  1. I too have started playing double bass in the past twelve months, and have experienced all the feedback problems you speak of. I had a Realist for a while, which has a high output, and seemed prone to feedback, it also seemed to distort some of the notes, maybe I didn't have it set up correctly. I play in quite a loud blues band with bass drums sax etc, so some of the subtle tones you get from a piezzo pick up probably wouldn't be heard anyway, so I bought a Schaller magnetic. I run this through a Fishman platinum pro pre amp which definitely helps having phase and notch filters, it's got a built in tuner and a boost switch as well; it's not cheap though. In answer to Slobluesine who mentions Doug's plugs f hole covers. I have now started to make my own version in the UK, called f-its, and they work brilliantly. I have had permission from Ped to mention my website, please check it out if your interested. its www.f-itsfeedbackblockers.co.uk I've also recently bought a BBand electret transducer pick up, which sounds great, but I haven't had time to test it out with the band yet. For the record, I play through a Little Mark 3 and a Epiphani series 2 4x10 cab.
