Customer Review Summary
Myers Pickups The Grip Plus-6 with Bass Ext offers a mixed experience for users. On one hand, the device provides a quick and easy setup, making it suitable for live performances. The sound quality from the two microphones on the treble side is commendable, delivering a realistic tone that can be effectively processed.
However, several issues have been highlighted. The battery replacement process is cumbersome, requiring the device to be unscrewed, which poses a risk of damaging fragile cables. Users have noted that the suction cup is not very reliable, especially with heavier standard cables, and the absence of a scale indicator on the potentiometer makes it difficult to consistently set the pre-amplification levels.
Furthermore, the bass microphone has received criticism for its sound quality, being described as muffled and lacking in clarity, which diminishes its usability in various settings. The supplied carrying case is deemed inadequate for the bass cable, making transport challenging.
Despite these drawbacks, the product serves its intended purpose well, particularly in theatrical performances where it complements direct sound effectively. Users have successfully modified their setups, such as replacing stiff cables and employing magnets for better stability. Overall, while the Grip Plus-6 has limitations, it remains a practical option for those seeking a straightforward amplification system for their accordion.
