EliasMooseblaster Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 My acoustic guitar didn't come with a pickup fitted, so I have a SD Woody which I bung in the hole (stop sniggering at the back) for live performances. It's a lot less faff than trying to stay still in front of a microphone and risking squealing feedback to boot, however it does seem to be a very weak signal compared to, say, the built-in (passive) pickup in my resonator. Is this a problem anyone else has had? Should I be looking at some kind of outboard preamp, or looking to repair/replace this pickup?

MoonBassAlpha Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I have a passive Fishman in my acoustic and that also has rather low output. I suspect it is the nature of the beast. I have to turn the gain right up on my acoustic cube amp to get it to register the input l.e.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Another passive Fishman pickup owner here (the Neo-D Humbucker). Can't comment on the low output, as I only use it for recording, and adjust to suit. Edited September 4, 2018 by Skybone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
