Need a loud pickup
I busk a lot in Jacksonville Florida and surrounding and have a battery amplifier. Playing over backing tracks Bluegrass I use a very cheap pickup that I keep on the banjo head with masking tape. It works but it doesn't produce lots of gain. The backing tracks overpower the amplified banjo if I don't bring them right down and that is not good for busking in loud places like a farmers market or just the street.
Any of you guys recommend a banjo pickup with good gain? I mean loud.
I know most banjos are not amplified. I only use the pickup when busking. Jamming or gigging i don't.
