I did speak to Caleb from Baggs and this is perfectly acceptable.

Sounds Great with it back there.. allows me to crank up the true mic more !

I moved mine off the bridgeplate to on the top behind the bridgeplate as you have yours and it does sound a lot better. I can't leave well enough alone so I'm going to try position 3 on the next string change. It's a good thing I have a LOT of tape.

OK thanks for the clarification. Got it.

Cool.. Let us know how it works out and sounds.

Jake, I was going to try position 3 on my SC13e, but there wasn't enough room there either. There is JUST enough room behind the pins on the bridge if you position it perfectly with the round mic part in the middle of the pin holes for strings 3 & 4. But if you found a spot you like behind the bridge, then I would just leave it there. It's funny, because Baggs claims exact positioning of the TrueMic isn't critical, but it seems like it does change the tone.

Jake....do you have any live videos of you recently from any gigs with the SC13e? I would love to compare your tone to what I had with my SC13e/Anthem. You can private message me if you don't want to post any here. I'll send you mine as well.
