Thread Name: Acoustic Pickup help...
Subject: RE: Acoustic Pickup help...
Whoa! That's getting a little techy for this simple fella... but, I understand your point... experiment, move my mic here and there - even behind? Wouldn't have thought of that.....

Here's the deal... I just do my Martin and my marginal vocals... and I have a little 4 track Fostex (tape)... I dont expect studio quality, but I'd like to get something that I can stand to listen too... and maybe let someone else here - just maybe.

I have the SM58 and another mic, a low end something-or-other.... I've been a little dissapointed in the guitar sound with the 58, only because the high strings sound twangy, the bass stuff sounds pretty good (accounting for my skill level).... maybe it's mic position? Should I try two mics or is that going to just complicate things?

Thanks for any advice...
