The pickup is not responding on a bose pa or fender amp. Is there somehow a battery in there? Or is a preamp required?

Apparently you have to put electric guitar strings on it for the pickup to respond;) switch the strings out.

Can you only play this sitar with an amplifier? And if not, does it sound loud?

Yes you can play it without amplifier too and its sounds good. thanks
