What we are all wondering is if you play it very loud and in front of the speakers, does it go into uncontrollable howl?
You can test this at home if you have a powerful amp and don't live next door to a police station or an old man with a shotgun. Place the oud right in
front of the speaker, turn up the amp to 10 or 11, and play a bit before the armed forces arrive. If you have an oud with a normal pickup, confirm
that your amp setup drives the normal oud into howl, i.e. that it's loud enough to simulate live playing on stage, then try the new electric. You
should be able to play it much louder without howl.
After you deal with the collateral damage, the lynch mob and your injuries, and return home, replace any windows that have cracked, as they will tend
to fall out during the next windstorm anyway.
THAT is the question. |
