Burns-bass Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I’ve got one of these: https://www.krivopickups.com/store/p6/The_Legendary_Krivo_Pickup_for_Upright_Bass..html It’s like the Schaller pickup but better made and better sounding. The guy also shapes it (within boundaries) you your DBs board. I’m 100% happy with mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I had mine made to order but you can buy them off the shelf https://www.thomann.de/gb/krivo_pickup_for_upright_bass.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Thanks, but for £235 there's a fair amount of choice out there. 😂 I like the sound of the 411 fitted to my Kolstein, and they used to sell for c.£120 new. I'd quite like to source a spare for non-silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m off to see some DB people so I’ll ask if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I also have had a couple of Krivo pickups in my time. Really good sound quality, pretty authentic DB rather than fretless bass. I thought they were really good but sold due to switch to hybrid and gut strings. Going back some years, but I found them the best way to avoid feedback with steel containing strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Outstanding work, Pete. Not only had i not seen it, but it didn't even bloody come up in my saved eBay Search which was supposed to alert me the second something like this was posted! I owe you lunch. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
