Aloha,
I am thinking about putting a pickup into one my ukes. I really like the idea of messing around with sound effects, also on rare occasion i like to play insane rock mode on my line 6 amp.
Does anyone have a passive pickup and use sound effects plugging it straight in to the amp? I been getting some mix information from people saying i don't need a active preamp pickup to play sound effects properly and some people say, if using a passive pickup using heavy sound effects there is a high chance there will be allot of feedback howling.
I have not tried using heavy effects on a high quality passive pickup , in the past i had a ukulele with fishman preamp active pickup and it worked very well with effects. I am leaning towards a good quality passive pickup because i can get a good deal on one, but I am not sure if it will work well with the type of things i want to do. Also another suggestion was getting a passive and just using a external preamp on the side. Also how much are yall paying for your preamp pickups installed now days>?
Some info our advice would be great.
