Warm and even sound - but beware of humming

12.09.2015

I have a 5-string double bass and the Shadow SH950 pickup. It reproduces the acoustic tones quite evenly and with a warm, woody tone. Combined with a GK amp MB-112 it really speaks out.

I have have now got the repair shop at Thomann engaged to fix the buzz or humming problem that comes after a while using this model.It is the second time around for this problem.

I feel that The Underwood pickup is far better than Shadow - notwithstanding the same pickup principle - the Underwood is more durable and stable.

Next time i will go for a microphone solution with a swan neck mounted on the tailpiece instead.

good pickup , worth the price

03.12.2015

I have been using this pickup for a few months now and have no issues with it, good all round sound, easy to use. The pads were fairly thick so i had to sand down the bridge a bit to slot the pads in but this wasnt much trouble. Would definitely recommend this pick up.
It is easy to put on and take off and have lent it out to friends who have used it and gave positive feedback on it.
the velcro sticky strip you get with it is handy but can only be put on one bass, otherwise you'd have to find another strip.
