Re: K&K Pickup or Microphone on Collings?
I play in a 4 piece band, I put K&Ks in my Collings MF, run it through a Red Eye preamp (nice solo boost switch on it), into a powered mixer, and I added a Boss GE-7 EQ for tone sculpting (makes a big difference!).
Nothing would prevent me from using a mic if I chose to, but I'll never choose to live because we're jamming loud, singing all the time, moving around on stage, easier to control plugged in and set the volume/tone. Maybe recording I would use a mic.
Collings MF Gloss Top mandolin, Kentucky KM-1000 mandolin, Godin A-8 electric mandolin, Pono Ukulele, Gold Tone PBS Signature Resonator guitar, Martin/Taylor 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, Les Paul/ES-335/LP Jr./Strat/Tele elec guitars.
