What basses are made with both Piezo and Magnetic pickups

I know Carvin does both.

 

you can get a Stingray with both magnetic and piezo pups

 

The Hotwire "Double bass"

a whole lot of custom builders will do that for you if money is not a stopper.

 

Turner/Renaissance Electroline...

 

My Dean Brian Bromberg Signature 5 sounds NIZE

They come in a 4 string too

The Jerzy Drozd Legend is semi-acoustic with individual piezo bridge saddles and a magnetic pickup.

 

steinbergers do

 

Yes, the Steinberger Synapse basses are lightweight and have both a magnetic and piezo pickup. I have a 5-string fretted and fretless and I absolutely love them. The Synapse fretless is the best fretless I've ever heard/played and the fretted has the grind, crunch and clarity for all my needs, probably my #1 of all my 25+ basses.

 

Examples I can think of right now (though loads of people will do it, pretty much any builder you want)...

Status- played one with both magnetic pickups and a Piezo in the bridge

Fodera- Vic's Fodera with the piezo set

Warwick- It's offered as an option when ordering a bass

Sound of Sweden- Jonas's first basses from Sound Of Sweden were fitted with "Shadow Piezos", if you look at the front of the "Thumb basics" book you can see a wire coming from the bridge to an external battery. He later had the wire passed through the bass internally.

 

he can install that system in all of his basses.

 

You can also check around for an older Peavey B Quad 4, their Brian Bromberg bass.

Overall a very nice zingy piezo sound, and an underrated bass.

 

The Ibanez EDA905, It's out of production but they aren't that hard to find. The magnetic sounds good and solid. The piezo pickups are Fishman, I guess they're one of the better makers but to me it sounds nasally.

 

I know MM Stingrays do, it's an option.

I'm not sure, but I think Godin might as well.

 

Bongos too . . . .

i got one on order. should be here in january.

 

As one can tell from the posts above, there are many alternatives, and I think most luthiers have piezos on their lists of custom options. They are a bit more rare on production line basses, but they do exist. Like on the Fender Power Jazz:

 

Yamaha TRB, the neck through version has both piezo's and magnetic pickups
