Piezo-What A Difference!!!!

[StyleOverShow]

carvin offers a piezo upgrade. sounds like absolute dogmeat. what happened was, the bass i ordered had "problems" and they offered me this other bass that was in stock with options i diddnt pay for, for the same price. i took it, and one of the things i did not pay for was the $100 or so piezo upgrade. it sounds like absolute dogmeat, like a bad synthesizer trying to emulate an acoustic bass or something. maybe thats just the carvin one, but i cant immagine anything similar being usefull.

my 2 cents.

Had similar experience with my 5 string Carvin. Took awhile to work out setting on guitar and amp to make it sound reasonable. Ultimately worked it out so I use it often after some string changes, etc. It didn't have a piezo though.

See posts about EUB's (piezo equipped) and the right/matching amp. Euphonics are mentioned...

What a great day when I found this early gift under the tree.

As you can see if you follow [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], Yamaha is a major manufacturer that has been using piezo pickups in some of their basses for awhile now.

I would really like to add a piezo to my Barker Vertical bass. I've asked around for a place that might be able to do it, with no luck. I'm open to suggestions on that by the way.

My F Bass AC6 (Alain Caron signature model) is the only bass I've owned with piezos, and I LOVE this bass!
