Hello,
I've just recieved the Bespoke Basses Superlight that I bought from slobluesine and must admit, I'm pretty impressed after the initial couple of hours I have spent with it. It's exceeded all expectations so far.
At the moment, it has a Kent Armstrong mag pup (that I want to retain) but I would also like to try a piezo pup.
I'm totally new to upright so please bear with me! As this doesnt have a sound box, do I need to look at special piezo pups or could I use a Shadow SH950 or SH965 NFX?
Would it be best to use a bridge mounted pup or something that goes under the feet of the bridge?
Actually, thinking about it - will the piezo give me a different tone to the mag anyway?
I suppose it boils down to the fact that I'm unsure of how piezo pups work - does the fundamental difference between my Superlight and a 'real' upright make a difference to pup choice or doesnt the sound box have a role to play if going through a pup?
Thank you and sorry for this 'brain dump' post!
Chris
