I have a NS Design amber wav violin. It's awesome. The only difference between it and the CR series is that the CR series are made inthe Czech Republic and have active eq built in. Those cost $2400. The wav violin has the same identical body shape and finish, are made in China and have passive electronics (no EQ) - only a volume knob and a treble cut off knob. I highly recommend the wav violin for only $600. Save yourself $1800 and spend that on a really good amp and some effects. I get a lot of compliments on it and people always seem to be drawn to it - plus a lot of pros play on them too.

I play a five-string Zeta and love it. I also have a LR Bagg's bridge with a built-in pick-up on my acoustic, which might be a good place to start. Funny, I've been playing Celtic and rock and roll, and am now getting back into classical.... Cat

Yea, there's so many choices and all so expensive so I don't want to jump in and get something i'd regret. I just picked up a prof digital camera this weekend on impluse, so I might have to delay the electric violin for a little bit. Thank you guys!

Hi Miss, I started in '79 with a cheap fiddle and a Barcus-Berry bridge. '84 I could afford a red B.-B. violin. In '89 I added a cheap viola (B.-B. bridge) to the collection. Amps: A mid 70ies VOX AC 30, a 15 Watts 60ies Dynacord MV15 + Hughes & Kettner Attax 112 cabinet, last speaker sometimes connected to a custom made 100 Watts tube amp, a 1979 Barcus Berry XL 24 (transistor) amp, an Acoustic G20-110 (transistor) amp. 2001 I had a job as stage musician, had to play prologue classically acoustic, main dance theatre electric and epilogue acoustic. The B.-B. bridge unfortunately muted my fine traditional instrument slightly – the musical director said no. I couldn't change instruments (twice wireless: voice and fiddle). So I bought the Bowtronics magnetic PU, that's glued to the end of the fingerboard. That was an emergency measure – the PU is not adjustible. After that experience I started to develop an own magnetic PU with audio technician Manfred Reckmeyer (like me of Bremen, Germany). Now everything is perfect. Our baby is called REBO: http://www.uli-boesking.de/rebo/ Last summer I have bought a solidbody on Ebay. Fine flamed maple quality scroll, neck and body, fine ebony on fingerboard, chinrest and tailpiece. It's a chinese Zeta SV 24 copy. Forget the original pickup and the strings, you have to replace them. Pickup is the corean under-the-bridge piezo thing used on almost every cheap E-violin. We modified the electronics, installed our REBO and added a preamp. In menu gallery you'll find JPGs of this blue Solidbody. In menu Sound Samples there are among others MP3s of this instrument. If you want to know more of my musical (piezo) past, click on http://www.uli-boesking.de/verg.htm and http://www.uli-boesking.de/dosulises/u_dos7.htm Best wishes Uli

Hey everyone! I was suprised to stumble onto this site yesterday, seems like electric violinists are a rare breed. I'm looking into getting one but I'd like some opinions on what you own, and what you recommend. I'm trying to kick the classical habit and re-train myself to play/record for jazzy, funky house music and possibly some hip hop. Best Wishes! Jamie www.misschula.com
