Electric Upright Bass Database

Well, opinions on the Fishman are very mixed...
It seems that most players don't like it.
I've owned two of them, and didn't like them either.
It picks a lot of string noise, being mounted so close to the strings.
I had a few Underwoods and liked them very much.
I've heard nothing but good comments about the K&K Bass Max.
I'd go with it.
But in any case, I strongly suggest you get a preamp, to act as a buffering device between the very high impedance of the piezo pickup, and low impedance input of most amps. Impedance mismatch results in thin, shallow tone with no bottom end.
K&K has a small preamp too.
Bob Gollihur is a good contact for them.
