AmoahsDrum Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hey Y'all, Unfortunately, I have to replace the electronics in my 2001 Kinal MK-5 fretless 5 string bass (don't ask, just trying to make lemons 2 lemonade...). I have always loved the 'acoustic' sound I get when practicing without an amp. So, I am searching for pickups that will get me as close as I can to the natural sound I get playing unamplified. I had 2 active Basslines Jazz pickups and a preamp in it. Please advise. Thanks! Peace and blessings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Not the cheapest option but a piezo bridge is probably top of the list, can blend it with your normal pickups but you'll need a buffer preamp too. Could be quite costly if you need to replace the original electronics at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoahsDrum Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks! I think I'm going to have to do it in phases, pickups first then the piezo. Peace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
