Marc S Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi there, Just looking at pickup options available to the DB'er And I came across these on ebay Haven't seen one in the flesh On ebay, they only seem to be available from the US So I just wondered if any BC'er has / had one and how they found they perform? Are they any good? and if so, where did you buy yours from?

Marc S Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Sorry, forgot to add, they're made by "Myers" Anyone used them? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not used one, but interesting principle. Hard to say what it will sound like or how feedback resistant it would be without trying. I did a search on TB and nothing came up so a bit of an unknown. Are you looking for a specific kind of pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I was looking for something with more of an "acoustic feel" to it Something which picks up more of the natural sound of the bass I've got a piezzo pickup fitted to the bridge and I just wondered whether these acted more like using a microphone...

jrixn1 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Bumping this old thread! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Feather Micro Coil, to use on quieter gigs (where I hope feedback will not be a problem). https://www.myerspickups.com/products/the-feather-mirco-coil-pickup-system Anyone tried one?

NickA Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Seem to remember the "string section" at a David Byrne gig all had pickups that looked just like those. At the price it's worth a punt. But seem to have gone now :`( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
