Piezo Bridge

[Rodders]

Hi

I'm looking for a piezo bridge to retro-fit to my fretless

because I really like the sound Percy Jones gets out of his Ibanez EDA 900

I've found the one made by Hipshot but I was wondering wether anybody knew of any other companies that make them?


Thanks

RMC makes piezo saddles that fit several standard bridges. The best (IMO) though are the Reference piezo pickups made by Rick Turner. Unfortunately he doesn't sell 'm as retrofits - only featured on his Electroline basses. These pickups (combined with a quality preamp, a neccesity for all piezo pickups) have a HUGE sound and no harshness as often heard in ABG pickups. If you can fit a ABG style bridge (single saddle) on your bass you might want to check out (apart from RMC, Highlander and D-Tar models) Schertler Bluestick. It is featured on the fourstring models of Kristall basses made by Andi Kristall in Germany, check out his website [url="http://www.kristallbass.com"]http://www.kristallbass.com[/url]. If I wouldn't have my Turner Electroline I'd buy his Room 5 (see picture; with seperate piezo saddles) bass!

There's also a couple of ebay sellers in the USA and Canada who do them at very reasonable prices - just put "bass piezo bridge" into an ebay search.

+1 for what Jan said about the preamp... get the best one you possibly can.
