For this I gave up the Sunrise S1/SB 1 preamp. I bought my Sunrise in 1994. During that 10 years, I did over 1000 gigs with it, solo, duo, groups. I played with guys that spent serious time effort and money into their rigs. Nothing ever sounded better and most importantly, nothing was as easy or reliable to work with. It outlived several Vintage J-45s, a Guild Jumbo, a Yairi and finally came to rest in a Lowden 10 years ago. In the mean time I got a '55 Gibson C&W. It was just unwilling to wear that 3 pound pickup. So I did an internet search, called and pestered people and took a chance on the K&K. I plugged it into my SansAmp D/I and was amazed. Long story shortened-When I sold the Lowden, I put the Sunrise on eBay, used the money to get my National's neck reset, frets dressed on the Gibson, bought another SansAmp D/I and a K&K PureReso BB for my National. I couldn't be happier unless they gave them away free. I've since moved the Western to a newer Larrivee. I will by from them again. Probably for the upright or my mandolin.
