Hi
What is considered the best fiddle pickup? We have used a fishman and the'band' previously with mixed results specifically with feedback issues.

I am sure this has been covered in the past - I have friends who do well with Microvox .

Have seen previous posts - some quite old so wondering if anything new on the market.

I use a Shadow. Cheap, effective, and highly valued by festival sound-men driven to distration by fiddle feedback.

Here's that other thread from a few weeks ago:
