Schatten BJ-02 Std Banjo Pickup

Schatten BJ-02 Std Banjo Pickup

The Schatten BJ-02 Std is a high quality, high output pickup designed to work with any banjo. Tremendous sound is yours, whether you play a 5 string, a 4 string or even a 6 string banjo. It will work flawlessly on any kind of banjo.

Designed for All Banjos

The BJ-02 Std.pickup is installed on the underside of the banjo head and is usually placed directly under and inline with the center foot of the bridge. The pickup is totally non-damping. It does not interfere in any way whatsoever with natural acoustic tone or output of the banjo.

This particular placement of the sensor allows the pickup to "hear" just what the banjo is doing. The center foot of the bridge is driving the element directly for maximum output and clarity. This same placement of the element also gives the BJ-02 Std. its' superior anti-feedback characteristics. It is very difficult for feedback to drive the pickup in reverse due to the overall stiffness of the bridge area.

Installation

Installation of the pickup system takes about ten minutes and everything that you need to complete the installation is included with the system.

On a 'normal' banjo with a three footed bridge the pickup is to be installed on the underside of the head directly under the centre foot of the bridge.

On tenor banjos or banjos having a two footed bridge, the suggested placement for the pickup is on the underside of the head directly under the bass side bridge foot.

Custom Walnut Jack

The BJ-02 Std. comes with our NBJA walnut bodied jack assembly with a 1/4" output jack. The BJ-02 Pro features a 1/4" output jack with a passive volume control. These jack assemblies nestle in tight against the tensioning hooks and simply clamp to those tensioning hooks in the same way that a normal arm rest attaches.

Passive System

This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).

If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of the Schatten Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.

Each pickup is hand built and tested in the Schatten workshop to ensure good sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase.

The jack includes a mounting clamp that is designed to clamp onto the tension rails. The maximum distance between rails is about 2" and the minimum distance about 1 1/16". The rosewood jack casing mounts in the front of the rails, while the straight metal back rail is placed behind the rails, and two screws are provided to pull the two pieces together, providing a very secure and solid clamp for the jack. Note that the distance between rails may vary, even on the same banjo.
