Double Bass Dean EUB - String pop/snap noise
- Thread starter Rick1947
- Start date
The pickup is located under the tune-able bridge and would require a complete dismantling of the bridge. The inspection plate on the back of the bass is just access to the vol control and cord jack.
Ok, thanks.
Is it like this one? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Anyway, it's still my impression that the crystal has cracked.
Can you post a pic of the bridge please?
Maybe another kind of pickup could be used.

Oh, I see.
It's the older model.
Well, I'd personally unmount the bridge and look under, but I can understand you wouldn't want to do that.
I'm not sure there's enough space to mount classic magnetic pickups between the fingerboard and bridge.
Putting a small piezo on the bridge with putty could possibly work, or no.

A piezo pickup has response way into the subsonic range. It's common to hear thumping noises as you pluck strings. If you are playing aggressively, any "clacking" of the strings will be amplified. Is it passive? I have gotten weird noises coming out of piezo equipped basses when the battery was going dead. If it's a sharp sound, I would suspect the pickup is faulty as Francois has suggested. Can you upload an audio file?
