The Realist Docking Station Universal Volume Attenuator
Volume Control for All… The Realist Docking Station is a no-fuss dock and volume knob that works with any acoustic string-bass pick-up.
This “Universal Volume Attenuator” mounts to the instrument’s tailpiece without glue or fasteners. The ¼-inch input and ¼-inch output allows seamless integration to player’s current set-up. The volume attenuation is provided by a sleek anodized knob clearly visible and within the player’s reach so that he or she can clearly adjust on-the-fly.
The Docking Station also features The Jack-Pottm, a potentiometer that allows the resistance to be bypassed entirely. The Jack-Pot allows the player to “click” into a final, unresisted stage beyond the loudest setting. A la This Is Spinal Tap, this pot let’s you “go all the way up to eleven.”
The Docking Station solves jack mounting problems, too. The cable is dressed away neatly from the ¼” output without additional hardware. The tension of the strings holds The Docking Station to the tailpiece, like the “loop” from the industry standard Realist “Copperhead” pick-ups.
The Realist Docking Station Universal Volume Attenuator, designed by David Gage and Ned Steinberger, is an easy-to-use dock and volume knob that works with any acoustic Upright String Double Bass pick-up allowing the bassist to adjust volume on-the-fly. This no-fuss dock installs to the tailpiece without fasteners. Simply loosen the strings, mount, and tighten. It also features “The Jack-Pott”, a potentiometer that allows the resistance to be bypassed entirely. The Docking Station solves jack mounting problems by dressing the cable away neatly from the 1/4″ output without additional hardware. The Realist Docking Station Universal Volume Attenuator for upright bass pickups is an elegant solution answering the nagging bassist question: Where do you mount the jack for your pickup?
