Hi there! I'm a jazz singer/ukulele performer looking for a good way to mic my ukulele for live performance.
I have a 1930s Gretsch that have been reticent to cut into it for a pickup installation, and in fact found out from the local luthier that there is no way to instal any kind of professional grade pickup because of the construction of the saddle.
My current setup is the vintage-type Sure Super 55 with a straight mic stand (to give a nice throwback vibe) for vocals and a Sure SM57 attached to a separate mic stand for my ukulele. But because I have to sing up close to the vocal mic, I have to sandwiching my ukulele in between the two mic stands—which is a bit cumbersome.
Any recommendations on quality mic-ing systems would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I would love to know if anyone has had success using any of these instrument mics?
