scandaldallas Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi folks, I have a shertler blue stick (99% sure that is the right name) pickup system in my Freshman Jumbo. It doesn't work and last time I tried to use it at drummonds into a DI box then the PA it just buzzed and squeled and the sound man could not tame it. I checked freshman's website and they state that the battery it comes with it has a long life expectancy so I doubt it's that. I have had the guitar for about 18 months and as I don't do many acoustic gigs I am pretty unfamiliar with the nuances of the system, and I don;t have an acoustic amp to play with at home but clearly it needs attention!Any ideas?I know R&b stock these but I didn't get mine from there. That's right I bought it online and can't even recall the name of the retailer I got it from! Need it sorted before Oxjam!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Worth changing the battery to be sure that's not the problem surely.18 months is quite a while, depending on how often you have used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scandaldallas Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Indeed, however I have only used it plugged in for a combined total of about 3 hours max in that time, as I don;t have an acoustic amp and seldom do acoustic gigs.
