I really like my Full Circle on my Christopher, but I'm thinking about trying the Realist on this. Any thoughts on that from anyone?
Also, my teacher has suggested going gut, at least for a while to let the top get out from under the steel of the Dominants for awhile. I'm thinking more like D+G Olivs and E+A Spiros. Again, if anyone has thoughts on that, I'd love to hear them.

Brian, these Basses are often very thickly wooded. Mine was re-graduated Top and
Back changing the tap-tone from 'thunk' to 'booommm'. I used
Obligatos on mine but it had Spiros when I bought it.
I think the guy who bought mine is using some type of Gut Combo as well but you would have to ask Arnold about that.
On the pickup, my favorite has been the
Shadow Pickup that looks like an Underwood (if you can see it mounted in my Batchelder). I have used it on all of my Basses and even bowed with it in a few Orchestra concerts where and Amp was needed.
