The Band2 is an instant-fit pick-up which Velcro’s to itself around the the body of the instrument. It requires no alteration of the instrument itself and generates a strong passive (no batteries required) signal which can usually be plugged straight into a mixing desk or combo amp. The multiple pick-up elements of the Double Bass version of The Band2 are tuned specifically for Double Bass and deliver a lively, tailored passive signal.

The Band2 is used equally in folk/rock and classical situations and is a favourite with sound engineers and players alike, as it offers far greater volume levels before feedback, compared to mics. You can avoid being tied down to mic stands and The Band2 cuts feedback, bowing noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter.

Best piezo pickup for double bass

Have tried a fair few piezo pickups for my bass, including blending a bridge wing piezo with a Neumann MCM114 microphone.

All options so far have sounded artificial, with only the microphone allowing the bass to sound realistic only to fail on stage due to feedback from front of house or foldback. I used a Headway EDB2 HE to blend the mic and pickup, remove frequencies and flip phase to fix feedback, no luck.

Now using TheBand2 from Headway, along with the fantastic EQ on the EDB2 H.E preamp, I’ve tuned this fabulous pickup to actually sound like a real wooden acoustic instrument. I’ll be posting a review on YouTube of this as there is no quality review of this pickup.

No feedback issues, just real double bass sound without issues. Thank you for shipping this so quickly so I could have it in time for the gig. Cheers! 🦊
