Dave's acoustic pickup

The Man of The Hour · Post by **The Man of The Hour** » Sun Dec 22, 2002 3:09 am

Curious, what kind of pickup does dave use? I'm sure he uses a couple different ones. I am looking to buy one for my acoustic, sadly you can't try them all out, as you can guitars. Any suggestions?

Definitely get a Sans Amp. i dont know much about them but i know that they are external (and go after the pickup)... the like SUPER boost your pickup's acoustic sound to make your guitar sound super better... dave and tim used these a lot and probably still do. As for the pickup... im quite happy with the fishman matrix 2 or whatever.

the only pickup I would ever use again is an L.R. Baggs I-Beam...

they're slowly but surely making a big splash...elderly instruments I believe is the biggest acoustic guitar dealer in the country and they all endorse that pickup over anything by a landslide...

The LLC book says they (dave and tim) used Fishman Gold Natural 2's on the tour.

does the i-beam work with a 12-string? i have a friend that wants to put a pickup in his 12-string and he's looking for a good one.

the dm3md comes standard with a martin/fishman transducer pickup, but im not positive that thats what dave has in his.

it's not really on the web site since they don't sell it anymore, but you can go <a href="http://www.pro-music-news.com/html/03/e ... m">here</a>. it's basically the same page that martin used to have up.
