Guitar Players – Always have a backup!
Written by Bill on July 30, 2009 – 6:13 pm -
I can’t count the number of times I’ve been getting ready to start a show and something either blows up or quits working. Simply put, always try to have two of everything. Extra cables, battery’s, strings, picks etc. Depending on how elaborate your rig, try to have a backup preamp for the guitar. If you have an internal preamp already in the guitar consider purchasing a magnetic soundhole pickup. There are many affordable models out there. If your internal system goes out you can pop in the soundhole pickup and at least get through the gig. I use a pendulum sps-1 which many consider to be the ‘holy grail’ when it comes to acoustic amplification. Even these high end pieces of gear have their problems. I recently purchased a Highlander PAMDI which is very similar to the pendulum but is small enought o fit in the accessory compartment of the guitar case.
