I've used the REALIST pickup of years. Recorded "Blues Clues" with it in combination with a mic (for room ambience) and the Broadway musical "Chicago" for 12 years using this pickup. Switching between Pizzicato and Acro has little change in amplitude completely w/o EQ. It sounds the most natural in clarity of any pickup I've tried (I've tried too many over the years to mention) and at any anticipated/expected instrument dynamic. I also use it on my Mondobass and Cello Banjo (tuned to a bass) with excellent results. ~David > Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:44:30 -0700 > From: looppool@cruzio.com > To: robhyodo@gmail.com; Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: OT: Upright Bass Pickup? > > Hi Loopers, > > Does anyone have a quick answer for this question from a student of mine? > Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
