DeArmond Tone Boss - Magnetic Soundhole Pickup Passive Sound Hole Pickup
What a great piece of kit! The pickup is well made, the package contains all you need (with the exception only of a drill bit to fit the end jack) and all at a bargain price. This is third time lucky for me as I've already tried two more famous pickup brands, neither of which proved successful. Having now bought two of the DeArmond pickups - one for use in a six-string parlor, the other in a Blueridge tenor - my experience is that the pickup is easy to fit (even into instruments with a relatively small soundholes) and being a humbucker, it's quiet. I play through Yamaha and Boss amps and the sound produced is consistently great, with bass, mid and treble all performing well and only modest EQ'ing required. A big advantage for me has been the ability to adjust the individual pole piece, allowing just the right string-to-string balance - especially useful with the four-string tenor. Bax Music was the best on price and the service was great, as always.
