Schatten Designs TC Passive Tricone Pickup

Schatten Designs TC Passive Tricone Pickup

The TC series of pickups provide a really good sounding pickup that can be mounted quickly and easily to Tricone instruments without having to drill any holes for anything when installing either the TC Std or TC Pro.
    

All TC's are passive pickups and are available with your choice of either an endpin jack or one of two jack assemblies (one with a volume control) - both of which simply adhere to the instrument and snuggle in right next to to the tailpiece.

The MVC jack assemblies give you a much more secure and reliable mounting for an output jack assembly than anything that clamps to the side of the instrument. These jack assemblies, which nestle in right next to the tail piece, are only a half an inch high.

For those players who need or want to use a preamp, choosing the basic TC or the TC Std and pairing that choice up with our Mini Pre belt clipable outboard preamp would be the way to go.

Features:

* Installs quickly - the sensing element attaches to the side of the 'T' bridge with 3M VHB tape adhesive.
* Excellent feedback resistance.
* Light weight. Does not alter the acoustic sound of the instrument.
* No modifications necessary - The Std and Pro model passive pickup systems may be mounted without drilling any holes.  
* Superb Sound.

Clean, clear sound reproduction.

     In passive format, this pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.). As with any passive pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add our Mini Pre belt clipable preamp.

Installation Instructions:

The low profile jack assembly is only 1/2" high and may be mounted either from a thin stand-off plate that adheres securely to the area under the tailpiece or may be mounted directly to the top with 3M VHB tape.
The MVCplus with volume control (shown right) provides a non-invasive means of putting an output jack assembly on a reso without damage.
