Double Bass Marvin Tailpiece and Pickup

[Eric Hochberg]

Curious as to how you Marvin users are mounting your PU jacks. Pictures anyone?

I think this is what he says

I just have mine attached to the thing with cable ties (those locking plastic strips), but yesterday I was talking to Bob Hurst and he said that he punched two holes is his bow quiver, and then attached the pickup to that. If you're going to have a quiver anyway, that seems like a good option.

Yeah I zip tied my full circle to one side of it, getting it not to buzz was a little more difficult. and also it creates weird cord angles.

I stuck my Full Circle jack to the bow quiver with velcro.

To answer my own question, I got the Marvin TP and mount the screw of my Stat-B jack holder through a hole in the felt damper that comes with the TP. Works fine.

So what's your verdict on the TP?

So what's your verdict on the TP?

Most notable change is increased brightness tonally and a new wolf tone on the open A string. That seems to have moved from the Ab WT the bass had previously. I tamed the new wt with a towel between the TP and the top of the bass. I'll probably switch back to my standard TP as I think I prefer the darker sound.
