It uses a \"sandwich\" design with two piezos layered together, one facing up and one down. This allows for a quick and simple wedge-mount into a bridge wing and ensures even transmission from the strings and from the body of the instrument. \u003c\/span\u003e_x005F\n\\n_x005F\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e_x005F\n\\n_x005F\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Bass Max is very sturdy and has a high output signal that is balanced over the whole tone range. It is suitable for both arco and pizzicato playing styles because it transmits a broader mid frequency range. This enables the musician to change playing modes without having to adjust the amplifier. The connection jack is held in place by a special attachment clamp mounted at the A and D strings between the tailpiece and bridge. \u003c\/span\u003e_x005F\n\\n_x005F\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e_x005F\n\\n_x005F\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe wrapped cable eliminates disturbance.
