I'm in the market for a pickup. Wondering about your experiences, if you guys/gals have found pickups that work better than others or if there were some that didn't work at all? Any advice or experiences would be helpful. Thanks.

	answerguru says: 9/17/2012 8:58:07 AM It depends on what type of playing you are looking at doing and how loud the band gets. There are the clip on mic type pickups (Gold Tone), or the one that fascinates me the most for anything in a very loud setting - the Kavanjo system.

	cbskibum says: 11/2/2012 11:48:25 PM I've been meaning to post a thank you for a while. I appreciate your comments. I got lucky and was able to pick up a fishman used that another guy I jam with wasn't using. The guys in the shop shiped the mounting bracket and I received it I 2 days. Lucky for me to because it works well and with the addition of a quality directional mic for the boost and a preamp it still sounds like a banjo. The mounting brackets are key because there is no way I would have figured out how to mount either the pickup or the jack with what Fishman provided and the helimount setup. Thanks again for all your input and Al Price and the guys in the shop. I ordered the bracket on a Thursay afternoon and it made it to my home in Seattle on a 4aturay afternoon in time for band practice. @ 25 bucks its a bargain
