I recently bought a Schertler Stat-B set, and I guess it works out okay together with my SWR Baby Blue.
However I find the tone too 'hollow' without the feeling of focused tone energy. The sounds is perhaps more 'natural' than for example the Underwood pickup, which seems to give a more compressed and unnatural sound, but with note 'focus'.
Where can you get an Underwood? Does anyone of you have one lying around? I feel I just have to test the pickup that Dave Holland uses.

I use the Underwood because of my five strings.
If I played a four I would use the Realist....have you tried it?

I have an Underwood I would be willing to let go for - oh, $75.00. The foil covering around the jack is a little crinkled, but it works perfectly. Please e-mail me for pix and details. |

I've heard the Realist-sound is supposed to be quite dark and without clear highs too.. I guess it differs from bass to bass as usual.
Why do you have to use the Underwood for five strings? |

Yeah, you don't. Put it on and leave it on. But yes, for just checking it out it may seem like much. For what it's worth, I've been using a realist for 5(?) years, no problems, like the sound yada yada.

I also have a Realist that shorted out when the wire started to pull away from the element; was kind of hoping to fix it and sell it, or possibly put it back into action. |

Most pick ups that install on the bass side,in my case, below the B string, the vibrations have trouble with clarity all the way over to the G string side of my full size bridge. Or if I'd mount it under the G side, same is true of the B.
I refuse to take a chance of moving my bridge at all, to get the Realist under the bridge foot. I've been told you don't even have to move the bridge to sneak the pick-up in. but I aint gonna chance it!!
Another sign of aging!
