    • A great solution (finally) to banjo pickups
Style: Banjo Pickup
Excellent pickup! So much better than the K&k banjo twin, which made my $2,000+ banjo sound like a $50 banjo. Pair this with a Fishman Platinum DI or L.R. Baggs & you have a banjo pick that makes your acoustic instrument sound like one, even in large venues. If you are a real banjo enthusiast and have some common sense, its really not difficult to install. You can find the instruction for installation online. Great pickup! ... show more

    • Authentically captures the natural sound of my banjo
Style: Banjo Pickup
This pickup authentically reproduces the sound of my Flatiron Sweetgrass five-string banjo without making it sound like an electric guitar. It's nice to hear the banjo amplified and stay true to its sound. There are no installation instructions included in the box. You need to go to Fishman's website and search for banjo pickups. The installation instructions there are sufficient, although they do not exactly replicate the hardware that comes with the pickup. You will NEED a soldering iron to finish the installation. In Fishman's defense, they do suggest a professional installation. All in all, I am happy with the finished product. ... show more

    • Amazon Backed the product
Style: Banjo Pickup
When I gave the Fishman pickup to my luthier, he installed it and the unit did not work!!! Fishman told us to return it to the retailer, which I did following a phone call to Amazon. They sent me a new one immediately and gave me a shipping label to return the non working one, which I was real happy about. The pickup sounds great!! Definitely picks up the "banjo" sound which has been confirmed by several listeners, while playing out. I like it so much I bought a second one to replace an older pickup in another banjo. Pick on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... show more

    • not at all worth the money
Style: Banjo Pickup
I got this Banjo pick up in August 2024 for my birthday and it has been nothing but trouble. The wiring that connects to the jack constantly shorts out and stops working. I've had a luthier install it and then fix it and within a week it did it again. On top of that, it doesn't even work well with my banjo, It basically only picks up the 3rd and 4th strings which drown out any of the other strings. It sounded like garbage the one time i played it live and sounds like garbage in the recording studio . Considering I've owned it 6 weeks, used it once and in the first week it was installed and it crapped out...I'd love to get my money back. Needless to say, don't bother. I've used the KNA pickup on 3 different banjos and it works well. Sounds good recording and their customer service and tech support is better. ... show more

    • Bracket does not fit Gold Tone OB-3 Twanger.
Style: Banjo Pickup
This is by far the best sounding banjo pickup that I have heard in person. However, mounting it was a complete nightmare that took me nearly 8 hours and 4 trips to a hardware store. The offset washers that come with it, along with the curved bracket will not fit a Gold Tone OB-3 banjo. I would definitely buy this pickup again. But, knowing what I know now, I would have ordered the jack bracket from Gold Tone that fits their SMP+ pickup model. Talking to an experienced banjo player, I found out that you cannot replace the jack itself with a Gold Tone jack, because it will drain the battery really fast. The bracket that mounts the Gold Tone pickup jack looks like it would fit the Fishman jack perfectly, so all you would need from Gold Tone is the bracket. Without having a proper bracket, I had to improvise by stacking different sizes of washers, and my end result is still not ideal. I was also told by a luthier that he has had to resort to using zip ties to make this fit a Gold Tone banjo. ... show more

    • Very good choice for banjo amplification
Style: Banjo Pickup
I've always just played acoustic instruments, but I've got a performance coming up and need to be able to amplify my banjo. I asked a professional banjo playing friend for his advice and he recommended this Fishman banjo pickup. I was hoping to be able to install it myself, but when they say they recommend professional installation, they're not kidding - it was beyond the scope of my knowledge and the tools I have, so I had it done at a local shop. Anyway, it sounds great. ... show more

    • This Pickup is for 5 STRING BANJOS ONLY
Style: Banjo Pickup
Fishman pickups and amplifiers are the best acoustic instrument accoutrements on the market. However this particular product/ Pickup application can BE VERY MISLEADING. I have a GOLD TONE GT 6-Six string banjo and was attempting to upgrade its pickup system to make the banjo more PA system friendly. My luthier informed me that this pickup, ADVERTISED AS ACCOMMODATING AND COMPATIBLE WITH ALL OPEN AND RESONATOR STYLE BANJO'S, Could not be installed in my Banjo without massive modifications. I sent this pickup back to Amazon to return to Fishman. So please be informed if you have a six string Banjo the only Pickup that will work is the Goldtone magnetic wide width, no preamp style pickup. I reiterate. THIS PICKUP IS FOR 5 STRING BANJO'S ONLY !!!!!! ... show more

    • I've heard great things
Style: Banjo Pickup
My friend had this pick up in his banjo, and it sounds amazing. The quality is spot on. It just did not fit in my Gold Tone Cripple Creek Plectrum banjo. It is a bulky pick up but worth it if it fits in yours (it fits in most banjos). Also customer service was EXCELLENT about dealing with my return. Highly recommended. ... show more
