Ebony Adjustable Bridge With Built In Full Range Pickup

...choosing a pickup for an arched top mando?

Features:

Clarity - Superior volume and balance from string to string.
Cleaner, crisper sound reproduction than ever before.

Secure - The MVC jack assemblies that come with the M-02 Std and M-02 Pro give you a much more secure and reliable mounting for an output jack assembly than anything that clamps to the side of the instrument.

Schatten M-05 Series For Mandolin

Stick-On Pickup Attaches To The Existing Bridge

...you don't have to change the bridge on your instrument in order to get a good sounding pickup.

Simple - The new M-05 Series of mandolin pickups for adjustable bridged instruments allows you add a pickup system to your mandolin without having to change your bridge or make any invasive changes to your instrument. Featuring our new MVC jack assemblies (which simply attach to the underside of the existing tailpiece), the M-05's offer a real alternative to pickups that require bridge replacement.

The M-05 sensor is small and light in weight. Measuring only 1/4" high by 1 1/2" in length it does not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument and will work on all normal' adjustable mandolin bridges. It will operate properly on Brekke's as well.

Secure - The MVC jack assemblies that come with the M-05 's give you a much more secure and reliable mounting for an output jack assembly than anything that clamps to the side of the instrument. The jack assembly, which nestles in right next to the tail piece, is only a half an inch high and mounts to the tailpiece (not to the body).
