  2. Re: Stan Jay, Pioneer of Vintage Instrument Fame Fighting For His

    This is very sad news. My wife and I visited the shop last year in June as I was in NY for a conference, and I had been looking forward to visiting the shop for ages. The moment we were through the...

    Re: Schertler or LR Baggs?

    Hi, to stick to the original question:

    I had both on trial, and went for the DYN.
    However, using ANY of them live requires additional equipment, for the baggs a PADI (cheaper than the venue,...

    Re: Schertler Placement

    I dont really see the need for a preamp with the DYN. However I do see the need for EQ.

    I heard someone used the MXR 10 band eq, so I'm trying one right now. On the mixers insert.
    Sure the range...

    Re: Bluegrass microphone

    Regarding polar patterns, the AT4033 is fixed cardioid I believe, and that, combined with a good sensitivity (probably not to high), and a rugged chassis must be why it is preferred for stage use....

    Re: Radius by L.R. Baggs

    I forgot to mention that my Yamaha mixer does not have a mic/line switch to control, ehh, impedance (?), and so the XLR input has a gain headroom of 26dB more than the line input. It's just the...

    Re: Radius by L.R. Baggs

    Thanks for the clips, and good points!
    But you use a preamp right ? I can't get enough signal into the mixer without one (maybe if I used a jack-xlr converter plug I could)

    Re: Schertler Placement

    Right, so sort of a "-20dB" switch on a preamp (to match line-level inputs).
    Do you know if such a thing can be bought, maybe as part of a DI-box, or do I also have to make it myself ?

    Re: Wegen picks

    I love the wegens.. TF140 and others.. I dont think they are expensive, compared to the life you get you of them. I'd like to try the bluechips though it sure is a lot of money.

    Re: Schertler Placement

    It's starting too look like "behind the bridge, bass side" is the way go.. I'll get right on with that. Just got the Baggs Venue to test as well, but I don't see how it could work with the...

    Re: Schertler Placement

    Interesting idea.
    And it is a strong point that not all mandolins are the same: flattops, archedtops, ovals, f5's, cross braced, tonebar braced, all very different in projection of sound I would...

    Re: Radius by L.R. Baggs

    Haha, good one.
    Are you talking about the Radius, when you say "piezo" ?
    On the package of the one I have, it reads: "magnetically damped accelerometer"
    Isn't piezo some artificial crystals that...

    Re: Schertler Placement

    Makes sense. I've tried in the digital domain to EQ recordings of both the radius and the DYN to their best potential.

    Suddenly the DYN wins by far. I've lowcut at 500Hz, dampened (-12dB) 850 Hz...

    Re: Radius by L.R. Baggs

    Hi guys!



    Right on!
    I have them both on trial (my guitarshop-man is kind) and I completely agree with you! At first listen, the radius sound very nice (after applying loads of EQ, ofcourse),...

    Re: Schertler Placement

    Hi Guys! I'm currently trying a DYN, and it seems to be pretty balanced like low/high almost nomatter where I put it.
    the baggs radius (that Im also trying) seem to be more sensitive to placement.
