Double Bass Pickup - Clip-on Type

This is a handmade pickup for the double bass.

It cannot be installed without a bridge with adjusters. There will be a difference of about 2mm left to right, so if there is no room to lower the string height on the bass string side, I think it will affect the playing feel. It is for a 6mm shaft. 8mm types cannot be installed.

It feels like a much cleaner version of a copper foil type Realist, and I think it pairs well with large bass amps for jazz, pop, and rehearsal studios.

I believe it will show its true potential when used with a preamp that has an input impedance of around 10 megohms, but in a live setting, plugging it in directly gives a slightly mellow sound, which is also quite interesting and profound. The raw gain seems to be quite high.

The tone itself is a pickup that I think young people... how should I put it... will go crazy for! Just kidding!

I'd rather not be an old man.

I'm truly sorry.

It's new, only tested for operation, but it has a handmade feel.

Please fix it to the tailpiece with the included cable ties and use it.
