The Shark Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 My band mate and buddy has a killer concert size Collings and the pickup sucks. It feeds back and sounds nothing like the instrument it's amplifying. Can anyone tell me the best system available. And price is no object. Thanks.
fractal Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 +1 on the Anthem. Great, non-typical-piezo acoustic sound.
Jeff R Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 +20 on the recent generation of LR Baggs retrofit systems because that's about how many Anthems and Lyrics I've installed in a variety of mid- to upper-tier acoustics this year. While the Lyric is very good and quite sufficient, I prefer the Anthem as well. It simply sounds more rich, nicely full and robust. I've installed and troubleshot/fixed a variety of on-board acoustic systems this year and if I was upgrading my own go-to (self-restored and slightly modified '74 Gibson Hummingbird), it would get an Anthem, without question or hesitation.
Steve Haynie Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I had to go look up the Anthem pickup system.
The Shark Posted November 26, 2017 Author Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks, fellas. I'll tell him to get the Anthem and get rid of the god awful Fishman thing he has in it!
The Shark Posted December 20, 2017 Author Posted December 20, 2017 My friends on the Hamer Forum came through again! The Anthem sounds incredible and my buddy couldn't be more impressed. I set up a simple clean preset with reverb on his Line 6 Firehawk and it's perfect. Thank you, gentlemen.
