I know everyone likes to talk about the players that have good direct
sounds but that wasn't the point of the post. It wasn't "Why can't
anyone get a good direct acoustic guitar sound?".
And that's EXACTLY what you have to addess in answer to that question..
Because the QUESTION itself is WRONG... You CAN get that sound!
It's real answer is WHY DOESN:T IT HAPPEN THEN?
It was why do nearly
all acoustic guitars have that same ****ty direct sound when you pay
$50 to hear your favorite band?"
Because they sell
I'm not talking about the Hedges' of
the world who play acoustic based, even solo music, and come to the
show with their own pickup systems. I'm talking about going to see a
band you love, paying huge money, and that's the sound and you have to
deal with it.
Nobody walks to the gate 15 minutes in and dmeands their money back...
When you DO that, the word will get to the top.
Until then, if it's not worth your trouble to walk, They Win woith whatever
they hand yuou.
Dylan live: rubber bands. Springsteen live: rubber
bands. One of my favorites, Nanci Griffith: a guitar sound you
practically can't listen to.
See previous answer a few lines up
Dude, just stick a goddamn mic in front
of it. It sounds ****ing like rubber bands. Next year. Same thing.
This is 90% of the acoustic guitars live and on TV/videos. I know
Tony Rice doesn't have this problem, but I can't limit my live concerts
to Tony Rice shows.
But you CAN put your money where your mouth is.. If you can;t do that..
Don;t bitch and eat your gruel quietly
