Thank you all so much, this has been incredibly helpful. I see now that I will get closer to the sound in my head by swapping the pup and do not need to add the expense of a new pre and amp at this time, but that I must be willing to spend the time to work my EQ both alone and with my band to...

Thank you all very kindly, it's Really helpful to see this conversation splay out, and I hadn't heard of the Yamahiko before. I mostly play large spaces with small to moderate crowds, the open barn style brewhouses that are popular in New England right now. Frequently we are outdoors. The music...

Hello! I've been happily using a Krivo mag pup through an Aguilar Tone Hammer into a Hartke head for years, gave my steel string upright a deep growl that I loved. Been a great rig. I recently changed strings and a lot of the growl left, but I love the acoustic tone, so I'm giving thought to...

The Eurosonics are actively listed on the Gollihur website as working well with the Krivo pup, and yes Gollihur did get back to me, after I had made the previous post, the gentleman who manufactures the Krivo pups has helped me determine that the pup is faulty and he is swapping it out. Which is...

My band practices inside a JamHub studio, so hum is extremely annoying. A p-bass running the same signal chain makes no noise. uOpt i'd love for you to dispell my incorrect preconceptions. Unfortunately i've contacted Gollihur twice and gotten no response.

Hm, thanks I'll take it up with the distributor as I did buy it new. It's a new Krivo pup, claims it's a humbucker, tends to get solid reviews, I like the sound well enough, though the Eurosonics are a bit lackluster going from the warm thick tones of the Helicore Pitzicattos that came on the...

thanks for the pointers! The cables are good, brand new Planet Waves American Standards. The noise does go away only when I touch the jack, the pup itself is encased in wood. I had hoped to easily ground the jack to the strings by connecting it to the ball end of the strings, but that didn't...

Hello! I have only been playing about 18 months, just did my first string change and pup purchase, putting Eurosonic lights over a Krivo pup, run through an LR Baggs Venue DI into a JamHub studio. Only problem is a ground hum. I'm sure it's a problem of space, plugged in in my basement which...

lot of great stuff in that other thread, i've been working the middle finger, definitely liking it, but i'm going to try the rotational snapping on the other thread as well, thank you most kindly for your help! I'll doubtless end up asking myriad other beginner questions as the adventure...

hey that's great thank you both! i definitely understand that i've got many years to go before this all gets comfortable and tight, but i'll work on relaxing a bit on my attack, i also appreciate the use of language here, little things like using "pull" will help me in the future when trying...

Good Morning! I've been playing the upright for less than 3 months now, got myself a DVD tutorial that was moderately helpful in the learning, using the internet as much as possible, and have myself a question. I gather that when plucking a string, one brings the broad side of the index...
