On the hunt for an Underwood pickup

[PaulKing]

Keep trying alternatives, never quite happy. Anyone got one they want to get rid of?

Meanwhile I'm going to try cutting off an element, like what they tell you not to do ... but I got nothing to lose as ones giving up anyway.

Have you tried the Shadow 950 by any chance? I have the single side 951 and find it's great for my needs. Much less prone to feedback and sounds better than the Realist I used to have.

Thanks Miles - yep I've got a 950, it's pretty much identical to the Underwood, but not exactly.

At least that's what my head tells me. I just find it easier to dial in tone with the Underwood.

The KN-1 is surprisingly good too. I might give that another go at some point. Crystal clear and warm. Didnt really road test it fully before and I think I got it to feed back. Needs fiddling with.
