Default Anyone using the K&K Resonator pickups?

http://kksound.com/products/pureresonator.php

I'd like a pickup for my Tricone.

It's so hard to get a good sound on gigs with a microphone and it'd be so much easier to just plug it in.

never tried it but K&K makes superior pickups. I'm sure it would be great.

I use this on my National Estralita. I am quite pleased with it.

I dont think that pickup will work on a tricone, it is only for a biscuit bridge. The national slimline pickup works pretty well but its hard to really capture the full sound of a tricone without a mic. IMHO

Telepicker is right, you can't use this pickup with a Tricone, here's what I use... http://highlanderpickups.com/catalog/magno.htm I don't think there's a better pickup for catching the complex harmonics of the tricone than this.

You can also use a stick on pickup by Lace, National, or Flatbucker (in order of expense)!

Many thanks! I'll take a look at the highlander and, hopefully, a listen.
