Bob and Mark Gollihur UPRIGHT BASS SPECIALISTS... ON THE WEB SINCE 1997
In business on the web since 1997, we continue to offer a varied line of Pickups and Microphones, Preamps, and Amplifiers for Double Bass at very good prices. Over the years, we've added Upright and Electric Upright Basses, Parts, Strings, Cases and Stands, Bows, and many other useful, quality products for bass players.You benefit from shopping with us because our experience and focus means that you get real answers to your questions, from bassists! You can see that our product descriptions are in-depth and detailed, because they are most often based on our own use of the gear, rather than the generic "manufacturer blurbs" you'll find on most other websites. We only carry gear that we would (and often DO) confidently use ourselves: anything we consider selling has to pass the "Bob & Mark Test" -- or you won't see it in our auctions or on our website. Contact us by telephone or email if you have any questions about the item in this listing, or anything to do with upright bass. We're here to help!

The Ehrlund Acoustic Pickup (EAP) is a linear microphone for acoustic instruments. We emphasize the term "linear microphone" because this is what Göran Ehrlund (inventor and manufacturer of the pickup) calls it. It uses a special patented "contact mic" sort of design to sense both vibration and sound from your musical instrument's top. Ehrlund Acoustic Pickup (EAP)Ehrlund recommends their mic pickup for use on a large variety of instruments, including violin, acoustic guitar, banjo and many others. In our own tests on upright basses, we found that the Ehrlund mic pickup has a very open, quite "microphone-like" sound - realistic, and not very "direct" sounding (as pickups can often be.) However, it doesn't have many of the drawbacks of a microphone - among them, increased feedback, easily picking up other nearby instruments onstage. So the initial impression is that you get the realism of a mic with the convenience of a pickup. It's almost too good to be true! Ehrlund Acoustic Pickup (EAP)However - you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true... As with most any pickup, mic, or other amplification gear, know this: how your instrument sounds acoustically directly affects how it sounds when amplified. If you haven't changed your strings in 15 years, or your instrument buzzes or has weird vibrations when you play certain notes... all of these things will probably be apparent through the EAP. It is, after all, a contact mic which combines both vibration and "through the air" sounds to create its tone. Assuming a quality instrument, though, people using the EAP with a variety of acoustic instruments report that it reproduces open, realistic highs, and has transparent sound - sounding very much like a "real" microphone on guitar, cello and upright bass. This means that this is a pickup that should sound like "your instrument, only louder" - which is what most of us are looking for! It's super easy to install; the element is simply surface-mounted with a non-permanent, non-marking adhesive putty (tack-it). So you can easily try many locations on the instrument surface, which is good; the pickup's tone can change rather noticeably from (even quite small!) adjustments in location and placement. So it's wise to spend a little time before yo
