Greetings, I am brand new to this website, Hope I'm posting in the right place. I have played fiddle for years but just got a mando for the first time and am looking into pickup options. A friend that I used to play in a band with had a K&K internal http://kksound.com/products/mandolintwin.php#simple5
and I remember it sounding pretty good albeit very hot and sometimes a little tinny (nothing that a preamp couldn't deal with though). We both used LR Baggs para acoustic DI's as our preamps and got pretty good results. The only problems I ever remember him having was that one of the nodes or paddles came loose one time in a concert and he had to resort to a mic. It also looks tempting bc it looks like you can probably install it yourself with a couple of tools.
Any experience, recommendations, warnings, anecdotes about this pickup would be greatly appreciated.
