RE: OT: Upright Bass Pickup?



Well thank you Todd. I also played tuba on the bulk if not all of those B.Clues shows. While I don't think we met at any Broadway activity, I believe we both had shared a student Tim from Vernon NJ for a few years. There may also have been a gig or two w/ Walter Thompson we played together some time ago. Did you ever sub for that Mahavishnu Project band? I think I may have seen you with them. ~David

You did Blues Clues?  wow.  honored to have you on the list, David.  I LOVED that show, and I'm not even a parent.  (and we were on Broadway together for years, have we met?)

and I'm a fan of the realist as well,  both for bass and for cello.  (not for violin though)

best,  T.

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
