thebigyin Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi Folks apologies for the constant questions but as some of you are aware i'm new to the world of Double Bass although I played Electric Bass for many years. I had a Shadow pick up fitted to a Acoustic Guitar kicking around somewhere would this be suitable to use with the Upright just wondering because if I can find it might save me a few quid buying a new one.Not sure of the actual model as it came fitted to the Guitar which as since been sold but i'm sure i kept the p/u thanks in advance cheers Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If its a stick on one cgances are it wont be much use.as a rule piezo p/ups work best on dbs when they are under pressure being slightly squashed, either in the wing slot of the bridge or under the foot. Shadow make a dedicated double bass pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blartfactor10 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yes to the J-Tone, cheap and every bit as good as the KnK Bassmax. (Better made IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
