Double Bass Help identify these pickups

[tsarter]

Hello there

I’m hoping to get some input and seeing if someone can help me identify the pick ups on picturing below. One is on an electric upright and the other on an old American standard bass. Any help is appreciated.

The second one looks like Pierre Joseph String Charger. These were advertised by NHOP.

There was another pickup from Pierre Joseph called the ‘Bridge Charger’, but I don’t think that your photo 1 is that.
There is another company that makes something similar.

How do they sound?

First one is a Krivo.
Magnetic pickups don't sound much acoustic to me.

The one on the EUB sounds pretty good. One on the old American Standard sounds fantastic.

It appears to have a transducer of some sort wedged into the wing of the bridge too. I’m guessing their signals are blended together somehow.

Thank you!

You’re welcome.

@PierreAJosephs is this a version of the Bridge Charger or is this an underwood wired to plug into the Jack?
