David Gage The Realist Bass Transducer Vs. Audix F90: Sones De Mexican Standup Standoff

December 26, 2008
David Gage The Realist Bass Transducer Sones de Mexico

While a mic'd standup bass will usually sound superior to one amplified via transducer, the microphone introduces a whole host of problems that a working musician like Juan Díes of Sones de Mexico doesn't need to deal with. That's why Juan and the other bowed-instrument players in Sones use the David Gage The Realist pickups.

Here, Juan compares the sound and output of The Realist to that of an Audix F90 mini-condenser microphone to show us that being a realist doesn't mean having to compromise on tone.

[JUAN DIES AND FRIENDS PERFORMING]

JUAN DIES: My name is Juan Dies with Sones de Mexico Ensemble, and I'm here in my home to show some of the solutions that we found for ethnic folk musicians for whom electroacoustic instruments are not made.

For example, we have this bass that has the Realist. This is a transducer microphone that sits on the bass on the bridge, and we have the fiddle also that has another style of the Realist. It produces kind of a more sharp tone than other alternatives like a microphone, which may catch more of the deeper bass sound.

For demonstration, I added an Audix F90. It's a condenser microphone. They work with phantom power, and it gives us a more [JUAN DIES PLAYING BASS].
