The Realist Upright Bass acoustic transducer was designed by Ned Steinberger in association with David Gage.
A primary design goal was to create a transducer that would work equally well for pizzicato and arco through commonly used amplifiers, without requiring a pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear. A flexible element fits under the bridge foot so that it picks up sound from both the bridge and top plate.

Produces a rich and powerful response that is acoustically true for both pizzicato and arco without adjusting controls. No preamp necessary.
Easy installation. Just plug it in.
