A rough demo of my '01 EBMM Musicman Sterling with a piezo bridge and 3-band eq. Ideally, it might show a little of what the piezo option can do for the sound. (to me, it doesn't add 'treble' so much as adds 'presence' to the sound) Blend in to taste :)

You might notice me fade the mic for the voice in and out when I start to play, altering the sound of the bass for a moment at the beginnings...sorry. It helps make sure you're hearing just the mag pickup, though...

If this sucks, chalk it up purely to operator error on my part. It's a killer bass, and dead-stock.

  • it adds an accoustic guitar sound....great...nice video...thnx

  • Thanks for watching!

  • Thanks very much for this dem - I have piezos on my old Yamaha TRB5P and never really figured out how they worked. PS you have great vibrato.

  • Thanks! Glad it helped you get a handle on your bass!

  • This is a great sounding instrument. It makes me wanna buy one.

    Great review. Thanks a lot!

  • These guys really make a solid instrument, and it's pretty much impossible to make them sound truly 'bad.' Best thing is for me, is they really don't need any mods--factory is the way to go.

    Thanks for watching!

  • Great review... well done!!!!

  • I'm not a bass player (just guitar) but I came here to look at piezos ... so this is a very helpful vid, mate! And your playing's pretty good too! Thanks.

  • Great Video. I am looking to upgrade my Jazz bridge and pickups and was trying to find a piezo bridge. Anyone know of a good brand?

  • This video definitely makes me wanna buy one! Amazing sound.

  • jorts...

  • I just came

  • @mookie2637 what you can call "vibrato" on a bass with frets ;)

  • Thanks Bro... Just took my Fender Deluxe Jazzer to the shop to be told that it had one! Never heard of it,, can't wait to get it back!! Thanks so much for a great run through... All the Best from over the Pond :)

  • Well done and explained. Wish I could add a piezo to my Sterling H :(

  • makes me really think about adding a piezo to my future bass. I love the pure piezo tone!
