			  | Miguel de Maria -> RE: any advice on the " B Band" pick up system? (Feb. 13 2006 22:57:37) |  
			  | I don't have a b-band (btw, not all b-bands have mics in them), but I do have the Fishman prefix.  The prefix has a piezo element under the saddle and a condensor microphone which can be blended.  I like the system, as it can add a little edge to your sound beyond the piezo.  The question is what do you want the system for...if you are going to use it to accompany dancers, then I do not recommend it.  You should use a mic.  The strumming sound if vastly inferior for any pick-up type system.  However, if you're going to be doing rumba jams then I think the pick-up really works well.
