Thanx Tim,i just installed a Trance Audio on my guitar but haven´t been too happy with it because i installed it myself and everybody that uses this systems say that it requires a certain amount of vodoo;-)so i guess ill let them do it next time i am in california.The fact that it has its own dedicated cable is also a bit of a drag so ill probably end up putting an aditional magnetic on it with a separate second output. I was checking out the amazing guitarist Jon Gomm and he also mentions the much cheaper belcat transducers,have u try them? Luis --- Tim Nelson <psychle62@yahoo.com> wrote: > --- "L.
