Every week I play in my church praise band and sometimes an occasional performance elsewhere. I have typically played my kohr k500 with this <a href="
I can't really say. Usually I would say yes and I would also say that your K500 with a good or even built in pickup, perhaps built in bridge pickup would be a better solution especially since you like it.

Alright, Thanks!

But what preamps would you suggest? 

And also is there a name to the song you played at 00:16 in the video above, or just improvisation?

Was just browsing the new threads - can't help with the technical issues on an AE - but FiddlerMan was playing Tennessee Waltz - in his own inimitable style!  

Good luck with your quest !

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Thanks BillyG,
I love the small Fishman preamps. Can have it close to you to control the tone. Just don't let the sound guys see you adjusting 😉

Ok, thanks Fiddlerman and BillyG!

What's the main difference between the preamp you suggested and the other Fishman preamp at the same price

Do you prefer the one you suggested?

The one you are referring to is probably a better solution for you since it has the belt clip. It's a great stage preamp. I think the thing you need to look at are the features on each one. How will you be using your pre-amp?

I'll be using the the preamp to control tone, etc. I don't know how much I'll be using a belt clip, so I am kind of torn between the two. However, I'm starting to lean a little more toward the platinum mainly because it's a newer model.

My thoughts exactly. I couldn't find the other model on their website which leads me to believe they have phased it out and as soon as they are sold out they will no longer be available. Go with the newer one. 🙂
