Picks up fingerboard clicks when playing slap-bass
This pickup is renowned for it's natural sound. It's encased in solid Maple, the same wood used in bass bridges.
There's no metal, rubber, plastic,
or anything else between the piezo crystal and the sound it's being asked to
reproduce... only Maple wood, all the way.
It can be sanded thinner to fit
the bridge, rather than vice-versa. Installation instructions and
sandpaper are included with each pickup.
The jack installs behind and at the top of the tailpiece, with an unique clamp
on the bottom end of the "G" string, just before it enters the
tailpiece slot.
This holds a straight guitar-cord vertical, behind
the tailpiece
The Solo's casing is thicker than any existing bridge-wing pickup.
So if you have an existing wing-mounted pickup, you can install the Solo into
the same wing opening, without a shim. Simply sand it to fit the same opening
your old pickup was in!
Clef Music Manufacturing Company is proud to announce that the Revolution Solo Double Bass Pickup (pat.pend.) has undergone some significant changes.These changes have been made after listening to our dealers, customers and players opinions over the past two years.
As before, the pickup element is encased in genuine Maple (same as your bridge), and can be sanded thinner to fit the bridge, rather than vice-versa.
Installation instructions and sandpaper are included with each pickup. You can see online instructions by clicking *HERE*.The changes to the RS-II include:
*NEW* - a custom piezo to meet Clef Music specifications. The new piezo is both more powerful and more efficient than what was previously used.
Clef's new custom piezo element now has drastically lowered impedance.
This will virtually eliminate the need for pre-amps!
The RS-I needed no preamp, more often than not, and the lowered impecance achieved with the new element in the RS-II takes that even farther giving it universal compatibility with most amplifiers on the market.
Clef's new piezo is also capable of a broader tonal range while sub-harmonic frequencies have been significantly reduced..*NEW* - upgrading the parts to fully shielded, pro audio quality pieces.
*NEW* - after-length dampener that can be used as an optional item that is simple to install within seconds.
Clef has found that some basses perform better amplified with some minor after-length dampening.Clef's new pickup is a combination of everything you loved about the original Revolution Solo Double Bass Pickup and the features and performance that
users wished for.End-user feedback has been extremely favorable.
