Like the old little bitty Ashbory Bass?

What is the pickup then?

My bitty Ashbory still turns in performances that people mistake as being from an upright bass fiddle...

Aren't the Ashbory strings more like thick o-rings stretched out? Rubber, that is? I'm thinking of the Fernandes bass that I have played a couple of times at stores. From what I recall, they were nearly the same thing. Same with the U-bass ukulele bass with the same rubbery strings on them. These strings are probably much more stiff from what John describes.

John - I think the RS buzzers are pretty much what the K+K line of pickups are. http://kksound.com/products/doublebigtwin.php I have their mini pure western installed in my Larrivée acoustic guitar.

What are you going to use for a pre-amp? Self-made I'm guessing.
