TheRev Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Have you ever had earth buzz issues with it? I'm on my second pickup after the first developed terrible earth buzz. Jason Krivo replaced it for postage (plus import tax.. 😡) but now the replacement is having the same issues. I really like this pickup but if it's gping to fail every 18 months (even if replaced for free) I'm going to have to look into alternatives. Anyone tried a Biesele?

TPJ Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have a Kirvo but don't really use it. I do recall some sort of noise associated with it, way less than the Armstrong one, but not to the point of it being unusable, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I emailed Jason at Krivo last night and he got straight back to me, offering to send out a replacement. Result. It's a grounding problem which is solved with the latest version of the pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I really like the look of the Krivo, too late now I've screwed the Schaller on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Good to know. How do these things sound Rev? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a more focussed and direct sound than a piezo but the design of the Krivo allows enough of the lovely double bassy resonance to be reproduced. I've had lots of compliments on my sound - Bassace and Alexpea both said it 'sounds like a double bass'. Which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Magic. I may well make use of it, thanks to the awesome TJP I’m getting to try one out and see. This forum is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
