I had a Fishman pickup put on my guitar by Richard Stanley. When I
picked up my guitar, he asked me to check out a couple of preamps.
One was $100, the other $150. The less expensive one seemed to make
no difference at all, the more expensive one was OK. He had just gotten
them, and was looking for some other opinions on them.
I had gotten a Fishman put on my 12 string the year before, and had
been using an EQ with it, and it sounded just fine. I thought the EQ
was better then either of the preamps, because I had a LOT more control
over the shape of the sound. And it provides a boost, which the
Fishman definately needs if you're plugging into a board!!
The Fishman pickups do need something.....especially on a 6 string.
Once I messed around with the EQ settings, I really could tell how
harsh it sounded without it.
