Not using the wood bridge on purpose. I have a questionable one that I bought from Ray Ramirez about 15 years ago. Anyone else prefer the original bridge to wood?

Andres Rosado Basses are lighter and punchier IMHO than the RR basses. And an almost exact replica to an Ampeg, except for the pickup quality which Andy has improved on and has a lot of Ampeg users sending him their pickups to be redone Andy baby Bass style... Less expensive too..
Hi Bassplayer......Anybody have some pickups for azola, ampeg baby bass ? The magnetic ones.
preferably if you have brigde, plate and pickups, but all kinds are welcomme.

This just got posted on Craigslist in Gainesville, FL. $3,700 for both.

I saw that on Ebay today. That bass is quite the rare bird (5 string - white - two shoulder thingys - and the foot stabilizer!!)- and the condition of the amp is ridiculous!

I wasn't aware they came in 5ers, and it's my colour, too.
How much does a Kidney sell for nowadays? Low mileage, only driven to Church on Sundays for the sacramental wine...
Seems like a fair trade when add in the Ampeg tube amp and speaker combo. I played somebody else's 4 string version (black not white) of this setup sitting in for a jazz gig when I was 18 back in 69. Always wanted one. 5-string must have some serious thump on that low B. I might take a drive down to Micanopy next weekend just to check it out and drool.
Still available?I have a possible solution for you. I have a 1990s Azola Ampeg reissue with the typical pickups, and a peizo mic with active preamp, all factory.
PM me if this would interest you.

There is a luthier in PR by the name of Andres Rosado who makes the Ampeg Style pickups if you're interested I can put you in touch with him...
Hi.
Is there anybody who has or know where I can buy a magnetic pickup for a Azola baby bass (ampeg style). It was build without, but I really want that extra punch.
Kind regards Jesper Hansen (Copenhagen, Denmark)

Thanx, I have talked with him, he really was nice and helpful, but it was a little expensive :-(
Hi. Looks nice. What is the prize, and do you want to send it to Denmark ? Regards J

i talked to him again. He will make me a Azola plate w pickups and brigde for good prize
Hi, I spoke to Kris from KK who mentioned some players install an additional piezo pickup to complement the magnetic one. If you tried this on your KK Baby Bass, where did you put it, and did you install an onboard preamp/mixer to blend the inputs?

You have to have a maple bridge and then you can add in say an Underwood, Shadow SH950 (as I had) or Bass Max wing piezo pickup. Just like a double bass. I didn't blend the two pickups as I usually just used the piezo
Thanks Clarkybass! Maybe a stupid question, but did you remove the front plate to re-wire the output jack, or simply fixed the new jack on top, next to the original one?
Also very curious to heard how it sounds, if you have any recordings.
