so my leolani has a shadow pickup installed. its alright i guess. i dont have any complaints. my hilo has a no-name pickup that i ripped out of an old steel string no-name guitar. i have to turn the tone all the way down, and mess with my EQ on my amp for the sound to come out anywhere close to what a uke sounds like.
now i have this lanikai 6 string. i love how it sounds. but when i purchased it, i had no intention on ever installing strap buttons or a pickup on it. but my brother convinced me that i should. so i got the buttons on. now i need a pickup. i totally loved how ibcruzn's kamaka sounded with that fishman matrix pickup. but its just a little too rich for me, and i cant justify paying more for the pickup than i did for the uke. so i was looking at the fishman AG series pickup for the uke. biggest difference is that it is passive so no battery needed. and i like the fact that there are no controls. just the condenser and the jack. so does anyone have any words on the AG series of fishman pickups?
what kind of pickups do you guys have in your ukes and how do you like them? just trying to get an idea of what else is out there, too.
thanks.
