This is the most recent bass pick-up from the development team at Realist Acoustic. This pick-up, developed by Ned Steinberger and David Gage, takes advantage of Ned's out-of-the-box design combined with David'd unique understanding of how acoustic basses work. This version, the "XL" version, works with those bridges that have a wider adjuster.
This pick-up fits "at" the adjuster, pressed between the bridge and the wheel that lowers and raises your bridge. It is made of durable stainless steel, suited to endure the hundreds of pounds of pressure necessary to produce a sound from this location.
The amplified sound is focused, staying clear and round even when played at loud volumes.
This pick-up comes with a one-year warranty, but tends to last much much longer.
Because it fits at the adjuster, adjusters in the bass's bridge are necessary. Without adjusters, this pick-up cannot be installed.
