Compared to my other 12 strings 1866 it sounds extremely metallic and bright, with very little or no low end. Do you guys think there's a problem with the pickup? Or maybe with the preamp? Or is this really the sound of the Pacemaker?

You're description pretty much sums up my experiences. I'll bet it's just the Pacemaker Damon67 Posted 2014-09-21 4:39 PM (#494343 - in reply to #494338) Subject: Re: 1615 pacemaker 12 strings too bright Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6994 Location: Jet City Alberto, I was going to grant you access and accidentally banned you.

I really hope it's not the sound of the pacemaker, otherwise either I will upgrade pickup and preamp (If possible) or sell it.... Thanks again Alberto
