Fishman Aura. 6th string is much louder

Postby Lentin » 18 Dec 2009, 23:51

Hi, experts
In the new Avalon I've got Fishman Aura installed.
I never plug it but this evening I was making some tests.
I plugged it directly to mu PC (mic entry), using the Windows Vista software.
It does not sound bad but the 6th string sounds much much louder than the rest.
I use to play with my fingers, no any kind of pick, and it's impossible.
I have played with the two or three controls in the Fishman, but no way.
Any suggestion?

I could be the balance is off on the under saddle pickups,
if you've removed all strings at once you might have allowed
the saddles to move causing the unbalanced response.

Gently tapping the saddles whilst at full string tension should
help sort the problem.

Also make sure no foreign objects have got in between the
pickup and bottom of the saddles which would also cause
balance problems.

Hope this helps.

Hi, JB.
As always, thanks for your response.
I have not changed strings yet (the set is now 2 months) but I'll do this week.
I have gently tapped the saddles just in case.
I'm starting to think it's more a Windows Vista equalizer issue.
I`ll test it by tomorrow (if my dentist let me alive) evening with a ZoomH2 recorder.
I'll keep you informed.
Again, many thanks.
