New Pickup Advice.

Hey All,

Linked to by post in General Discussion about the Sobell I just brought I need a pickup.

I don’t want a magnetic soundhole as I like the look of the Sobell as it is.

I have a split saddle to contend with and I had thought about a K&K Trinity but since they added the voltage limit I am rather put off by them.

The Anthem SL seems to be what I am landing on but, anything else I should consider? I don’t mind having 2 output jacks and running 2 cables.

I have a Dtar Solstice and Headway EDB2 HE so preamps are not a problem.

Is there a way round the K&K Trinity voltage limit?

Haven’t brought a pickup for 4-5 years so what is new and sounds good and available in the UK?

Thanks in advance.

The Seymour Duncan Wavelength is pretty close to the Highlander, if you want to go that route.
If you want the K&K, you can purchase the plain Pure Western Mini (no mic involved) and add a lavalier type mic from Audix, AudioTechnica, DPA ... many choices possible. I like the DPA4061 a lot.

By the way, before you moved the thread, I offered you a Highlander and Trinity mic (old type). Just saying in case this offering got lost. I'm not in the need of selling but wanted to help a fellow AGF.

Do you have or do you know where i can find the wiring instructions to add a mic like the DPA to the K&K?
