended? Or would just replacing the piezo pickup do the trick? I'd appreciate any help -

Thanks!

I have a dumb question to ask ... have you tried changing out the battery? Your problem could be there. Sorry if you've already been through that.
