Members Noak Posted June 19, 2007 Members Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yup, just recently installed a B-band AST pickup... http://www.b-band.com/guitar-systems/ast.php It's a great sounding pickup, works like condenser that's placed inside the guitar under the bridge. However, I'm experiencing feedback due to vibrations in the top of the guitar, if I push the top down with my hand the feedback dissapears. I was thinking about those things you put in the soundhole but I've got my vokume knob there, any other advices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted June 19, 2007 Members Share Posted June 19, 2007 Feedback is a common phenomenon with acoustic transducer pickups. Soundhole feedback busters certainly help but these usually fill the entire soundhole. If that presents a problem, you might be able to adapt a propriety feedback buster (or make one yourself out of a suitable material - I've done this using a semi-rigid foam plastic sheet) to only fill part of the sound hole. I don't know if anyone else has found a different solution to reduce feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noak Posted June 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks for the advice, I realize I might have to experiment a bit to see what works well, but I will try this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EvilTwin Posted June 19, 2007 Members Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hmm...could it be an issue with pickup placement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noak Posted June 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hmm...could it be an issue with pickup placement? Nope, I don't think so. The package with the preamp and pickup from b-band included a cardboard installation template which guides the pickup to the right position. I guess feedback is a common issue, so there's really nothing strange about it, just want to catch up a few advices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
