[quote name='Duckyincarnate' post='613034' date='Sep 30 2009, 03:30 PM']I was thinking of going up to about £150.[/quote]


I'd go for the [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/david_gage_the_realist_kontrabass.htm"]Realist[/url].

UNLESS - you're playing with quite high stage volumes in which case the Realist may not be the best option as it can be more susceptible to feedback. If this is the case, you could do worse than spend £100 on a Bassmax and put the remaining £50 towards a nice preamp.

Might be worth having a look at the double bass forum over on Talkbass - they have a whole section on pickups which should point you in the right direction.

The shadow served me well for years, preferred the Underwood though. Remember to fit the E side only, It cancels out the phase issues, giving a deeper bottom end also.
For anyone mailing me about the Planet wing, my personal messages don't work on this site for some reason ( as can be seen from previous posts), I can be contacted at [email protected].

No problem man, It's a fantastic pickup. If I was playing pizz only, I'd never have got rid of It. No dispute, It outshines the rest for pizz in every respect, so well made too, wish everyone would use quality materials like that!Glad you like
it.
