Schatten TC Passive Tricone Resonator Guitar Pickup
The TC pickups are designed specifically for tricone type resonator guitars. For biscuit bridge guitars, use the Schatten NR series pickups. For spider bridge guitars, use the Schatten RG series pickups. The Schatten TC pickup can be installed in a non-invasive manner with minimal or no modifications to your instrument. This pickup has proven to be very popular with our players and artist and it provides great sound quality with good anti-feedback characteristics. Passive Model, No Preamp Players who will be plugging directly into a ‘normal’ guitar amp will find that they get great sound quality from the TC in passive form. No preamp should be required in this situation. Should you require the preamp but don’t want to put it and a battery inside your tricone then you should purchase the TC in passive format and add one of the Schatten outboard Preamp/DI units to your pickup system. If you already own an outboard guitar preamp, the TC pickups in passive format should work properly with just about anything you might have.

I cut a lot of low end and a little high end,…
Unlike the other reviewers, I have not had a good experience with this pickup. With a straight install it has a huge hump in the frequency response at about 880 hz – in other words, the note A – you can hear it as a ringing sound on that note. This produces a strong ringing sound that I can minimise by using a preamp with sweepable EQ centred on that frequency and cut -20db, but you can hear that I’m trying to EQ out a problem. Apart from this very loud ringing, I think it might sound great,…
