Should you get a double bass pickup? | Classical double bass

Should you get a double bass pickup? | Classical double bass

If you are a double bassist specializing in jazz performance, then getting a double bass pickup is a 'no brainer'. But when it comes to classical double bass, this argument of whether to get a double bass pickup or not can be tricky.

Here's my experience with the double bass pickup. I once played a concerto with a symphony. We performed at an outside venue rather than an inside venue. Performing in an outside setting can be difficult considering the multiple extraneous noises that occur outside (bird noises, cars, people talking). There are two ways to get past the extraneous noises. I chose option number 2 for my outside concerto performance. 

1. Play louder

You can always play louder during those outside concerts, but the problem with playing loud the whole time is that you don't give the opportunity for the audience to hear soft 'piano' sections. For example, if you start the piece of music playing loud, when its supposed to sound mezzo forte (mf), it will be difficult to play piano (p), because if you actually do play piano, then nobody in the outside venue will be able to hear you over all the outside noises. So consequently, you are devaluing the performance by not allowing the softer dynamics to take place. The good thing about this approach is that the sound is still natural, rather than the sound being played from loudspeakers. However, it may be in your favor to sacrifice the pure natural double bass sound for a louder amplified sound, so you don't have to work harder playing loud all the time. 

2. Use a pickup

In order to amplify your double bass sound using an amplifier (speakers), you must have a pickup. A pickup is a device that converts the vibration of your instrument into an electronic signal. This electronic signal that the pickup creates can then be used by an amplifier, thus allowing the audience to hear your music through loud speakers. Using an instrument pickup will allow you to play a range of dynamics that you otherwise would not be able to do without the use of an amplifier. The downside of using an amplifier is that the majority of the sound you make will be heard from loudspeakers, and not from the double bass itself. This sound is less natural, but hey, it gets the job done effortlessly when it comes to producing a loud enough sound that can be heard over all the extraneous noises that occur during those outside concerts. 

List of pickups to choose from.

1. KNA pickup DB-1

The KNA pickup DB-1 pickup claims that it delivers 'natural sound' by not modifying the instruments sound in the amplification process. Just remember than any sound that is produced by a loudspeaker will always be different than the sound made by the wooden double bass frame. So the company that made this claim might be boasting just a tad bit.  

 2. Fisherman BP-100

The Fisherman BP-100 is a standard pickup that can be used by all acoustic instruments. By looking at the comments on Amazon about this product, it seems like the installation process for this pickup can be quite difficult and time consuming. You have to use screws to install it, so if you are OK with screwing things, then you should not have a problem! however, if you prefer not to do it yourself, then I am sure you can hire someone from Ikea to do it for you (lol). 

Meyers 'mini microphone' pickup

The Meyers double bass pickup is actually a really small microphone that attaches itself to the body of the double bass. Remember, a normal pickup works by using magnets to convert the vibrations into electronic signals. This pickup works the same way, since it does use a microphone that uses magnets, but in this case, the microphone wont 'pickup' the sort of sounds made when you accidentally hit the bass with your elbow (boom!), or the small buzzing sounds that occur when you pluck your bass. 

This is the end of the list. Thanks for reading!

I promised Great Dr. Odunga to post this testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his emails are odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and odungaspelltemple@outlook.com You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,450 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about coinsrecovery organization. I contacted him via (COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE AT GMAIL DOT C OM)and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year.
