Recommendations for a pickup please!

Recommended Posts

I play at a local educational trust thing. On electric bass.

They have a couple of doubles (that must be worth at least £7.25 on a good day) and they wish to have a pickup installed on one of them for use with the larger ensembles.

Will be mostly played pizz, but a bit of arco. No slapping / rock-a-billy!

 

Can anyone recommend a pickup for about £150 that would be worth having? Ideally one that can go straight into a regular bass amp without another preamp.

 

thanks

I contacted Armstrong pickups a year or so ago when I wanted a magnetic pickup for my 5 string. They came up with a custom design based on measurements I sent them. Works perfectly. the only issue is figuring a way to fasten it to the end of the fingerboard. Cost me £120.
