A Fishman Standard Designed for Amplified Double Bass
The Micro Full Circle is designed for those who want to recover, once amplified, the woody character and responsiveness of an "acoustic" double bass. Its approach prioritizes definition and precision while preserving the instrument's richness, to better manage the differences between pizzicato, arco, and slap playing.
For Which Musicians and Situations?
This pickup is intended for double bassists seeking a reliable solution for stage, monitoring, and recording without altering the timbre. It is suitable for jazz, amplified classical, contemporary music, and rockabilly contexts, whenever you need a usable, nuanced, and stable signal.
Settings, Integration, and Preamplification
The precise adjustment allows you to select the tone best suited to your instrument and touch, finding the balance between attack, body, and definition. Adjustment on the instrument is quick via the knobs, facilitating fine-tuning according to the venue or your amplification setup. To optimize sound quality and frequency management, the use of a preamp is recommended (notably models with modes dedicated to double bass such as the Platinum Stage or Platinum Pro EQ), though it remains not mandatory. Finally, for optimal results and perfect compatibility with your double bass, a professional installation is recommended.
