>> Kris- You posted the ES system literature, which is in another world >compared to the Fishman system, and cannot be retrofittable to an >acoustic gutiar other than a Taylor. Just for the record. :) The ES >system is the best overall pickup on the market IMO, but you do need to >have a Taylor and $500+ to get one. Damn, you are right...they upgraded, but I definitely have the Fishman preamp in my Taylor, with the three EQ sliders, brilliance slider, frequency adjuster, etc. They must have made the change in that and other model? Nor for their nylons, they have the Fishman(tm) Prefix Pro® in many of them. Hell I don't know about these things, I just play the thing, and if it sounds good, then I don't complain! :) Kris -----Original Message----- From: obadia [mailto:obadia@clumsybeats.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 10:42 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: (acoustic guitar) Website: www.jo-jena.com Kris, do you use an electro-acoustic or piezo? i'm thinking about playing live with ONLY my nylon string guitar and SooperLooper. i'm a bit disappointed with the piezo microphones i tried so far, so i'm wondering... ps: i own a micro-modular, i love it and it's so conveniant to travel with. i haven't reached the limits of this small unit ________________________________________ Stéphane Obadia http://www.clumsybeats.org | > Nice to see you were drawn to the acoustic guitar, J.J.
