KNA DB1 is the best most transparent pickup on the market. Highly recommend

I have experience with both the swingmasters and the sbw dirty guts. The dirty guts win hands down. They are easier to play, better to bow, provide a more authentic gut sound and are cheaper. I like the swingmasters but they were higher tension. The copper wound e and a strings chewed my...

I use kz zs10 pro iems and Behringer pm2 headphone amp and this setup works flawlessly.
