Double Bass Bridge Pickup
The piezoelectric transducer element
is incorporated into a conventional,
wooden double bass bridge. It there-
fore permits a non compromising,
natural audio quality. The DB 1
is installed on the double bass like a
standard bridge is mounted on the
instrument.
“Miking a double bass
never was so easy.”
