Is The PICKUP All That Matters?
You don't have to go digging too deep on the internet to find debates about whether "tonewood" is a thing or not.
On one extreme end are of people who believe that the pickup is the only thing that matters. You could put a given pickup on a slab of cheese and it'll sound just like a handcrafted instrument made out of the finest piece of maple.
On the other end are people who think that the composition of the instrument body is INCREDIBLY important to the sound of the instrument.
Well, there's one way to know for sure. Let's go into the lab and find out for ourselves.
We play 5 different violins, all with Starfish pickups. Now, Starfish pickups are handmade and there's bound to be a small amount of variability from pickup to pickup. And Matt isn't a machine. He's going to sound a little different each time he plays. But we've done what we can to minimize the variables. All of these clips were recorded within 30 minutes into the exact same signal path with the same bow.
You be the judge. Does the instrument body matter?

    Coming from the classical world, where you can easily pay $20K and up (way, way up), for a good instrument, I was delighted to discover that a high-end electric fiddle is like, $6K, and you can a good instrument for much less.

    If you’re new to electric violin, like me, you’ll soon discover that most of the electronic contraptions are designed for guitar. So, I’m reading a book called “Guitar Pedals: Mastering Guitar Effects”, by Rob Thorpe; I’m finding it very helpful. it’s also just plain fun to buy a couple of gizmos and fool around with them. Like Matt says, just turn the knobs and see what happens. I may be a noob, but I will offer this advice: do this when your wife’s not around. or your dog. or actually, any living creature with ears.

    Also, 2nd is harder to understand and practice bc the melody is often lost. So like you say you learn to make the harmonization work.
