Good cost-performance ratio
Anonymous 02.07.2014
I ordered it to pickup my double bass.
I play it in a big-band in combination with an old 100W Musicman tube amp, only plucked with fingers. It was a little complicated to find the right position in the bridge to get the best sound. Finally I locked it with two pieces of cork. That was the best solution to get a good punch and clear ups.

The delivery time was short. Only two days after order the item arrived.
It comes in a noble looking box.
Only con is the mounting of the jack plug, here you?ll need some creativity for a good permanent solution.
Finally the function is good for the price.

Easy to fit and connect

Pick up fitted easily into the bridge with minimal adjustment of the bridge "wings"
Signal is very strong but needs to be EQ'd to remove a lot of the top and mid of the signal otherwise a lot of finger contact movement is audible in the signal.

Good sound, broken after a few months

Great sounding entry level pickup, however a loose connection of some sort inside the unit meant that it was useless after a few months. Really needs a buffer like a Boss pedal or Pre amp for live use.

Ok pickup for the price. Easy to install but sound output can be weak. Does produce a nice sound though. No problems with quality.

Thomann service impeccable as always. 5*

This pickup is very easy to install. The instructions are fairly basic, but when installed in the slots each side of the bridge, it works really well. It picks up the slap sound when played rockabilly style as well.

Thin sound

I bought this pickup as a cheap alternative as my K&K gave up. The sound of this pickup is very thin and does not produce much bass tone. Ideal for someone who is starting out and wants cheap pickup but I would recommend spending lightly more money and get a better pickup.
