overwater#1 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I have never used a double bass pickup before believe it or not, as I have only ever done orchestral work. What is this like for tone, and volume? Feedback, interference? Do I just fit this, and plug straight into amp via jack lead? Please could you describe its attributes a bit, and I might be pursuaded to have it. I was prospectively going to be getting a bass with a pickup fitted, but this has now been posponed... Thanks very much for your help! Matt

It gives you the sound of your bass but amplified, I have found it to be really faithful. You just fit it on the bridge, plug the jack into the socket ant there you go - it has no controls so you adjust your sound and volume on your amp.[/quote] Do you just slip it under the wings of your bridge, or do you find you have to wedge it under with wood or something?
overwater#1 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 This is my bridge though, on the bass I am using currently. I am hoping to upgrade soon though... Not sure whether it would work on this bridge?
