Applying
The
Pickup |
You can either apply the pickup discs permanently, or so
that they can be easily removed. Using double-sided adhesive
tape makes it easy to remove the pickups, and super glue (cyanoacrylate)
creates a permanent bond. Using super glue also increases
the output level because the pickups make direct contact with
the bridge material. Regardless of which method you choose,
mount the pickups so that their metal side faces the bridge.
Note: To prevent rattling sounds from making their way into
the pickup, make sure that the wires leading to the pickups
don’t contact any of the instrument’s surfaces.

The 1/4" jacks attach
to the tailpiece by using the supplied self-adhesive dual-lock
hook-and-loop strip. |
| Usage Tips |
Bass amps are best suited
for reproducing low frequencies, but some guitar amps and many
keyboard amps are also capable of handling the extreme range.
For the most natural sound, don’t turn the amp’s treble
too high—especially if you mount the pickups with super
glue. Using a preamp gives you greater control over the sound,
especially if you are plugging into a P.A. system rather than
an amplifier. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested. |
