I am building an octave mandolin, flat top. I will use it for gigs, so I want to add a pickup that has a volume control that I can mount on the instrument. Most times, my band doesn't have a sound man, so I want to be able to turn my volume up for solos, then back down for backup playing. I have been using a mic, stepping up and back to control volume, but that gets aggravating in a loud room.
Any suggestions on what would be best for this? I am about to start bracing the top, so this is a good time to get parts ordered so I'll have everything before I close the box.
Thanks!
