MorrisrownSal Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Or... maybe the player is more important. Check this kid out. It's the same Josh Turner that Buc featured in a Frankie Valli medley a week ago. He is using the uber-inexpensive Dean Markley soundhole pup.
Buc McMaster Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Damn but those kids are good. That is a Markley sound hole pickup, but I do think I see a pencil mic of some kind pointed at the guitar..............
Joe M Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 He is using the uber-inexpensive Dean Markley soundhole pup. Hey, I've got one of those pup's in a box somewhere. Guess I'll dig it out and sound just like Josh.....
the other side Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Hey folks, I have a Dean markley pro-mag plus for my outside guitar. Does anyone know what I can plug the pickup into some type of volume control and then into the amp? I saw something on utube but I couldn't understand what the guy said. I asked a guy at GC and he didn't have any idea. The markley doesn't have a volume control knob on it. Any suggestions other than installing an under saddle one? It is an epi bird and really don't want to shell out the bucks for under saddle pu. Thanks!
Buc McMaster Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Martin used to make the VTC, a small volume/tone control that plugged into the end pin jack then accepted a standard guitar cord........might find one on eBay as they are out of production. Taylor makes the V-Cable that seems to be popular, with a volume-only control right on the 90 degree 1/4" guitar plug. Looks pretty simple........ My link This might work for you. Short of that, just a good old fashioned Ernie Ball volume pedal would do the job............
the other side Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Hey, Just a word of thanks! I'll give it a whirl.

If most of those people spent half as much time practicing as they doc geeking out on the secs of their gear, imagine how much better they'd sound? I'd rather hear a good, solid player with a "crappy" pickup and guitar over someone who geeks out on specs and has the "best" gear out there but can't play a lick.
EuroAussie Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 That's just great talent first and foremost, these two are fabulous. Maturity way beyond their years.
Murph Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 10-4 Back Porch..... There was a GREAT player around here 20 years ago and I went to see him at a bar, and he was playing a Tele. He recognized me and came over during the break to chat, and I asked him it was American, or Mexican. He said....... "I don't know." and he went and grabbed it and brought it to our table. It was a $300.00 Mexican Tele and he was making it sound like Jim Messina and Merle Haggard through a very old beat up solid state Lab Series amp. He truly didn't know, and didn't care, about gear and such and always sounded fantastic.
