That sounds really good! Any more info about your setup? I can't find too much info about the K&K thin twin?

always wanted to try a flatpup but never have!

Run a separate clean signal (possibly from a different source) and blend 'em?
Also, way too complicated, but very interesting:

I have it in a 90s applause (ovation) short scale bass strung with classical contrabass guitar strings, the stock pickup was a under saddle piezo the was very weak and horrible. I've had the same pickup on my cello with and external style jack mounted to the tailpiece for a few years and was happy with that so I got another for this. You don't need a preamp with it, I run it into my board all the time, it's as loud as a magnetic sound hole pickup but without the noise, hum, cord in your way, and gives you a bit more of a full spectrum "acoustic" sound not saying I don't like sound hole pickups, I have a few Duncan's I use sometimes. The only issue I could see is if you want a internal pickup setup if you don't want to put holes in your guitar....

I recall it being balls expensive because I figured that I should sound good while raking in the wedding dollars. Wedding was good. Gig was good. Fucking hated every second of it and haven't done one since
If you want to try it out hit me up - it's definitely not getting used for any more wedding gigs.

I'm seeking opinions on the merits of electrifying my acoustic vs getting a dedicated a/e. My acoustic is a great Westerly Guild, and my a/e is an Ibanez that sounds decent going through my board, but not so hot on its own. Ideally I'd like to have one guitar for both purposes.
All the Ibanez really has going for it is the cutaway and electronics (EQ etc) (plus it's pretty to look at). And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't miss the cutaway THAT much. I don't think I can afford an a/e of the quality I'd like. But I'm wondering: pros/cons of either approach?

---------abrupt thought change----------
And about distortion here is a good example of what a acoustic (ibanez bass) can do with a Dwarfcraft great destroyer (after the ukulele intro that is)
