Product description
For few centuries bass makers world wide selected the best woods to make, create and build the upright bass as it sounds today. Many hours of trimming the top and the bridge are invested to create the ultimate bass sound. Shadow's Nanoflex technology makes no compromise in preserving these features. It is built to reproduce the instrument vibrations authentically with every move of the bow in all positions. No need of instrument modification was a must in developing this absolutely noise and hum free violin pickup system. Nanoflex pickups do not only take the vibrations of the strings like common undersaddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings AND the body of the instrument simultaneously. No other pickup technology gives you this high level of sound reproduction. Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created.

Purchased this item in june 2015, now its November 2015 and this item is faulty. It creates a lot of feedback which is not fun when playing for audiences. I have had it analyzed and reviewed by my music professor and other bassist. Basically i need a new pickup. I am a Music Major and still paying tuition therefore its important to have an item that will work at least for 2-3 years, not 2-3 months.
5.0 out of 5 starsIf you have any sort of questions or issues, just contact Greg. He will help.

Absolutely excellent product and customer service most places could learn a lot from. My old Microvox sounded good but these are much lighter, far less obvious and I believe they sound noticeably better. I was against modifying my melodeon but the clips for the Feather mics are very small and they are also black so they are virtually invisible against the instrument so I have superglued them on. That makes fitting the mics a ten second job. I believe clear plastic versions are available which would virtually disappear against a lighter coloured background. To quote Arnie, “I’ll be back!” I want one for my mandolin now!
4.0 out of 5 starsGood simple kit, but position it carefully

I was impressed how much more punch I got from it than the simpler version. Easy to install. Don’t believe the no feedback promise - it’s positional. I initially set the pre-amp low on the strings underneath the bass, on the cotton wrapping, and the feedback was horrendous. I moved it up closer to the bridge and it’s been fine since.

I researched several products and this one appealed as the pickup pads under the bridge feet are this such that I didn't have to alter the bridge. It was easy to fit. It is easy to control. The sound from my speaker is true to the bass.
