RB-1 Player Upright Bass Pickup (Passive)
The RB-1 (passive) consist of an RB bass bridge sensor pre-wired to a small black jack assembly that easily clips between the strings just above the tailpiece.
The RB sensor element is designed to fit in the wing slot of a bass bridge. Normal placement of the sensor is in the bass side slot.
The jack assembly simply clips between the D and A strings just above the tailpiece. The output jack itself is a standard 1/4".
The passive RB-1 works perfectly well and sounds good when plugged straight into any decent quality bass amp. As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. Note that a preamp will be needed for use when plugged directly into a mixer or P.A. system.

The RB sensor has a nominal thickness of 0.25" (6.35mm) and requires a wing slot opening of approximately 0.225" (5.7).
The fit of the sensor in the slot is meant to be snug and there is intended to be a slight interference fit. The sensor will compress slightly as it is pushed into the wing slot.
