Title says it all! I am really enjoying the new pickup and closer to find the Gooseneck Mic Sweet Spot. Tell me what you think!

Sounds great with 50% mic blend, much more natural than the previous pick up system. Very nice upgrade.
Hi doggylover1958, Blending is my preferred option too - I have not shown it in the vid but blending about 75% sounds great... Thanks so much!
This is an excellent presentation of the various sound options offered by the Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend. I have viewed several video options and the fact that you played the guitar exactly the same with each new setting , you gave the viewer the same exact guitar sound with each test. And that sound was only altered by Fishmans pickup settings. Excellent job thank you. Your excellent guitar skills also gave a more precise conclusion to the various settings. Im an older country guy from Wrightsville, Georgia USA, and grew on bluegrass and country, and most of the men in my family play stringed instruments, Thank you...
Good comparison and good explanation of the options for the fishman
thanks for explaining and showing so well..cheers Cesar!
Underwhelmed with the 100% mic setting. The treble highs virtually disappeared. But with 50/50 mix it sounded great. Nicely balanced
That capo trick to hold the strings is gold, bruv!!
Gran video, gracias por subirlo. Muy demostrativo de las posibilidades del sistema.
Genial video Cesar, muy interesante y geniales los sonidos que se sacan con la pastilla nueva. Un abrazo
Hey Jorge - todavia le tengo que encontrar el sweetspot al microfono pero ya me va sonando como yo quiero... Ahora trabajare un poco el patch del Helix y espero que suene de maravilla...Abrazos
you are the best thanks man!!
Great, well done review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Sounds great with the New Pick up Man
Hey Kevin - Still finding the best position for the Gooseneck but getting there... Cheers and Thanks!
that's a great sounding system and you did excellent work installing it! I installed the fishman ellipse system into one of my martin guitars, it is similar to this system, when we were on the road playing live shows it saved me a bunch of times, I'm sure your system would too! cheers bro!
Thanks Randy! I have tried a lot of systems before choosing this one - my goal was to get as close as possible to the acoustic mic'd sound, avoiding the " piezo-ish " " plastic " sound that the under saddle piezo systems give and not going through the trouble of mic'ing the guitar every time I am recording...... I am happy with the initial results...take care man...
Great job on the swap of systems and your detail showing each step! The before tone with the piezo is not good but typical of all piezo systems. The new system immediately makes everything better. Just the humbucker alone was an improvement. As soon as you dialed in the mic it was excellent. All mic alone didn’t work for me. I think if I was doing this I’d leave the old system intact and just purchase a new saddle and shave it down to a good action. Then I would try selling the old system on Marketplace or Reverb to recover some of the cost.
Anyway you did a great job with it all to your advantage.👍🏻
Blended with some of the bass.
Thanks!
According to my listening, half the mic sounds better!
Hi Cesar! Nice video! Un abrazo!
Gracias Antonio!
Very good... ❤,
Thanks so much. Very thorough and helpful video. Love it.
Also, I think you might new a few more guitars… 😊
I'm glad now to know why I hate the sound of my acoustic/electric guitar. It's the piezo pickup. It is a very distinctive sound, and I hate it. The new pickup sounds fantastic and now I need to replace mine!
Hola Cesar , muy buena review muchísimas gracias, me ha servido de mucho ya que estoy más que decidido a comprar el fishman rare earth. Una pregunta, digamos que el preamp original de la electroacústica ya no sirve de nada cierto ? Se podría dejar y seguir utilizando el piezo a veces y el fish man en otras ? Bueno muchas gracias
To my untrained ear it all sounds good to me Cesar .👍
You'll hear the recordings once I build a good patch... Thanks Si!
Thanks for the great comparison video. Have you found the sweet spot for the gooseneck in the meantime?
Would do me a huge favor ? .
And play Kansas, dust in the wind
Much difference in the before and after. After is better .😊
Hi! I will! Stay tuned and thanks!
@@CesarAllGuitar Thank you , sir.
Hey! This weekend I'll post a Complete Lesson of Dust in the Wind. Just stay tuned.
@@CesarAllGuitar Thank you so munch
It sounds very nice with humbucker... And sounds very good at 50% ... And 100% mike is glorious! Very natural .... Well this thing works great in all selected positions. Very versatile! And to tell you the truth it is very natural and sounds great. I don't like the "before" config. because ist sounds like the guitar was in a small box. Otro abrazo!
The previous Fishman was too " Piezo-ish ", specially in the bass strings... Now I need to try with different positions of the gooseneck mic to find the sweet spot... Cheers Antonio!
This is great. I personally like the 50-50 with bass max. Just to clarify, the original transducer pickup is still installed just to maintain the height but it's not electrically connected?
That is correct. I kept the under - saddle pickup just to maintain the height so I could keep the same string action and not changing the saddle. It is not electrically connected at all. Thanks for watching!
I remember that in one of your videos you mentioned that the bottom of the guitar has no effect on the sound and I remember also that some Spanish luthier made a guitar without a bottom and the sound was the same... So my question is why the guitar companies do not make some openings so that access to the electronics is made easier? Un abrazo!
Interesting question - I think it is more because of structural reasons... Abrazo Antonio!
Blended
😀
Thanks for your info vidio...I like the blended much better...iam thinking about doing the same to my guitar..🇺🇸😎☕
I'm sure the sound is totally different with the new pickup. What I'm not sure about is if I like the sound of this guitar more than your Yamaha Silent.
😀 Two different animals, totally... I am still using my silent a lot, the steel string one - but the nylon string one needs some new piezo system... it decided to stop working one month ago - although it served the purpose and beyond, with me since 2011... Cheers man!
Te planteaste la LR Baggs M1 o M80 como alternativas? Estoy entre esas dos y la Fishman para mi Furch 00M. Un saludo César.
Hola Alberto - ojo porque esas dos pickups son al fin y al cabo humbuckers. No tienen micrófono... Tenemos la m80 en el estudio y a mi - personalmente - no me convence. La ventaja de esta que he puesto you es que tiene el humbucker y el microfono y puedes hacer blending. Personalmente creo que no hay color pero ... prueba y decide. ES muy personal. Gracias!
Gracias a ti! Salud!
Hi what preamp and audio interface do u use for this? 😀
Hi! It goes straight into my Helix without any effect. My interface is always Focusrite.
I think I would measure the under saddle pickup with calliper and replace it with a gauge of copper wire the same as the pickup under saddle, to keep original system as one.
Also I liked the 50/50 blend but I still really liked the original PRS system. Think I'd leave it. Thanks for your great video.
