sorry if I offended you JB just tryin to help you out. Didn't mean at all that you make the violin sound like a turd. I've made that mistake before thats why I mentioned it. Be careful with those Baggs, if you get the one where the pickup is built into the bridge then the bridge has to be cut for the specific violin you put it on. Meaning chances are it won't fit on another violin the way it should. Its kind of a one time deal. Just food for thought.
