I know absolutely nothing about upright basses, and almost as little about pickups. I did a search and found... http://www.fishman.com/product/bp-100-c ... ass-pickup http://www.fishman.com/product/full-cir ... ass-pickup http://www.uptonbass.com/Double-Bass-Pi ... LO-II-RS2/ http://www.realistacoustic.com/realist_ ... ?type=bass There are some comparisons on youtube for what those are worth.... |

Hi heery,for the kind of bridge you'll be making any good under saddle piezo will do. Early on I used a fishman under saddle routed and epoxyed into a bridge. It worked well but bridges wear out , that means a new piezo. Not a good long term proposition for me. For just one bass I'd get a K&K "pure preamp", it clips on your belt. I use one with a K&K bridge piezo on my double bass. The pickups Jim searched are all for double basses , very tall bridges. |
