Brilliant for gypsy jazz guitars!!!!
I use these on all my acoustic gypsy guitars - you can slide the button under the bridge between the feet, and once you have the correct pressure, the resulting signal is excellent. For the money, this is a superb pickup for gypsy jazz guitars. I fitted one to my vintage EKO fretless bass too, and again, the sound is excellent.
The only slight negative is that Shadow changed the design for the attachment point for the 1/4 inch socket. It's now flimsy velcro, which has a habit of coming off and pulling the cable - not good at all. The remedy is to build a little plastic box and glue the socket into it. Then you use strong double sided tape to stick the box to the guitar. Come on Shadow, bring back the old plastic mount!!!
It's still an excellent pick up and totally worth 5 stars

Great value for the money
I'm rather new to the world of the double bass and play pizzicato with a jazz combo. This is my first pickup. I tried it on 3 basses and the sound is good for my ear. On most amps I have to lower the treble frequencies to get the sound right.
Easy to mount: I usually use a folded piece of paper as a wedge.
Overall, a great purchase especially for this money.
