LR Baggs Anthem/Anthem SL...any opinions

[Jinder]

I'm intrigued by this pickup. I'm happy with the Fishman UST in my AJ, but the guitar has such a strident, lush natural voice that I'm considering whether there are pickups out there which would enable that voice to be heard more distinctly.

 

I have a JJB Electronics Prestige 330 which is a tremendous pickup (K&K style triple-bug AST) didn't suit the AJ.

 

Other candidates are a Baggs iBeam or a Fishman Aura 16 pedal...anyone care to share experiences?

The Aura pedal or Spectrum would be my recommendation if you already have the UST intalled. It will bring out the natural flavour of the guitar as it does on mine.

I tried to PM you but your box is full.

Send me an email or PM when you have a chance.

I really like the Anthem I have in my J-50. I have an ibeam in another guitar, and I think the anthem is better.

I have the full Anthem in my Collings CJ and the standard Element in a Gibson J-45. The Anthem really is head and shoulders above...very natural sounding. With the mic-ust mixability and built-in phase control, you get a very natural sound and few feedback problems. No experience with the SL.
