Topic: Greetings...couple of questions for acoustic guitar peformers...

Hey Folks...

Been lurking about for a short while and really dig this site. I especially like the feature that allows you to transpose the chords through the various semitones. Perfect for capo use and finding what works with my voice! So thank you all and especially the guy/gal or folks who are responsible for putting this site together. Fantastic!

Quick background...been playing acoustic for about 25 years...gave away old guitar in 2001. For some reason...I have been inspired. Just bought a Taylor Big Baby to get me back into "shape." Will fork out some $$ later for an acoustic/electric when I am back to my old ways. And with that...I have finally decided its time to go live! I  live on a small resort/tourist island, my voice has matured and at 45...its time to go for it (for fun, not career) Anyway...

I have been researching PA equipment. And found something I gotta have!!

Any of you seen or tried or currently use the Bose L1 system? Ironically, on two different occasions the past couple of weeks, I have witnessed a solo acoustic guitarist and a jazz trio perform with this system and WOW!!!! Incredible sound, light weight and simple!

First question...anyone familiar with this system personally? I ask because they make two models, one at the $1600 level (pretty affordable!) and one at the $2200 level. I know the folks from the jazz trio and they purchased the more expensive model. Not sure which model the soloist had. But I was just curious if anyone hss used it? Man it is incredible!

And...Question 2: What's the best mic to get? Or does it really matter?

Thanks!

Hi hazenk & welcome to chordie!

It is great you are getting back into playing - music makes life even better.

There are 2 chordie forum participants who have recently praised their Bose 41L systems here.  SouthPaw41L (moderator of Guitars & Accessories forum) and gordondc (member) are both very happy with their Bose systems.

Here is a link to that discussion thread:

You can also click on their names next to their postings to contact them personally vie email.

Hope this helps - James
