    Double Bass best double bass pickup in $200'ish price range...

    Stay away from Fishman. The Revolution Solo pickup is a great pickup in my opinion (it's what I use). As is the Realist (great past expiereience with it). My main point I want to get across though....STAY AWAY FROM FISHMAN!!

    Pete Wentz Greatest Bassist Ever

    ...cause if it's not, than this is about the dumbest post I have ever seen!! Son, if you want to see a REAL bass player that plays with a pick, look up Chris Squire of Yes. Pete Wimpz can't hold a candle to Chris Squire.
