Krivo magnetic pickup * SOLD *
£110


Recommended Posts

These have the reputation as one of the best and woodiest sounding mag pickups for DB. I only bought it a month or so ago for a belt-and-braces approach to amplifying my downsized Kolstein travel bass but have since found an Underwood works beautifully. Hence I am moving this on. It came from Gollihur's in the US and cost me about £150 or so including import duty and delivery but will let it go for £110 posted as the buyer will need to get some 3M Dual Lock tape to attach to the end of their bass fingerboard (I used it all and it's not reusable). Should set you back less than a tenner on Amazon.

This is ideal for playing at very high volumes and the microphonic design means it picks up fingerboard noise too so it's favored by rockabilly types as well as loud bands

Here is quite frankly a very scary video of a man playing one!

Here is a glowing review of a Krivo pickup on TalkBass, by way of a bump

Sorry I've not tried the Schaller but they don't have the highest reputation (even if they are stalwarts of the scene for decades). The Krivo is supposedly the best (which is why I got it!) along with the harder-to-find Biesele and Pierre Josephs String Charger pickups. Here in the UK, a lot of people like the Kent Armstrong mag pickup

Should Beedster change his mind, you will be first to know!

I bought a Schaller from this very forum. I have found it really very good - Peavey Tour 700 and Barefaced Dubster used at some volume. Sounds good to me and no feedback issues. I constructed a plywood fingerboard extension that is clipped onto the fingerboard with cable ties. The Schaller is screwed into that rather than risk fingerboard damage / issues. YMMV.
