I have this guy: http://www.crateamps.com/products/pindex.php?prodID=25 It has one of those brick-sized lead-acid batteries so it has plenty of amps to burn. There is a 'clean' input with a 4-channel eq section. I tried two other battery powered solutions before this one and sent them back. T

I think Wayne is reight that the Mouse amps are no longer available. I had one for a long time and it worked well, although there were not many ways to adjust the sound, like there are now in newer amps. The Mouse had a battery and it could also be plugged in, so it was quite versatile. Now I

I use a lavalier mic. I don't remember the brand. It is attached to a thin piece of wood threaded under the bass strings. This is a trick I learned from someone on this list years ago. << Thanks for the tip! I have a DPA mini mic on a seperate stand in front of the lute, bu

I seem to recall using a piece of wood on top of the bridge, but on the treble side of my 13-course lute. A This had nothing to do with sound or amplification, it did it merely to raise the action of the instrument, as on the first 2 courses, they would buzz. A This was a temporary s

Interesting. I think it might have been Ed Martin who came up with the wood trick. I do the same thing but on the treble side. I guess you get enough treble with it on the bass side. I’m just surprised. I often jam my mic between the wood and soundboard (of course there is foam around the mic) r

So I have the Hog 30, which is very clean with good bass, though nowhere near as loud as a cranked 30 watt tube amp. I have a Sennheiser 441 mic (which is kind of expensive these days) on a nice boom stand which can be adjusted to be about 2.5 feet high, with a cable and a low to high impedance l
