The RB-1 (passive) provides our RB bass bridge sensor pre-wired to a small black jack assembly that easily clips between the strings just above the tailpiece. The RB sensor element is designed to fit in the wing slot of a bass bridge. Normal placement of the sensor is in the bass side slot. Sound Clips: Clip 1 Technical Main Sensor: The RB sensor has a nominal thickness of 0.25" (6.35mm) and requires a wing slot opening of approximately 0.225" (5.7). The fit of the sensor in the slot is meant to be snug and there is intended to be a slight interference fit. The sensor will compress slightly as it is pushed into the wing slot. Black Jack Assembly: Provided with the RB-1, the black jack assembly simply clips between the D and A strings just above the tailpiece. The output jack itself is a standard 1/4". Installation Instructions: RB-1 (passive) pdf Amplification The passive RB pickup models work perfectly well and sound good when plugged straight into any decent quality bass amp. As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the ability to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add our Mini Pre belt clipable preamp. Show more
