R: OT: Upright Bass Pickup?

["luigimeloni74@libero.it" <luigimeloni74@libero.it>]

Hi Rick, in my work as a sound engineer I've tried various 
pickup/microphone 
configurations for the strings, and for the double-bass I've found a good 
solution in the Schaller double-bass pickup and in the Fishman (the 
Fishman has 
to be installed well, since it tends to distort on the Sforzato sequences 
and 
on the Staccato ones). Another solution could be the AKG C411L, which I've 
used 
both on violin, viola, cello and double bass and sounds good... Otherwise 
he 
could opt for an electric double-bass, like the Steinberger (it makes a 
way 
more affordable line for violin and double basses), but then he would lose 
a 
lot of the acoustic double-bass sound.
