    Double Bass Help needed with AKG C-411 and battery pack

    Double Bass Help needed with AKG C-411 and battery pack

    Yes, fresh battery, screwed the mini jack in as far as it would go, tried both channels at all volume settings. So there’s no LED indicators or any kind or on/off on yours? Seems an odd design for a battery powered device. But I at least want to know if I’m doing something wrong

    Double Bass Question on the Vic’s Pickups models

    That’s the thing, the look the same to me. Ah… yeah if the B has two piezo transducers that would make sense. I might reach out to Vic, thanks for the responses!

    Double Bass Question on the Vic’s Pickups models

    Hi all, I’m looking at the model A (called Slap) which mounts to the underside of the fingerboard and the model B (wing bridge pickup) which gets sort of wedged into the bridge. Are these essentially the same pickups, with the difference being the model A is mounted with double sided tape? Or is...

    It does seem like placement would be critical with this kind of thing, but I haven’t used one yet, that’s just a guess...
