Description
If you play upright, you already know the BP-100 by reputation — it’s the pickup that made bridge-mounted piezo pickups the standard for gigging bassists. This dual-element piezo-ceramic unit clamps onto your bridge in minutes, no drilling or permanent modification required, and gets you plugged in without fuss before a set.
Tonally, it leans into what pizz players actually want: deep sustain, quick note definition, and a direct string sound that doesn’t get lost in the low end. It tracks the attack of the string well, which matters when you’re locking in with a drummer and need every note to speak clearly through the mix. This unit is gently used and fully functional — a solid way to get Fishman’s proven design without paying new-unit price.
Pairing note: the BP-100 will work straight into most bass amps or DI boxes, but it’s designed to shine with an impedance-matching preamp. Fishman’s own Pro-EQ Platinum Bass, Pro-EQ II, or B-II preamps are the recommended companions if you want to shape the tone further and get the most headroom out of the signal — though none of that is required to get a usable sound.
