Well after trying a ton of setups including some that were mentioned I have found something that works great for me and my set up. I play in a band and also do the odd acoustic show and my main guitar is a Larrivee. For me the best combo was a B-band UST pickup paired with a Tonebone PZ pre. Does it sound exactly like the guitar unplugged? No but it sounds good to my ears and usually anyone who is listening.
The set up durable. I have tons of control to EQ as I wish before it gets to the sound man and has all the features I need. On the same guitar the K&K never really did it for me, neither did a variety of Fishmans or and M-80.
I am a happy chappy. That said, I think people need realistic expectations that there lies a difference between playing a guitar in your living room, the recording studio and in a live setting.
My two cents.
