I am looking for a pickup system that can accurately represent the 
organic "acoustic" sound (for lack of a better term) of an acoustic 
guitar. I am frustrated with my Fishman bridge pickup and a Sunrise 
pickup I recently tried. They sound too brittle and electric. Any 
recommendations?

Can anyone vouch for the Fishman Blender system that uses a mike in the 
guitar itself? Does feedback issues make this non-practical?

Thanks,
Phil Bates

Phil, 

If you can get the opportunity to find a Roland AD5 box to try out at your 
local upper end music/guitar center, you might find that you can live with 
your existing "condition."  I have a fishman goldline in one of my guitars, & 
had it in 2 others with better results once I got ahold of the Roland box.  
They have the AD3 as well, but I liked the features of the 5 series better.

I also have the blender system on my latest guitar, & like it well enough to 
recommend it to others (although I must say that I don't use it in a high spl 
environment).  However, the AD5 gives you chorus, reverb, 2 types of pickups, 
a mike placement feature, as well as subbing for a high-end direct box

If you get to check one out, let me know what you think!

Dennis
