Anybody have experience playing miked ukes in a band setting?
I play ukulele (and a few other instruments) in a number of bands, and I've always used instruments with pickups. But I have a number of instruments without pickups that I never get to play out with. I was just adding up the cost of equipping them all with pickups, and once it got to be north of $1000, I started to wonder if I should just learn to mic my instruments instead.
I don't move around a whole lot, so I think I could live with that particular downside, but I wonder if I will be opening myself up to too many feedback issues, or if I will get lost in the mix when all the other instruments are plugged in.
Anyone care to share their experiences?
