RB-1A - Upright Bass Pickup with Tailpiece-Mounted Preamp

$224.95

The RB-1A provides our RB bass bridge sensor and adds a very small preamp  that attaches to the back side of the tailpiece with strong industrial velcro.

The RB sensor element is designed to fit in the wing slot of a bass bridge. Normal placement of the sensor is in the bass side slot.

Sound Clips:  Clip 1

Technical


Main Sensor: The RB sensor has a nominal thickness of 0.25" (6.35mm) and requires a wing slot opening of approximately 0.225" (5.7).
The fit of the sensor in the slot is meant to be snug and there is intended to be a slight interference fit. The sensor will compress slightly as it is pushed into the wing slot.

Preamp:  The unit utilizes one of our MicroPre 4 db buffer preamps. The preamp  installs quickly and easily to the back side of the tailpiece and is held in place with some strong industrial strength velcro.
