Double Bass Best pickup for the job?

[Georgia Watt]

I'm just curious which pickup you guys could recommend for me?

Living in Australia (and fortunately working in a music shop) so I have access to names like Fishmann, Barcus Berry, etc.

Wanting to use the pickup for some jazz, cabaret work.

Help!? Ta!

Yeh thanks for the link. Was more after your folks opinion on the different pickups. Pros & cons, etc.

Anyone?

Georgia, those links contain what you are looking for - opinions on the pickups. Since it is a commonly asked question/topic, these threads provide a wealth of info.

I strongly recommend the McIntyre Bass "Feather". I believe this pickup is the best. It sounds like a good condenser mic., but with no feedback.
