i got this cheap ass cherub wcp 60g intsrument mic/pickup

Post by gaybear »

and i'm actually digging it.
11.95, though i see some at 8 bucks online.
you can clip it whereever.
i prefer it on the headstock of my cheap ass acoustic, rather than the sound-hole. why? cause it really does pick up a lot, and so on the sound hole it picks up too much extraneous sounds.
i got it cause i can clip it to anything, and it's cheap.
gonna use on: ukalele, banjo dulcimer and acoustic guitar.

There was also one that attached with a suction cup for 15 bucks.
And another clip-on for 29.95, that was better, but i'm too broke.

the more i'm working with this, the more i'm digging it.
it can feedback of course, but i only get feedback if it's close to the amp.
the cable is too short, but is working for now.
it's almost like it's own instrument.
kinda like a vocal to mic relationship

what can take coming accustomed to, is the fact that it's mic'ing the wood, so it will pick up every time you move your hand. not just the fingers on the strings, but the thumb moving up and down the neck. but, it's actually kinda cool that way. it's like a hyper-intimate Eliot Smith sound
