"Mediocre at best"

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i cant use it.
Sound
Nasally, and sensitive to pickup placement. just sounds boingy--all strings, no bass body tone.
Features
The pinch-clamps are too much guesswork. too tight vs. not tight enough is anyones guess.
Quality
fishman may have had a winner 15 years ago, but the technology is passe. but like all fishman stuff, the build quality is great.
Value
there are better for less. $99 gets you a Revolution One or a K&K. these pickups are MUCH better.
Manufacturer Support
email only, phonecalls get voicemail.
The Wow Factor
in its day it did. i would give it a 1 except that it is still useable in some situations and it doesnt feed back at high levels.
