Gewa DB-1 Double Bass Pickup

This pick-up is HASSLE FREE!

Use
I'm a bass player that gigs around the city and must of the time I need to travel as light as possible. With this piezo I can easily connect to the PA or bass amp in any venue.

Pros
- Extremely easy to install. If you don't have the knowledge nor want to damage your bass by taking out the bridge to install a piezo, or if you don't wanna send it to someone, either because you don't trust, or have no money, or simply you don't want the hassle of it.
- It sounds good, for any gig it will be perfect.

Cons
- You have to attach it properly, this is not a major issue, but if you don't make sure it's properly installed, then it will probably come off.
- The sound is good, but not amazing, you might not want to use it for a serious recording.

Overall
If you need it for live applications it is perfect, no need to do anything to your bass and you will be happy with it.
Now, if you have experience with pick-ups, you're an experienced player, you are a studio musician and you want the next level in sound. Then, you'll need to go for a better pick-up and spend more money, plus probably go through the hassle of installing the piezo/pick-up under the bridge.

J'ai acheté ce piezo pour avoir une sonorisation de ma contrebasse après la casse de mon précédent piezo (un realist cuivre). J'ai priviliégié un petit prix, mal m'en a pris. Le son est vraiment médiocre, pré-ampli ou non. Les attaques sont très fortement reprises et donc à moins d'avoir une très bonne table derrière c'est difficile à amplifier. La fixation du micro avec des lamelles n'est pas très fiable, il m'a fallu plusieurs montages (et finir par écarter franchement le chevalet) pour avoir une fixation correcte. Je déconseille vraiment le produit, malgré son prix attractif. Pour le coup, préférer un copperhead, certes 2 fois plus cher mais tellement plus performant !
