Item Description
The Underwood pickup for double bass was one of the first pickups designed specifically for the instrument and has been a popular choice for 40 years. Each individual pickup is assembled and tested by hand to ensure high quality, superb craftsmanship and a durable pickup solution.

Each Underwood consists of two piezo elements which fit under the wings of the bridge beneath the G and E strings. The fit is very important to the sound of the Underwood and detailed installation instructions are included. The elements are on average 4.44 mm thick.

Minor modification to the bridge may be required. If the bridge slots are too narrow the slot must be widened using medium grain sandpaper or a small file. This is relatively easy to do on most bass bridges. Wood should be removed from the wing rather than the leg of the bridge. If the bridge slot is too wide, use the shims (provided) to keep the pickup in place.

In either case the fit should be neither too loose nor too firm, as this can affect the sound quality or the structural integrity of the pickup. The 6.35mm output jack is mounted on the tailpiece using the strap provided.

The Underwood can be left on the instrument with no noticeable effect on the acoustic sound. A preamp is not mandatory but can be useful for additional sound shaping and control. Feel free to contact us at bassico for more information.
