Question 1

Will this work for everyone ?

Accepted Answer

It should work for any double bass with a bridge and tailpiece (which should be every double bass to my knowledge).

Question 2

do i need to take a string off to mount this?

Accepted Answer

Hello, Thank you for the question. You don't need to take off the strings. Just simply install the piezo element in the eye hole of the bridge and then snake it under the strings as seen in the picture.

Question 3

Would a standard guitar amp cord work for the output?

Accepted Answer

Any standard instrument cable with 1/4" jack plugs will work connected to this pickup and amp.

Question 4

Is it better to use a balanced or an unbalanced cable with the kna db1?

Accepted Answer

Hello. Thanks for the question. To give the right answer to this question, we must take into account many factors that could have an impact. It depends on what is the input of the amplifier and what is also the preamplifier of the equipment. Will it be plugged into the console, at what distance and such things also matter. Without knowing what you have as equipment, it is too difficult to give an answer.

In general, for home conditions and short distances in ordinary equipment - unbalanced cable will do the job. If it is to be connected to a mixing console to which many other power and signal cables are already connected, it is good to be balanced, provided that the input of the equipment is adapted for such a cable.

To be more specific, please contact us and tell us what equipment you have and in what environment you are going to use the pickup. Write us at: info@knapickups.com
