stingrayPete1977 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Hi I know this is a wanted add but I thought it would be more likely to get seen here? I am after a piezo pickup of some kind and probably something like a Fishman Platinum pro preamp, I am open to suggestions of whatever versions someone might have that they want to sell, my lack of skills will be more of an issue than the make of piezo for now, Thanks folks let me know Edited March 9, 2013 by stingrayPete1977
TheRev Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Have you looked at the Superior Bassworks website? http://www.superiorbassworks.com/cat693785_1201261.aspx Their Billy pickups and preamp are pretty cheap.
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 I have just bought a cheap piezo now very similar actually, waiting to see how that sounds to start with, preamp next if needed then a better piezo I think?
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 I have just seen that and thumperbob wants it already! I am going to try the J Tone I have fitted for now so I think I will be after a Fishman preamp more than the pickup for now Anyone selling a used Fishman?
PaulDB Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 http://www.fishman.com/products/filter/type:pickups/instrument:upright-bass See above. I can't sell you mine as I'm using it, but I played in a folk/roots band for six years with one of the dual piezo fishman jobs. I also bought a fishman preamp at the time, but after a few shows found that it was unnecessary and actually caused a bit of an issue for sound guys. You can't go wrong with dual piezo pickup and a DI straight into a decent PA. If you have an adjustable bridge I have also heard good things about the other pickup on this page. Good luck.

[/quote] Try one of those Art Tube MP preamps. There's no eq on it but it does have a phase button...and they go cheap 2nd hand.
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 I have fitted the J tone properly now and purchased an Artec EQ pedal, so far so good but I need more time to fiddle with it all
