RE: OT: Upright Bass Pickup?



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
