@Rosie C are you looking at actually using MIDI or using the GR55?

I had a lined fretless, so didn’t really run into this too much. Unfortunately, we’re going back maybe 8 or 9 years, so I can’t really recall the specifics.

For sale, My Vintage brand jazz. It has the vintage reissued Jaco alike body but an older fretted P bass neck. Full wilkinson hardware and pickups but with new cream covers. Nice player and ideal if you don't really like jazz width necks. I would estimate 4kg but not 100%, not particularly heavy though for sure. I have a shipping box so postage is negotiable, UK Only please. Cheers Craig.

Yes I remember reading the thread. I'm really into that and trying and restoring old amps. Great work! Just having another look at it this morning. It's so well done. The kick plate protector for the speakers, nobody is damaging that or the speakers, yet some cabs today have a cloth protector or flimsy cover, why? The purpose built caps on top of the amp to secure another cab, instead of just resting on top. Proper detail. The covering that's lasted 32 years. Yet some today don't last 12 months. Proper heatsinks on the back. What a great way to get a nostalgic 8x10 rig as well. I'd be amazed if I could find a trace 4x10 cab to fit for £100 or less. Incidentally does anyone know what 4x10 is for this cab?

Hi all, A recent hip replacement has gifted me something special: clarity and a frightening amount of spare time to play with my gear and even more hours to realise I don't need most of it. So, here’s your chance to snag a pedal that’s in excellent condition: gently neglected, thoroughly appreciated, and now ready for a new home! Here is the link to the Blackhole on the Eventide Website. Go ahead, fall down the rabbit hole of overly poetic knob explanations. (‘reverb pedal as big and mysterious as the cosmos.’ What does that mean?)” Alternatively, here's the sales pitch bit Eventide Blackhole – Deep Space Reverb for Bassists Take your bass tone into uncharted territory with the Eventide Blackhole. This pedal delivers massive, ambient reverb from Eventide’s legendary algorithm—perfect for adding atmosphere without muddying your low end. Tailored Control: Dial in your sound with hands-on knobs or go deeper via MIDI and software. Flexible Setup: Works in mono or stereo, with input options for bass guitar or line-level rigs. Studio-Grade Sound: From subtle space to infinite decay, Blackhole keeps your low frequencies tight and clear. Ideal for ambient, experimental, or cinematic bass tones—Blackhole lets your sound breathe and expand. Specification Five presets loaded at your feet with dozens more available with Eventide Device Manager (EDM) software Rear panel Guitar/Line Level switch for selecting use with guitar, synths, FX loop or DAW interface Map any combination of parameters to an Expression Pedal. Use a single Aux switch to Tap Tempo or a triple Aux switch for easy preset changing (up/down/load). MIDI capability over TRS (use with a MIDI to TRS cable or converter box) or USB Multiple Bypass options: Buffered, Relay, DSP+FX or Kill dry Eventide Device Manager PC or Mac application for software updates, system settings and creating/saving presets Fine-tune your tone with Lo, Hi and Q (resonance) controls. Use the tone controls to add airiness or clear up the low-end. Map the EQ controls to an expression pedal to add movement to the reverb tail. Box includes pedal, quick reference guide and universal power supply Recorded delivery within the UK is included in the price. If you’d prefer an alternative postage option, feel free to get in touch to discuss. EU shipping, however, involves a soul-crushing bureaucracy designed by someone who clearly hates bass players. So… no shipping to the EU I'm afraid. I'm happy to answer any questions, though be warned - I’ve spent more time looking at these pedals than actually using them; they’ve basically lived a sparse life under soft lighting. I'm not looking for any trades at the moment. Regards, Neil.

This is good to know, thanks! What does it do if you play a pitch that is between notes?
-
Yeah I guess it's a useful shorthand but I don't think many players using the GK system use it for MIDI. I tried it once and gave up because the VB99/GR55 have such great effects and options anyway.

Original paperwork too

pantherairsoft started following Roland GK-3B / GR-55 with fretless bass?
-
I used a GR-55 with the GK3B pickup on my old Zon Fretless with no issues at all. It was a fun system.
-
The Roland GK3B is indeed an hexaphonic (per se a pickup for each string) pickup like ALL so-called MIDI pickups @ped, but it allows you to use a MIDI system so is often referred as a MIDI pickup for some reason. It was not @Rosie C enquiry. 😉
-
I do agree Tom, but without the original packaging, I'd be concerned about sending this out into courier world. I also much prefer potential buyers to confirm they are happy with the item in person before they purchase. However, if a buyer would be prepared to arrange collection by their preferred courier I could source appropriate packaging.
-
You might be right there. 4x10 isn't unreasonable. He contacted me again recently and asked me if I want to do something again. Nice enough bloke but a bit demanding.

I sold mine in the mid 90's for ... 750 €/£...

I don’t want to sell mine but when I look at pricing it seems Steinberger has held it’s value
-
The GK3b isn't a MIDI pickup - only if you use a GR55 or VB99 etc to do pitch to MIDI conversion, with associated lag. Using the native Roland gear, there's no conversion happening so it's almost entirely lag free and just like a magnetic pickup.
-
I guess an East SR preamp just drops in if anyone wanted to “convert” one?
