Help: Fiddle amplification.

Subject: Fiddle amplification.
From: Murray MacLeod

The fiddler with whom I play as a duo has just had her fiddle kitted out with an LR Baggs pickup. Now I know we can go straight to the board with this, but she really wants to have a preamp and radio transmitter set-up. The problem is, although we are both brilliant musicians, we know squat about electronics. Hence the plea for help.

Are there any fiddlers out there who use a radio transmitter and preamp together, is such a package available in one unit, is it possible to transmit to a preamp located at the amp? (She doesn't want to look like Bill Murray in "Ghostbusters" )

Any help would be gratefully received. I realise this may have been discussed before, but if so I can't find any previous threads.

Murray

I plug the preamp into the PA, then the receiver unit into the preamp with standard jack leads. The transmitter on my belt then plugs into the fiddle. Hey Presto. Sounds complicated- it isn't.
