Why is my guitar a radio antenna???
|

|
I have a clip-on Bartlet Guitar Mike that I like to use now and then. Clips on to the soundhole. Works pretty good, but buzzes sometimes for no reason. ( Bruce B says maybe I don't have the clip tight enough.) About half an hour ago I was using the mike on my guitar, playing through my little AS50D Marshall amp. When I stopped playing I could distinctly hear two voices talking, coming thrugh the amp speakers; one male, one female. It was two local radio stations! I had my thumb resting on the soundhole clip at the time. I removed my thumb - no voices. Put my thumb back on the clip, more voices. . . Continued doing this for a while, listening to the two radio voices and wondering what the @#$% was going on here??? And I'm still wondering what might have caused this weird effect !!! Its almost as if my thumb and the guitar were acting as a radio antenna somehow; picking up and transmitting signals to the condenser mike and through the amplifier? Never had it happen before. . . I know absolutely @#$%all about sound and radio technology. Can any sound or radio techie-whiz explain what might be going on here? I'll check with Bruce Bartlett anyway, but was wondering if others had also experienced this interesting phenomenom. . .
