Product Description

The Realist Upright Bass acoustic transducer was designed by Ned Steinberger in association with David Gage. A primary design goal was to create a transducer that would work equally well for pizzicato and arco through commonly used amplifiers, without requiring a pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear. A flexible element fits under the bridge foot so that it picks up sound from both the bridge and top plate. Produces a rich and powerful response that is acoustically true for both pizzicato and arco without adjusting controls. No preamp necessary. Easy installation. Just plug it in.

5just as advertised
By David Munsick
Everything went fine with this order. It was presented, shipped and delivered as promised. I have used this type of pickup before on my fiddle and have been very pleased with its performance. I would not hesitate to use this business in the future.

By griep
I spent thousands on a beautiful sounding upright. it had the right tone. it played like a dream.then I cheaped out on the pickup.then I bought a different one.then I bought a near-field mic setup.... then I harumpfed, grumbled, and bought a realist (which everyone had been telling me to do since day one).Regrettably, here are your 5 stars, realist.

5Enjoying playing amplified acoustic bass with pickup
By L. Anderson
Pickup works great, puts together in about 30 minutes, simple and precise instructions. Have only played it in an enclosed area so far and still working out ways to eliminate feedback at higher volume. Deep bass; crisp, "stringy" highs. Sounds clear when bowed. Looking forward to hearing this kit out or on stage.
