DS287 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Any ideas what this pickup is? It came with an old battered laminate bass that has now been sold - I'll be looking to move it on if I can identify it. 🤔 Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Most likely an Underwood. It's an old design, they've made them since the 70s, but people still like them. There's a similar looking Shadow from Germany, but I've only seen those with moulded jacks, not metal ones. Quote
NickA Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Looks like Underwood, quite an old one. may have once had a foil covered rubber sleeve around the metal socket with the branding on it. F it is, they're Quite expensive new. £180 to £200. Used one on reverb for £165.  Not a shadow anyway. I have a 30yr old shadow one ( no longer used ) and that terminates in a 3.5mm plug with a metal adapter to take a normal 1/4" guitar lead, also no serial number on the piezos.  I'm not keen on them ( too "clacky" and hard to get the pressure on the piezos just right) but some people really like them.
