Schatten Design Upright Bass Pickup - Passive

From Basic Bass to Rockabilly

...the new RB series offers you a bass pickup tailored to your playing styles and requirements.

Outstanding - We've created a new series of great sounding bass pickups that are easy to install, non-invasive and intelligently designed. The RB series is available in both passive and active formats.

The passive RB pickup models work perfectly well and sound good when plugged straight into any decent quality bass amp.

The active RB models are made for those players that need to be able to plug directly into P.A. systems and prefer to have the convenience of an on board preamp on their bass.

Those players that require a preamp but don't want one on their bass may choose to use the passive RB of their choice and utilize one of our outboard Preamp/DI units.

The RB-1 (passive) provides our RB bass bridge sensor wired to a small black jack assembly that easily clips between the strings just above the tailpiece.

The RB-1A utilizes the RB sensor and adds a velcro mounted combination preamp and jack assembly that attaches to the back side of the tailpiece.
