Need tips for my new electric violin

TheViolinist · 04-07-2008, 03:30 PM

Hi
I've just bought a Bridge electric, along with an an aer amp costing 7 or 8 k each. The violin owns, but there are some things I don't know how to handle:

One thing is that no matter how gently I play, you can clearly hear the sound of the bow hitting the string. You can even hear my fingers when I press them down!

The second thing is that the sound is very coldish. Is this just the way el-violins are supposed to sound like? If that is the case, what pedals, or stuff like that are there, that can ""spice" up the sound?

Thanks in advance
