Tech21, I am running the k&k trinity 2 channel. I was under the impression that just an adapter will not work between the k&k and an amp or pa system, that I needed a direct box? Mostlybass, Thanks, thats the input I need to hear, whats good for the money.

Thanks for all the advice. I have only been playing upright for a couple of years, and the running through a pa or amp has just been the last few months. I am still trying to get a real understanding of it all. I believe I might just get a" Fishman Platinum Pre", from what I read so far...

Sam---"What You pay more for (or should be paying more for) is wider usable frequency range, better distortion characteristics and lower noise floor." I think this is kinda what I was after? I believe I was wanting a passive unit so I dont have any batteries to worry about. I hope this is a...

Thought I might do an intro. I live in southern Indiana. Have had my bass for about 2 years. Its a 68 kay with gut strings and I love it! I got kinda of a late start in life playing bass but have been watching upright players for a few years now and would always think, I want to do that. I...

Last week there was an 800$ engelhart on louisville craiglist, and a 1300$ kay out of the one in cinci. I hope I'm not steering you wrong, but these 2 caught my eye. Greg Where are you located. I'm in madison. Lots of bluegrass around here.
