Texas Special Strat Pickups

great for strats . the guitar (strat) can stay plugged in on the stand . this stand is very stable! Ihave used these since they were made in Italy years ago (yes I am an old rocker). i have seen a lot of this type product having worked in music stores for years and thes are the best!1

I've used this on pickups from a number of acoustic instruments: violins, mandolins, guitars, etc. It always has a clean sound and the features I need to enhance the quality (if necessary) like a ground/lift switch, impedance switch for the input (instrument/amp) and a filter switch. Plus it's passive so I don't have to worry about phantom power. I love it!

Love the guitar! I especially love the sound of both single coiled pickups. Also the humbucker pickups sound great too!

Really enjoying this for my home studio. Tested by recording an acoustic guitar and it sounds much better than my acoustic pickups.

I originally bought this to mic a cello as the available pickups were unsatisfactory. After a makeshift adaptation of the instrument clip we were getting a nice, rich, warm, full tone right away without even touching the EQ. We've been using this for frequent gigs--weddings, parties etc.--for about 4 or 5 years now and it's still working perfectly. This unit has served us so well at such a great price, I just bought 3 more from B&H to mic the string section of the jazz orchestra.

I mounted this unit in a closet with two BlueRay players. Set up infrared pickups in two rooms using a 3.5mm Y stereo connector. It works beautifully. Wasn't sure it could handle this setup, however couldn't have worked better. I can now control two players in a closet from either room. Sweet little product!

Until now I have used various mics on short mic stands as pickups for my acoustic cello. I had tried various contact mics which tend to give an electronic instrument sound and require attachments which are not convenient. A friend recommended the Shure and I used it first time in performance - straight out of the box. Super satisfied with it. Attaches easily in 5 seconds to the tail piece and with the mic super close to the f hole it was the first time I could actually hear the cello from the speaker system - in fact I had to limit the gain. As a result very low pickup of ambient sounds. Plus no tripod to lug. Less lugging is always better.

I own the 4000HD as well and we needed another. I thought I'd get this to use for shorter, quicker broll pickups. I got it with the wrist brace and it's just like the 4000HD but lighter.

I have used this product for the past several years. I has been a very reliable holder for my iPad Mini. I have used it in cars, pickups and airplanes. It recently broke after a lot of use and possible accidental over extension. I reordered the product because of my satisfaction with it.

Great as a reflector or as diffuser for the harsh texas sun. Love it.
