If anyone can help!

I know it won't be a true DB sound but I reckon it will be better than a schaller and hopefully no feedback!

You want linke this, only with velcro?

edit: ahh, hence the "better than a schaller" comment.

Get a Pierre Josephs Stringcharger,more elegant looking than a Shaller

Bob, I love my Schaller, prefer it to a mic/piezo.
But then I'm not exactly a sophisticated player, so take no notice of me...................who said that???

I've got an old Schaller I don't use. I'll send it to you to try if you like.

[BobVbass]

yeah that's what I use at the mo - great for no feedback but not the most refined sound - hence the idea for a bracket to use EMGs + the schaller rattles worse than my beetle engine. I have bass max a well and use it with a fishman platimun pro (which is excellent) - great sound but feeds back at the volume I need to play at

Is it the pickup bracket that's rattling or the adjustable pole pieces? IF the latter then you can drop some nail varnish on them to keep the rattling to a minimum.

I couldn't stop the Schaller rattling when I tried it in my ply bass. I have got a custom made Kent Armstrong magnetic I'd be happy to sell. Was originally fitted to my Clifton EUB, but I took it off years ago because it sounded like a huge Pbass (as all mags tend to, I guess?).

Its designed to fit a "standard" 3/4 bass fingerboard, and mounts with a single screw, two other screws that fit into holes as anchors and a rubber gasket that doubles as a template. Connection is a single phono socket. I'll take some pics if anyone is interested....

I'd be interested in some pics, I'm looking at another neck pup for my ply bass to mix with the piezo. Like the idea of another Schaller, but yours sounds interesting.

Is [url="http://www.doublebassguide.com/?p=40"]this[/url] what you're after?

[BobVbass]

yes that sort of thing except with a volume and tone (these chaps are out of business now tho) I've got a kent armstrong around here somewhere as well although its in a bit of a state! haven't tried it yet!

[BobVbass]

came across this - it looks excellent - anyone tried one?
