gypsyjazzer Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If anybody requires to fit a jack to the DB tailpiece Basschat'er 'bassace' can supply a small attachment that you mount onto the DB tailpiece that does just that. Very easy to fit---works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the plug Mike. Yes folks, I am now doing a run of the clip that I devised to fit on my basses to give a good fix to the jack socket from the pickup. £6.50 posted. Sorry no photo available right now but if you are not fully satisfied I'll refund the money and you can keep the clip - limited period only, while the clip gets better known. Clarky has one as well.

Clarky Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yep, I do indeed have one on my old German flat back and it's a very neat solution. Plus Roger (aka Bassace) is one of BC's true gentlemen so this ones highly recommended by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nputtick Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 On this topic, what do people think of the type of clip used on the K&K Bassmax - which fits to the A & D strings between bridge and tailpiece? Is there any concern it dampens vibration of the "afterlength"? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 This type of fixing is used on Bassmax, Fishman Full Circle and BP-100 - and others probably. Some players favour afterlength damping to reduce the possibility of feedback but this is across all four strings, not just A and D. By the time the bass sound comes out of the speaker there is a certain amount of degredation anyway so my problems with such clips tend to be practical/ aesthetic rather than acoustic. You either have a straight jack sticking out and prone to damage by some passing musician or you need an angled jack. Plus a possibility of unravelling the silk binding. The Fishmans can be modified to give a straight socket than can be clipped to the underside of the tailpiece - tidy and safe - and so can the Bassmax but the trouble is that the cable is in most cases just a bit too short to make it down to the clip point. Incidentally, I have now developed my clip to handle two pickup jacks; there's a lot of mixing happening out there. PM me is I can help.

Mr Bassman Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've just fitted a Full Circle and used one of Rogers custom clips. It was a doddle to fit and is really solid. Anyone looking for an improved tailpiece jack socket mount should check these out. Many thanks Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Roger [/quote] Spookily, I have one of Roger's clips anchoring the jack socket on my Full Circle too! Very cool little device and less fiddly than the Lando clamp (albeit thats pretty good too! I have one on my other bass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks for the plug, Clarky, and the photo, Keith. My photo attachment skills are zero so much appreciated. I have some available at £6.50 posted if anyone would care to PM me. (I've paid my twenty quid!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
