5 string pickup

[TPJ]

I'm adding a different bridge to my 5 string EUB and am wondering what may be a good choice for a pickup. Anybody playing a 5'er amplified?

My first thoughts are a BassMax as I need a big sound but not necessarily authentic DB, second choice is one of those "No Nonsense" realist type pups on ebay. The EUB is a BSX Allegro and the new bridge is temporary while the original gets fixed.

i have used a realist on my 5 string double bass (not eub) for 10 years and have always been happy...

I have the K&K Sound Double Big Twin Upright Bass 5 string pick up and, with a Fishman Plat Pro, it sounds great. And you fit it without any modifications to the bridge.
