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 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....

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!

'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.

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!
