: I HAVE A FISHMAN PICKUP ON THE BRIDGE. I AM HAVING FEEDBACK PROBLEMS. I ALSO CANT GET IT LOUD ENOUGH BECAUSE OF THE FEEDBACK. HELP
You won't get loud with a Fishman also they have a "nasal" sound!
It really is worth investing the bucks in a Barbera bridge with the pickups built in . I would also go for an Acoustic Image Contra - if you check out my answer to "I need help with amplification - Luiz" I explain how to get real volume from the Contra amp there. I play in a blues band with 3 guitarists , harp player , drummer & vocals to keep up with and I still get asked to turn down !
I use this setup on both of my basses.- Andy.
