JOIN THE REVOLUTION!!! The Revolution SOLO II Double Bass Pickup Handmade in the USA by Upton String Instrument Co. CLICK HERE!!! to read what satisfied customers are saying about the REVOLUTION SOLO II Are a double bass player in search of a great pickup for your double bass? Look no further! The Revolution SOLO II Double Bass Pickup has been organically constructed to accurately reproduce the natural sound of your bass. Handmade with European Spruce in our Upton Bass workshop, The Revolution Solo II is a “transparent†pickup, meaning that it sounds like which ever bass it’s installed on. The Revolution Solo II Double Bass Pickup does not presuppose that a player’s primary need in a pickup is a “big bass†tone. Instead, the Revolution Solo II Bass Pickup allows for consistent mid and high ranges as well as a clear, booming low-end sound. If you are searching for natural tone and realistic presence, experience The Revolution SOLO II Double Bass Pickup. The only double bass pickup that is aesthetically and tonally true to your double bass. (Patent Pending) The Revolution Solo II is the successor of the original Revolution Solo double bass pickup. Our new RS2 upright bass pickup includes the following dramatic improvements: 1) Our newly designed custom piezo is more powerful and efficient. We've reduced power-robbing sub-harmonic frequencies and drastically lowered the impedance; making our new piezo capable of broader tonal range. This virtually eliminates the need for pre-amps, making the Revolution Solo II compatible with nearly every amplifier on the market! 2) All audio connectors have been upgraded to fully-shielded pro-audio connectors. 3) An after-length dampener* has been added that can be used as an optional item and installs easily within seconds. BECOME ONE WITH YOUR SOUND - Experience The Revolution SOLO II Double Bass Pickup!!! *We have found some basses perform better when amplified with some minor after-length dampening. "I put the pickup on my second bass and it really sounds very good. I was impressed also by the overall output volume. I think you have a good product, sir!"- Rufus Reid. "The sound of the pickup, on both pizzicato and arco, is really true. And it's not just the sound, but also the feel. By this I mean that when I'm playing the bass with the pickup attached, it feels like I'm playing acoustically, getting the full vibration response from the bass, rather than just a pickup sound from the strings. This is fantastic, especially when I'm using the bow. When I use the bow with other pickups, I feel like I can't really play into the string, so I don't get the full response of the vibrating string, resulting in a loss of tone coloration, natural dynamics, etc. With your pickup this problem is greatly diminished; I'm playing through an amp, but the attention is still on the sound of the music and the bass, not on the pickup. Rhythmically, too, there is an immediacy of response to the attack, and sound that really reproduces the feel of playing acoustically. To sum it up, for the quality and simplicity, not to mention the price, this is simply amazing - affordability for such quality!" - Ken Filiano, NYC jazz bassist "I was in the studio recording a film score and I used the pick-up along with a mic and the sound was really great; the engineer even commented on how good my bass sounded. That was a good sign. I used the pick-up again at a gig in town, and it sounded very clean and the gain was not an issue. I actually compared it with the Full-Circle and it is much louder. This is something that I was looking for. I am very happy with your product and now I only wish I hadn't bought another Full-Circle for my other double bass. I will keep you posted; there are more gigs in town that I will use it on and I am very excited. -John Herbert, NYC jazz bassist Right click and save this AVATAR to show your support on your favorite double bass forum!
