cheap piezo pickup that gets the job done
so man 19.03.2014
Great item for the price. I’m new to double bass playing so I didn’t want to spend loads of money. Can’t beat the price of this item for what it does. I’ve played two gigs with it so far. Without a preamp it sound very harsh and treblely. This is because of the impedance mismatch between the peizo and the input on the amp or desk. Using a preamp it sounds good. It picks up the frequencies of my bass evenly. Sometimes I can hear a flanger type sound coming from it but this may be because of the way I mounted it.
I fitted the pickup into the side of the bridge below the e string. Initially it would not fit but used a shim of wood to push it into the side of the bridge. I’ve had no feedback problems, although I haven’t played at high volumes with it.

For the price, well worth it
Anonymous 10.02.2017
Writing this review with the price in mind as you obviously cant expect top quality sound for so little, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality I got. While I would recommend something a bit better for recording, this pick up works perfectly for live performances and practicing. The instructions that come with it are very vague and quite difficult to understand but its quite easy to apply the pick up without them. Overall, this product exceeded my expectations and have no regrets with my purchase.

Good Value

Don't expect incredible sound from this, and it's probably worth investing in some tape as the velcro will probably unstick.
That said, this product is twenty quid, and fantastic value. It's worth investing in a higher quality pickup if you're planning on using it regularly, but this is fantastic if you're planning on using it once a month or so.

Great little pickup
Daniel M bass 29.09.2015
As stated in other reviews not much information on how it should be set up but overall really simple and sounds good enough for most gigs you will do. I have found some amps that I plug it directly into have a problem with volume probably needing a preamp to sort out resistance problems but most amps have absolutely not problem with this. The amp that gave me most problems are the ampeg small 100 watt combos not my favourite either haha. Overally a very useful product !
