Pending Schertler Stat B pickup and preamp. - *SOLD* £90 Somerset/London

[Richard Jinman]

Acquired secondhand on here as part of my quest for the ultimate amplified DB sound, but left languishing when I decided that for me at least a simple Realist was sufficient. At the height of my love affair with the Schertler I went all in buying - direct from Switzerland - ruinously expensive accessories including a belt clip, the bridge clamp and a brand new cork for the business end of the pup. The preamp has obvious signs of wear on its surface (see pics) but otherwise this fiendishly sophisticated bit of kit is good to go. Imagine the fun you’ll have shaping the cork to your own spec, the gasps of admiration from band mates when they see the preamp attached to your belt. 
 

How would I describe the sound of the Stat B? Good question. Compared to a realist it’s definitely more DB-like. You can hear string noise etc, but unlike a mic you’re not going to pick up (pun intended) other instruments or trigger a gale of feedback. So yeah, very attenuated, but ultimately not for me. 

I’m hoping someone can use this as intended. This set is £490 on the Thomann site, but I’m offering it at a price that won’t leave you suffering remorse if it doesn’t turn you into Ron Carter overnight. 

Free postage within the UK.

I’m willing to try! The pre amp alone is worth it.
