[Worship] Acoustic Guitar Pickups - the bionic box... Fishman Vs Lr Baggs

[OTCband@aol.com]

Hi there....

I have a Fishman Blender system in my Taylor 814 that I don't care for.  I 
have an LR Baggs pickup in my Goodall guitar that I love.  The sound is much 
more natural. The volume output of the Lr Baggs is a lot lower though.  I 
hardly ever use the microphone portion of either though... they don't work 
well in a live setting, and a good mic combined with the pickup line out 
sounds better in the studio.

One thing I would suggest for everyone with an acoustic guitar that 
especially helps the Fishman pickups sound a lot better is a box that LR 
Baggs makes called a "Para acoustic DI"  it is a bionic direct box that has 
eq on it as well as a phase shift and volume.  I plug my acoustics into it.  
Every time I play at a church the sound guys gather around and ooh and ah and 
want to buy one to keep at the church.  They make just about any acoustic 
guitar sound better.  I use it with the lr baggs to have some tone control 
which the Lr baggs doesn't have.  I have the kind that's non-invasive... they 
don't have to cut a big hole in the guitar to install the controls.  They 
have a blender and volume control that clips onto the sound hole and is very 
small.  It's great because when the technology changes I won't have a big 
plastic dinosaur sticking out of my $3,500 Goodall which is such a wonderful 
instrument I couldn't bear to cut a big hole in it anyway.
