Clarky Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I lent my spare piezo pickup, a Revolution Solo [url="http://www.uptonbass.com/Double-Bass-Pickup-Revolution-SOLO-II-RS2/"]http://www.uptonbass...on-SOLO-II-RS2/[/url] , to another BCer for six months or so and got it back last week. I had forgotten that its too large to fit the wings on my Kolstein travel bass ... and I don't fancy shaving the wood casing down. However I do want a back-up piezo wing pickup in case of problems with my Ehrlund contact pickup. So ... 1. I can offer a Revolution Solo pickup as a trade for a BassMax or Shadow SH950 2. Or failing that I would like to buy one of the aforementioned, if someone has a spare Unfortunately time is of the essence as we have rehearsals next week for our album launch gig on 8th July and I would like to test the backup pickup in a band environment. I will have to buy new if I can't sort a deal with a BCer quickly (ie, today!) Edited June 27, 2013 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Last call or I will have to place an order for a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've just taken a bass max off my Hungarian and fitted a full circle so might be able to swap. Just need to make sure the full circle is right. Having said that I can't take it off now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi Keith, that would be great - assuming the FC is right for your bass. Are you sure you want a Rev Solo in place of Bass Max as spare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just tried the F.C. It sounds great but I'm not sure if I dare take it to gig tonight, I've just fitted the weichs and the tuning may not be stable for a day or two. Can swap for the Upton if you like, I know that sounds ok on that bass anyway. Must grab a shower and get ready for gig. Laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thats great, thanks Keith I have a FC on my flatback and its very good live, especially at higher volumes. I have an Ehrlund on my Kolstein which sounds very microphone-like and hasn't let me down on a gig or rehearsal yet - but our album launch gig is too important not to have a backup pickup!
