L R Baggs para acoustic DI

[slaerts]

I know they are designed for acoustic guitars but anyone using it for acoustic/electric basses? How did it go?

i have been meaning to try one out for my double bass... i hate pickups, and generally just play acoustically with a mic, but more often than not, a pickup is a necessity... i'm hoping the combination of my gage pickup with the l.r.baggs will sound nice, and i can find a good way to mount an audio technica mic on (that nice little SDC... can't remember the number) with velcro on the bridge foot or something...

anyway, my post sounds like it certainly should be in the double bass forum... i know lots of guitarists and violinists who get great results with those di's.

I've just spent 15 mins playing around with it gong striaght to my amp and through the effects loop of my ebs micro bass II using the effects blend knob and stuff. It really sounds nice with my acoustic bass - so far.

It'll mean I can turn up to church with the acoustic bass and the baggs di and plug in and play with no amps to lug around.

Just played it in church tonight with an acoustic bass and sounded great. Easy in easy out, no amp, from baggs to PA. 3 min set up and 3 min pull down. Bass in gig bag, lead, di and tuner in gig bag and thats all folks.
