Double Bass Rockabilly Pickup

I picked up one of these as part of an ebay purchase with another pickup. I will send a photo later if needed. It looks good quality but seems to be made partly from an old bottle top!

Does anyone know
Can it work well without a preamp?
Is it any good for jazz?
How does it attach to the bass?

I currently use (and am happy with) an Underwood pu + a golden trinity mic and preamp upgrade (only used when not playing with drums!

Thanks in advance
