    Hello from Italy
    I’m thinking ti buy a magnetic pickup for my fs830 .
    I have search on web and I read that some pickup , like famous and used Fishman in all their models, are tuned for bronze and phophore bronze .
    Here there is the problem.
    This pickup don’t work well or don’t work not at all with Monel-nickel strings or hybrid strings as Thomastik plectrum (bronze flatwounds (A, D, G) with bronze roundwound low E, and silk inlays ; high E and B plain steel, brass plated)
    Exist a pickup that works well with all type of string ?
    De Armond tone boss , for example, do this ?
    Other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    If it were me, I would choose the magnetic pickup with the best reviews then, after choosing the pickup, choose the strings that work best with it.
