Question Hi Bass Players of the world

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi, I'm a new member of the Bass Community although I play electric bass professionally for the last 40 years and upright for the last 30 years.
Glad to join in and I'd like to start with a question:

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A MAGNETIC PICK-UP MANUFACTURER WHO'D BE WILLING TO BUILD ME A PICK OR SELL ME AN ALREADY EXISTING PICK-UP UP WHICH COULD PROPERLY AMPLIFY MY PORTUGUESE ACCOUSTIC BASS GUITAR?
I'VE TRIED ALL BRANDS & COMBINATIONS WITH MIKES & PIEZOS (I don't like these) BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NECK OF MY INSTRUMENT HAS A RADIUM A BIT LIKE A CELLO, WHILE ALL PICK-UPS i'VE TRIED IN THE MARKET ARE MADE FOR ELECTRIC BASSES & A.B.G. WITH flat NECKS, MEANING THAT MY E+G STRINGS ARE ALWAYS much TOO LOUD COMPARED TO A+D.
HELP!!!! ANY INFO WOULD BE MOST WELCOME 'COS MY INSTRUMENT LOOKS AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, HAS A 200 YR. OLD TRADITION IN FADO MUSIC AND IS NOT TO BE COMPARED WITH THE MEXICAN GUITARRON OR THE POPULAR
ACCOUSTIC-ELECT. BASSES s.a. Guild, Epiphone, Washburn, etc.

THANKS IN ADVANCE and... KEEP PRACTISING
