I lent my spare piezo pickup, a Revolution Solo [url="http://www.uptonbass.com/Double-Bass-Pickup-Revolution-SOLO-II-RS2/"]http://www.uptonbass...on-SOLO-II-RS2/[/url] , to another BCer for six months or so and got it back last week. I had forgotten that its too large to fit the wings on my Kolstein travel bass ... and I don't fancy shaving the wood casing down. However I do want a back-up piezo wing pickup in case of problems with my Ehrlund contact pickup. So ...

1. I can offer a Revolution Solo pickup as a trade for a BassMax or Shadow SH950

2. Or failing that I would like to buy one of the aforementioned, if someone has a spare

Unfortunately time is of the essence as we have rehearsals next week for our album launch gig on 8th July and I would like to test the backup pickup in a band environment. I will have to buy new if I can't sort a deal with a BCer quickly (ie, today!)

I've just taken a bass max off my Hungarian and fitted a full circle so might be able to swap. Just need to make sure the full circle is right. Having said that I can't take it off now anyway.

Hi Keith, that would be great - assuming the FC is right for your bass. Are you sure you want a Rev Solo in place of Bass Max as spare?

Just tried the F.C.

It sounds great but I'm not sure if I dare take it to gig tonight, I've just fitted the weichs and the tuning may not be stable for a day or two.

Can swap for the Upton if you like, I know that sounds ok on that bass anyway.

Must grab a shower and get ready for gig.

Thats great, thanks Keith :) I have a FC on my flatback and its very good live, especially at higher volumes. I have an Ehrlund on my Kolstein which sounds very microphone-like and hasn't let me down on a gig or rehearsal yet - but our album launch gig is too important not to have a backup pickup!
