Everyone has gotten used to that.
The natural frequency response of the unamplified acoustic guitar is long-forgotten or ignored.
The Lyric is relatively accurate so people miss that artificially-boosted bass they've become accustomed to.
It is common for people, who finally hear truly flat mics or speakers, to say "Dude, that sounds like crap. Uh, man, it doesn't kick me in the chest with thundering bass like my $39 gear does. What a rip off." |
This is the nature of piezos, which everyone has known for generations. There are many fine eq's on the market for not a lot of $$$$ that can smooth that out. The Baggs systems are superb and highly regarded by almost everyone in the industry. They frequently appear on Martin, Gibson and other legendary guitars. They don't install crap.
I've played them all -- B-Band, Trance Amulet, Fishman, you name it -- and Baggs owes no apology to any of them. If you look at their list of artists, these are serious players who want an acoustic guitar to sound wooden and accurate.
