• An innovative new pickup system that makes it possible to turn any violin or viola into an electric instrument with the snap of two Velcro straps.

Product Description

Headway's The Band Violin Pickup Sytem gives you a compact, durable, and easy-to-install pickup capable of providing electric amplification for your violin or viola without the need for any destructive modifications to the instrument itself. The benefits of The Band are many: You'll get far greater volume levels before feedback compared to using a microphone. In addition to cutting feedback, The Band reduces bowing noise and body sounds and gives you the ability to filter out excessive treble. Thanks to The Band violin and viola pickup you'll have more freedom to use the stage when you're no longer tied down to your microphone stand during performances. Just think how much faster you'll get through sound checks with this unique band-shaped pickup on your violin or viola! The increased headroom (volume) before feedback offered by The Band pickup enables you to monitor your violin without problems from modest to high volumes. The Band wraps around your violin under the strings and is firmly secured with 2 Velcro® hook-and-loop strips in a 3-step process: 1. Pass the end of The Band pickup tube under the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece and wrap it around the violin's waist. 2. Strap the 2 ends of the tube firmly around the violin's back and secure with the provicded Velcro® strip. 3. Wrap the other provided Velcro® tape is around the first to provide additional security for the mounted pickup. Headway's The Band instant pickup works equally well on violins and violas and is covered with a stylish black material that will not detract from your instrument's appearance.

Headway The Band Violin Pickup System Review

The Praise Team has Violinists that alternate from time to time. "The Band for Violin", by Headway, is easy to move from one Violin to another and has proven to be 100% dependable for the nearly two years since the first pickup was placed in service. Inclusive of a "The Band for Cello", there are now four pickups in use on a regular basis. The passive, unbalanced, output from "The Band" is at a high enough level to take such directly into a Passive "Imp DI Box" and then take the Balanced Low Impedance Signal into a microphone input on the Mix-Board. With 150' of cable from the Violin to the Mix-Board there are no noise or signal loss problems. If a Violinist needs mobility, we take the output from "The Band" directly into a Sennheiser EW100, EW300 or EW500 Body Pack. Last but not least, the tone quality of "The Band" is nothing less than phenominal! Once you try it, you will love it.

BIYANG'S "BABY BOOM" RV-10 TRI-REVERB Review

I ordered one of these bad boys on a whim. It's definitely the best verb it's price range. You can dial in some pretty lush tones.

It has a 3 way toggle, that changes it from hall, spring and room verbs.
There'd is also an a/b switch that is almost a tone mode. A is bright and in your face, and B is very lush and ambient.
Using these settings you can go from electro harmonix holy grail to fender spring reverb.

Also has a blend knob, which controls wet and dry signal mix, and time knob that controls, you guessed it reverb time and amount.
Very versatile.

This pedal is built with great construction, though the first one I received was faulty. All sorts of popping and weird stuff going on.
The 2nd one works flawlessly. Seems very durable, switch and jacks are quality.

I highly recommend getting a 1spot or 9v adapter b/c this thing drains batter power FAST, though all modulation pedals do.

This pedal does not suck tone, and is true bypass, though I wish this wasn't, as I wish reverb trails were avail after the effect was turned off.

For < $75 shipped I certainly can't complain.
If you have any hesitations on the Biyang stuff, I definitely recommend it.

Fender Mustang III - V.2 Guitar Amplifier Review

I recently picked up a Fender Mustang III, V2 (version 2.0) at a local GC music store. Amazon.com sells these amps as well. Bought it on 4/5/2013.

This is a full featured guitar amplifier that uses digital signal processing to obtain many effects and synthesizes the sound of older Fender, VOX, Marshall, and some other well known amps. The old Fender amp simulations are especially convincing. The way this works is the guitar signal is first amplified to about a 1 volt level in a preamp, then is digitized using an analog to digital converter (A/D). The signal is processed in the digital domain to create the effects, amp models, and tones. Then the signal is converted back to the analog domain using a digital to analog converter (D/A). From here it goes to a power amp to bring the signal up to a 100 watt level needed to drive the speaker.

The earlier version of this amplifier had a few minor problems (and they are just minor). I will list them:

1) There was some 'hiss' or 'fizz' that could be heard at the end of a guitar strum. This was reported to be a firmware (i.e. software) issue related to the noise suppression module. This was fixed on the version 2.0 unit, which I bought. It was reported that this problem was corrected in an earlier release of firmware, on V1 units. I have not confirmed this.
2) There was also a audible 'hiss' on SOME units, and the reports on-line say that this was a power supply or power amplifier issue. This problem is also fixed on the version 2.0 units. The 'hiss' could be heard regardless of where the controls were set. My unit, using a guitar with humbuckers, on most of the Amp simulations, is dead quiet. On the high gain amp simulations (i.e metal), there is some background noise, but this is unavoidable, and is due to physical limitations of audio amplifiers.

I bought this unit for home and recording use only. Many guitarists will use it for gigging and it is definitely loud enough for that. What is interesting is that, unlike many other amps, especially tube amps, this unit sounds and works very well at low bedroom volumes. Amps that don't have several volume or volume + gain controls will get loud very quickly after you just crack the volume control up a bit. Not so with this one. You can dial in any level of volume easily. This unit has 3 controls for Volume. Think of that as coarse, fine and extra fine.

The Fender specs quote a 100 watt power output for this unit. I really thought this was going to be too loud but it turned out to be fine. At bedroom volume levels, you are playing at perhaps 0.1 to 0.2 watts. The 100 watt capability insures that the peaks of your guitar signal will be free from clipping and distortion. A guitar signal can have peaks as high as 30 dB above the average listening level. So if you are playing at 0.1 watts, 30 dB higher would be 100 watts.

Of course, if you want distortion, there are several stomp box settings and amp models available to get almost any type of distortion or overdrive sound that you would like, but in doing it this way, it is under your full control.

The Mustang III has 8 different reverb types, ranging from plate to hall to old Fender spring reverbs from the '60s and they sound realistic to my ears. There are a number of adjustments available to tailor the reverb to your liking. Has much more control than on a old Deluxe reverb.

One of the types of music that I play is jazz and this unit has a very nice clean jazz sound to my ears. When using the Twin Reverb model, a bit of reverb and some compression it sounds great and close to a tube amp, even with the pick attack sound.

Some on-line reports say that the Celestion speaker in this unit needs playing time to 'break in" and initially will not sound so smooth - Too much high end. I did not notice this but it sounds reasonable given that the speaker cone may be very stiff when first manufactured. More stiffness corresponds to less bass or low end. It will probably take about one month of playing before the speaker is fully broken in.

I was originally going to buy the Mustang II, because it was smaller, cost less, and had lower power output, but I decided to go with the Mustang III for the following reasons:

A) The Mustang II only has ONE button footswitch control. This is way too limited for stage use or recording. The Mustang III has available SIX footswitch controls
to turn on/off different amp models and effects - Much better for my use. It comes with a TWO button footswitch. The other FOUR button footswitch is optional.
B) The Mustang II has a very limited interface for setting up the amps and effects and needs a computer to make many adjustments. The Mustang III interface is much, much easier to use and does not even need the computer to set up most details.
C) The III has a separate adjust for Reverb and Middle (tone).
D) The Mustang III will have a better resale value later since it can be a real gig amplifier.
E) The Mustang III comes with a better speaker than the I or II - A Celestion G12T-100 which is modeled after the well known Greenback. This speaker costs $100.00 by itself.
F) The III has 2 XLR balanced recording outputs for direct input to a mixer.
G) The cost difference between the II and the III is about $130.00, as of this writing.

In summary, the Mustang III amp is a terrific value for the money if one just adds up the cost of buying a 100 watt amp with a premium speaker, plus all of the effects. It sounds great and has the Blackface Fender sound I was looking for. It also can be set up for a very nice Jazz sound AND can be used at moderate volume levels. Since it is solid state, there are no tube or High Voltage reliability problems, and no tubes to replace. It can simulate many different amplifiers, allowing a wide variety of sounds for stage or recording use.

D'Addario EJ26-10P Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light, 11-52, 10 Sets Review

Sorry about using my credentials in the title, but I want to convey how much experience I have with these strings. Sorry if I sound like an ad. I REALLY love these strings.

I have strung literally thousands of guitars over my 40 years of repairing stringed instruments. D'Addario EJ16s are IMHO the best strings money can buy- it is the standard of the industry for good reason... they're simply the best string available! D'Addario's corrosion-proof sealed bags ensure you get them as fresh as when they left the factory. Lower grade cheap strings are shipped in simple paper envelopes and allow the metals inside to oxidize just while sitting on the shelf at the warehouse, store or while in your case. On the other hand, expensive hand made strings, like DRs or J Pierce, are wrapped way too tightly, thus, have too much mass, so your guitar's intonation and rod will probably need to be readjusted. They also play stiffly. D'Addario uses the best steel and bronze alloy and wraps the wound strings with just the correct tension over a hex-shaped inner wire. This causes the outter wrapped wire to essentially be "locked" onto the inner hex wire. This secure wrap keeps it from separating and allows the string to breathe and bend great. They're also VERY resistant to breakage. I have only broken a handful of D'Addarios over several thousand restringings, and the breakages usually only occurred due to a burr on the tuner post, nut, or bridge. On strings like Martin SPs, they're known to be a more bendable string than Daddarios. This is because the inner wire of the wound strings are much smaller in diameter. This leads to easier string breakage and easier separation of the inner wire and outter wrap wire. TRUST ME ON THIS... you will love Daddario EJ16 strings!

V-Picks Guitar Picks, 7 Piece Starter Kit Variety Pack "Clear" Review

I bought the starter kit with an assortment of picks. Overall I like the picks, in particular the grip and feel of the picks. I ended up liking the Large Ultra Lite pick the best and purchased a Ruby Red pick for $4.99. I play acoustic guitar with medium strings and a light attack, so I was very disappointed when the pick split in half after just two weeks of moderate use. When you pay that much for a pick your expectation is that the pick will last a long long time or it is impossible to justify the cost! I did contact V-Picks and they were very nice and replaced the pick free of charge.
