Double Bass Accessory Needed to Hold Pickup Wires / Wireless Input

[William Sexton]

Hi there. I have a pickup on my double bass's bridge, and currently have 'dangling wires' when I plug my (wireless) input into my pickups. I am seeking some type of bag, or satchel, if you will, to hold my wireless input, similar to this image.

That looks like a shortish bow quiver that has been re-purposed. I know I've seen ones like this, but can't remember where... Maybe check the Lemur and Gollihur websites...

A very common wireless pouch is made by neotech. It is black neoprene and will hide behind your tailpiece.

Cultrvultr, thank you so much! THis is exactly for what I'm looking. Is this the product? It is large enough to wrap around the tailpiece?

It has a belt loop. Use a soft cloth or Velcro strap or even a shoelace to tie it in place.

I think gollihur has some pages on how to attach preamps to the tailpiece. This is similar.

Depending on you your wireless unit you may need line-of-sight. You can experiment a bit to see which side of the tailpiece works best for you.

I once tied my Schertler preamp to the back of my tailpiece with shoelaces. Took it off after two minutes. The weight had an amazing and horrible effect on the sound of my Geiger.
