Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Fishman Piezo bridges.

I've got one guitar with a Graphtech Piezo bridge (which I like) and another with a LR Baggs Piezo which after 2 years I'm considering changing.

It's not a bad sound (although it requires a fair bit of eq and the string to string balance isn't the best), it has a nice sparkle to it but in the end I prefer the sound of the Graphtech

So, I'm just interested to get some input from anyone that has the Fishman as to what they think.

Cool

Thanks - Chris

Hi Stratcat,

I've got Fishman/Wilkinson on the custom Parker P-38 (without preamp & 9v bat.), sounds just great. Also I've got Shadow/Kahler on the Shadow guitar and Shadow/Shaller on the custom Patrick Eggle strat. They are OK not as powerful and consistent as Fishman.
I don't use any pre-equalisation on it, straight to the good valve amp input.
Here is a sample www.drika.biz/mornin.mp3
all guitars on the track are Parker with Fishman.
