Double Bass Pick up choice for solid bridges?

Hi everyone. Now I have a full gut set up I'm going to be changing my bridge for a solid one in the near future as the adjusters are up really high now. On stage I have been using a blend of the Bass Band backed up with a little Realist Lifeline and getting a fairly good sound with plenty of usable volume.

Can anyone recommend a decent pick up that doesn't fit around bridge adjusters? By the way, I tried the K&K bass master from my previous bass and it didn't sound good at all.

Thanks in advance.
 
Rev Solo, Realist (under bridge foot), Ehrlund EAP... Why not put adjusters on your new bridge? If a bridge of sufficient height is chosen, you should be able to achieve all the string height you'd want.
 
Hi, my current bridge adjusters are up really high and my luthier recommended a solid bridge for the gut strings. I like the band but in high stage volume gigs I've been mixing in the lifeline and getting a good sound so I was curious about other pick ups with a reasonable sound and high feedback resistant volume.
