## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TONE
*by D***E on November 28, 2025*

Easy to install. Awesome tone. Super high quality. Much better than my original K&K Bass Max.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with this pickup.
*by M***. on June 24, 2025*

Great sound. Really much better than expected. Was easy to install, did not have to move the bridge or loosen the strings of the upright bass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So easy to install and sounds great on my Palatino upright electric bass!
*by F***O on February 1, 2023*

I'm using this on my Palatino upright electric bass because the stock electronics are just so noisy. This was extremely easy to install. I used calipers to measure the existing gap under the bridge adjuster, and then after I added this pickup, I turned the adjuster until the gap matched the previously measured distance. Sounds great to me and no noise!
