nugget Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know it sounds a bit crazy but has anyone tried it? The YouTube demos sound pretty good on acoustic guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It would most likely work ok. You would want to check the input impedance of your audio interface to make sure it would be piezo friendly if you are using that sort of pickup. I don't know the benefits of going the i-route as double bass is hard enough to amplify, let alone if it is effected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Looks like you might have to get a bit creative when mounting it as a DB table is a lot thicker than an acoustic soundboard, so clipping it to the f-hole isnt going to be straightforward(or necessarily even a good idea), but it's small and lightweight which would make experimentation with placement easy - small amount of imagnination, couple of bits of foam and a wire coathanger would allow you to place it pretty much anywhere on the bass. You could always buy it, try it and send it back under distance selling regs if it turns out to be rubbish (there is a free version of the companion app but no indication of what features are blocked) - plenty of people on talkbass have reported success using cheap omni lav mics from radio shack, but an approximately equal number have dimissed the same method as unusable, so the only way to find out is try it yourself in whatever situation (live/recording) you intend to use it and let your own ears be the judge. Might be a good idea to read through the thread on the cheap radio shack mic to get some ideas on how people have got this omni lav mic idea to work for live use.

nugget Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've just ordered one, I'll report back in a few days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugget Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Nice and simple review now As expected it's a pile of junk,gonna be sending it back tomorrow. It's so noisy, thin sounding and it sounds a bit fake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 What pickup are you running and did you plug it straight into the i-thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugget Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 The acoustic version comes with a clip on microphone, if the noise was a LOT lower it might have been useful to blend with a piezo which was the original plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
