Of course. The right tool to separate the top from the ribs too.Too Late!!!
Now I need one of these...
And use the previous tool to fix top to the ribs afterwards.

Hi,
This pickup heavily relies on your top arching. I have a really well-arched bass so there's a lot of pressure on the pickup, sounds good to my ears. I just simply remove the -10db from my GK MB150E amp (which is on because of my active electric basses) and there, sound! Also what I found out on the bandstand with the same pickup but with a different amp-bass combination is that you don't need too much volume because it really cuts through the band, I played with a Big Band, no trouble with volume what so ever. I would recommend checking a more double bass preferred amps like the GK I use or acoustic-image. A preamp could work too, or simply just put your amp to passive mode.
Hope I helped, Simon
