Floyd.... One individual in another group commented that I should try using a stereo setup with the pick-up in one channel and a condenser mic on the other side and combine them. With my interface and Sonar, i can assign the two inputs each to it's own individual track for better after the fact processing.

I'll try that and see what happens. I'll keep you and everyone else here posted on the results.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
