“I've been using Fishman products for as long as I can remember, including the Full Circle Upright Bass Pickup and the Platinum Pro EQ analog preamp/DI.

The Full Circle is still the best upright bass pickup I've ever used. I've tried virtually every other pickup on the market and nothing beats my Fishman Full Circle. I have it on all of my upright basses. Of course, I wouldn't want to use this without my Platinum Pro EQ. This unit is packed with useful, useable features that I wouldn't want to be without, and enhances my Full Circle beautifully!

I'm a particular fan of the Low Cut variable high-pass filter, which removes unwanted sub-sonic frequencies. This is a wonderful feature, and is indispensable to me.

Fishman continues to produce world class, professional, high end products, and they simply “get it right” each & every time. I'm so honoured & proud to be using Fishman products and to have such a long standing, rewarding and fulfilling association with the company. Long may it continue!”

– Dave Swift, Bassist for Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra
