The BP-100 is a bridge mounted, piezo-ceramic pickup. It senses string
vibrations via two piezo elements, fastened between adjacent string pairs.
The elements are held to the bridge with two felt lined metal clips. The pickup
is terminated to a specially modified Switchcraft 1/4" jack.
The BP-100, reproduces a very deep bass tone with emphasis on the funda-
mental pitch, unlike most other bass pickups which tend to emphasize the 1st
overtone. The BP-100 responds evenly throughout all playing registers and
resists feedback at high volume levels. The pickup installs non-destructively
in minutes and can easily be transferred to another instrument.

INSTALLATION
Prepare the Bridge
1. The area of the bridge where the elements will be mounted must be flat-
tened with a sanding block or a flat file. Otherwise, the performance of the
pickup will be adversely affected. Most problems with the pickup's perfor-
mance can be remedied by flattening the bridge face.
Use a 120-150 grit sanding block or a file to flatten the area that will make
direct contact with the elements. Check the flatness of the bridge face with
the edge of a steel ruler or single-edged razor blade.
