My New Pfretzschner

[Brian Casey]

since I've followed up on strings, I thought I'd share where I've settled on the pickup. I had been using a realist for over a year - again, the gear that Glen uses (if it's good enough for him...) But you may have noticed that the bridge on this bass is cut for the Wilson W4 system. Nearly a year ago I found a guy locally who was selling his Wilson W4 and I was able to get it for what I beleive to be a screaming deal. Now I still have the realist installed, but I rarely use it. I've found that the Wilson is extermely versatile and has the clarity that I feel is missing from the Realist. Using a simple AI Contra Series, I still regularly get compliments on my sounds, from both bass players and non-bass players.

I think I've found the gear that works for me, so I can focus on 'shedding and playing, and getting more gigs.
