Nanoflex Pickup with Preamp for double bass.

Double Bass is a trade mark instrument for the planet earth. Its beautiful design and incredible frequency response make this instrument to be loved and used in symphony, jazz and contemporary music. 

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 double bass 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.

This is  why the best cello players in the world are using the Shadow SH 965 NFX double bass Nanoflex pickup system.

The pickup mounts easily under the bridge and senses the vibrations of the bridge and the body. Control unit with volume and tone potentiometer mounts on double bass. The control unit has input for 2 pickups and standard 1/4" jack output, 3V cell battery (2032). Mounts easily and provides 1 year lifetime.
