Fishman Full Circle

[carlospppena]

Dear Lynn;

I just bought my double bass. It is a laminated Estle Louis from Gollihur music, from which i recieved super-great sevice and products. I like the acoustic sound very much. But, the pickup sound (Fishman full circle) has a "thud" that I dont like. Turning the pickup 1/8 of a turn does not help with this. It is a lot more of "finger scratching the string" than I would like. It is rare that the "thud" sound its more pronounced in the "A" string. The lower i set the action the less "thud" i get, but the acoustic sound deteriorates. The sound its not all bad. What i wanted to know if there is any way -that you know of- to reduce this particular caracteristic.

I am running this through a Fishman Platinum preamp, an Ibanez Promethean 500 amp, and a Hartke 210 speaker.

Best regards,

Carlos Pepe Peña
