Acoustic Pickups
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:23 pm
I have a factory installed active matrix (presumed to be a Fishman) pickup in my J-45 Rosewood and L. R. Baggs' iMix in my 730S. While I do not have an "acoustic amp", the 730S sounds very good when played through any of my "electric" amps (70s Deluxe Reverb, Fender Champion 600, or Victoria Victoriette). However, the feedback with the J-45RW is unbearable.
It's to the point that I'm thinking of having the pickup removed all together. The other possibility is installing another pickup, although it would be used only three or four times a year. I’ve always believed that it’s better to have and not need a pickup, rather than to need and not have it. Any suggestions short of buying an acoustic amp?
