I just came from a gig for a consulate's dinner party with like 30
guests. What a HORRIBLE performance!

First *** is the speaker. I asked them to provide the speaker if they
have and they did. The stupid thing was I forgot to ask if the speaker
was for eletronic instruments; and too bad, 99% of people's speaker is
mostly for eletronic instruments, not for accoustic's like ours! So
there I was producing sounds that I myself hated to hear!

When was the last time you play in public and just hate the sound you
produce? I just did that! The electronic sh!t made my guitar echoed
with wang-wang wing-wing sound that just killed my own appetitte!
Playing this way, of course we lose control over the sound! My tone
production was so unconvincing, 'cause I just didn't know what to
expect if I played that louder or with metalic sound or whatever. The
hours of preparation is gone away with that bad speaker.

Being a classically trained player means that we keep on giving
ourselves instantenous feed back as we are producing or making the
music. So there I was, making music with my brain kept on criticizing
my unconvincing & bad tone production for 2.5 hours! It was just like
in hell! I just didn't feel good at all!

Luckily that was just a dinner event. So I just played the notes
cleanly like a music box. Unconvincing and meaningless, but still a
nice noise to the listeners. Well, at least that was what they said
anyway! I was lucky they were all diplomats with diplomatic
tactfulness.

Learning from this, I swear to God never again to play without my own
Pignose! It's really worth the hassle to bring my pignose around
rather than going home feeling like ***!

I may have missed this bit - do you use a pickup or microphone? If
it's a pickup, is it an under saddle or soundboard transducer.

Anybody here spring for the Schertler DYN-G at $450.00? Looks like a
good alternative to a microphone.
