Does anyone knows where can I test and buy a good quality violin pickup around Selangor/KL area?
Or anyone letting go good quality used violin pickup?
I need it for bar gigs.

I would suggest just getting an electric violin because violin pickups will feedback a lot in noisy environments. Else look for Shadows Nanoflex undersaddle pickups, buy from ebay. But do note your violin will sound vastly different since there is something slotted in under your bridge, and bridge will need to be modified as well to accomodate the pickup.

If you're interested in cheap electric violins I have a heavily upgraded Stagg, with Wittner tailrests and shoulder rests.

I actually have an electric violin, still prefer acoustic.
Kinda wanna try out fishman V-200 pickup, reviews are fairly decent overall.
Thanks for your suggestions

Learn how to project~~ or just get a Strad!!

On a serious note, an electric violin is fine if you're looking for an electric-ish sound.
What are you trying to achieve btw? Is the bar really that noisy that you need a pickup to be heard?
