BluesKing777 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I recorded some few blues noodling with the Fishman Neo-D soundhole humbucker pickup running though my Tonedexter with the sound image of my old 35 L50. It doesn't sound like either but the 37 L-0 has electricity! I will put a couple of photos up, but there isn't a real lot of wood to hook the pickup to! Anyway, I would play live with this sound easily - doubt it would feedback, well not for what I do. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well, I like this pickup in the old Gibson and run through Tonedexter more each time I play it! What a great sound for a soundhole! Never thought I would say that or this....I would use this setup live and I don’t like soundhole Baggs and others..at all. So I put up a great vintage Gibson with a great sound and not one reply? Am I in the wrong forum? I don’t see much about small body Gibsons lately. Someone has to put them up front. BluesKing777.

duluthdan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Undecided. Your playing would sound good even with a plywood sound hole pickup. The last couple of chords sounded top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks Nick and Dan! And I would sound horrible with a plywood soundhole pickup, for sure. I want perfect or I don't play! Um, these posts with the pickup and Tonedexter are all meant for getting a sound live, eg the blues night I go to occasionally, not for recording as such. To get a decent recording, I just plug in the Neumann mic! But playing live with a guitar you don't want to alter, like my old L-0, is pretty dicey. It is mic only or soundhole pickup, that's it - no drilling this old guitar any more. The mic only is fraught with awfulness at the blues night jam night - a bent and multi spat upon old SM58 through a strange little PA. I hate the sound of my Neo-D pickup alone so need all the preamp help I can get. And I would need security to keep all the guitarists away from my L-0! Can you imagine? BluesKing777.
