Upright Bass Pickup Comparison - Fishman Full Circle vs. Fishman BP100

This video is intended to inform upright bassists about the sound of the Fishman Full Circle pickup vs. the Fishman BP100 pickup. The mic'ed track allows you to hear the natural sound of the bass. No EQ. Flat as can be. I hope this helps bassists who might be searching for their next pick up. Thanks!

the bp100 reminds me the sound of paul chambers ;) but when you play with those pickup,expecially playing with drums, you need necessarily a preamp to have a good volume?or you plug in directly into your bass amp?thanks

[EJHDad]

@256peppe Nope. But a preamp won't hurt!

thanks for the vid... have you ever used a Rev Solo? It'd be awesome if you had a demo of that one too

[EJHDad]

@dr05guitar Never used the REV Solo. I have colleagues that have. I think the FC is superior.

[dr05guitar]

@EJHDad I actually ended up purchasing a Rev Solo a short while back, it sounds great with my bass, it's a pretty natural sound. I haven't compared it with a FC on my bass, but they say every bass is different, so a FC may not even sound as good on mine... I guess it's all trial and error for your specific instrument.

@EJHDad That's cool, thanks

I bought a BP100 about 18 years ago for nearly 100GBP and have struggled to get a good sound even thru an old 15" Polytone.

3 years ago bought from ebay a single paddle pickup for 20GBPand it's fab.The sellers ID is rejsew.PS, I have no affiliation to this seller.

@dr05guitar Threads up. Sorry it took so long!

BP100 might sound good after hours of EQing and the rare occasion that it isn't slipping off.

Thank you SOO much!

After hearing soo much trash-talk about the BP 100 on forums, all saying to choose the FullCircle any day; I'm glad I didn't now!

My brand new BP-100 is in the mail as I type, thanks again :)
