TPJ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I can't seem to get onto the Innovation website (www.innovationstrings.com). Looks to me like Picato took them over or something?? Anyway, I'm trying to find out if Innovation Honey's have enough metal content to use a magnetic pickup. If not, it looks like Corelli's are ok to use. I want to try the mic with a magnetic pup just to see the difference. If anyone can offer insight into the Honey's, that'd be great.

BassBod Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I think they've always been made by Picato. I've used them with a mag pickup, no problem (except I don't like mag pickups). BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't normally use a mag pickup but curiosity has the better of me and I'm wondering how it would mix with a mic, say 2/3 mic 1/3 mag pup. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Magnetic pickups can be good in really loud situations, but to me they just sound too much like a bass guitar. I've used a Kent Armstrong and tried a Schaller (mounting was terrible...rattled very badly) neither was the sound I wanted. Watch out for phase issues if you're mixing pickups - if they cancel each other out rather than reinforce, you've got a problem Good luck!
