Schatten Design's continuing quest to build the finest pickups, preamps, and related accessories in the world has produced some truly fine new products. Newly introduced at the 2010 Los Angeles NAMM show was a series of innovative pickups for Uprighnt Bass and for Steel String Acoustics. Also introduced was a new endpin jack preamp, The Player Preamp.

     Listening to our customers, as we always have, has helped to provided us with a greater insight into the types of pickups and products that are needed.

 

We're going to ask those players using  Schatten Pickups to send us their YouTube videos so that we can post them.

     Coming up next: I get a chance to get back to work on three new violin pickup designs that I've been playing with on and off over the last half a year. There's never enough time to get everything done when it's supposed to be, just too darn busy. To those that have been patiently waiting for that new solid body violin pickup....it is coming and it shouldn't be long. For the other two violin pickups, well you'll just have to see them when I'm finished - hopefully sometime later in the spring.
     Since I don't get holidays and I haven't had a break since before Christmas (what with new pickups and the NAMM show and all), I'm going to take off Friday through Monday....

     Well....we've just come off of a successful NAMM show in LA and managed to get out just in between the monsoons. Liked LA, glad to be home though. Ok, I just finished the design work, beta testing, and release of the RB Upright Bass Pickups and the UST series of under the saddle acoustic guitar pickups. Lot of work there, glad that's done. Those are some really fine new pickups.
     While we were at it, we introduced a whole line of Player series products with some really great low pricing - would you believe a nice new North American built (actually built right here in Canada) Endpin Jack Preamp - for less than Fifty Bucks?
Fifty Bucks! That's really good.
