    Double Bass Favorite bridge-piezo-preamp combo for EUB?

    Cool,I'm going to do some checking up on the transducer- So you're getting good tone plugged in DI and/or with an amp? It might be worthwhile to set up a 'test' bass and experiment with various systems and bridges.

    Double Bass Favorite bridge-piezo-preamp combo for EUB?

    Thanks for the response,I'll try to clarify my question- There seems to be quite a variety of bridge and piezo styles used on EUB's- The tall bridge as used on traditional upright/double basses,and I believe I've read about some using multiple piece bridges with sepate legs and separate...

    Double Bass Favorite bridge-piezo-preamp combo for EUB?

    What is your pick for piezo-equipped bridge and preamp on eub? I thought a traditional acoustic-type bridge with piezo under the saddle would be best,with more natural tone,but I've heard the electric type bridges with independent saddles and piezos may be better for achieving balance string to...

    New GassieBall taste test: soundclip challenge inside!

    Dang that thread is way out there- Should be the "human rights plus SX pickups thread" Maybe the Admin should just erase the dumb comment about "commies" the guy made that started it all.

    hey what about the stock sx's? as soon as I get one I'll find out I guess,but what's your take? I read somewhere that their J pu's are better than their P's.
