Hello mandolin wizards!
I have a Gibson mandobird 4 string emando. As I posted here previously I noticed that the E string is dead compared to the others. It does not have the same volume or brilliance, and especially if I am playing thru any effects pedals, the effect is not present (wah, blues driver, etc).
I have lowered the action and raised the pickup and no improvement. I have ordered a warranty replacement pickup from Gibson, but I'm not sure if that's really going to solve the problem.
So, what should I do?
What kind of alternate replacement pickup should I consider?
I have read that other people have used Seymour Duncan or Bartolini pickups. Are these bass pickups?
Does a bass pickup really do the job?
HELP!
