Pickups/Amps
Hey hey I'm looking into getting
a pickup and amp for my cello. What brand of pickups would be good
for someone who wants to buy in the $100-$200 (Canadian)range? Also,
what kind of amp? Would I use a guitar amp, bass or keyboard? Or
something totally different?? This is my first time getting a
pickup set up on my cello so I have no clue what to look
for!
Help! -Paul

I don't
know from personal experience, but...
I remember noticing that Erik
Friedlander had fairly extensive info on his site, both what he uses
& stuff pulled from usenet discussions: www.erikfriedlander.com/livesound.htm

bass
amp and gage
I have a friend who playing in a lot
of professional bands and she uses the Gage pickup, which fits under
the foot of the bridge (not good if you have a delicate cello,
though) and says it's hands down the BEST. But on her fancy, Italian
cello she uses a Fishman with a really expensive
"pre-amp".
I've tried and liked Barcus-Barry (sp?), which
clamps on the bridge.
