Price has dropped to €299 again: http://pandamidi.com/store/future-impact-i-bass-guitar-synth

If you’re going down the synth bass route, do yourself a favour and check out the Future Impact too. There’s one up for sale here at present too or you could buy a new one for about the same price: http://pandamidi.com/store/future-impact-i-bass-guitar-synth

I’ve created a C4 preset which allows me to have just the contents of its loop be active. It can be found here: https://neuro.sourceaudio.net/preset/7GVB1SSDo3

Yes, I do need to get a board and it would make the cabling neater to free a bit of space. I might go with the compact FI at some point but am quite fond of the case as it is.

This has seen many incarnations over the years but I feel I’m getting close to a final form (haha, right!). The gap is just about big enough for my Morningstar MC8 controller to go. I might have to finally buy a pedalboard now. For anyone interested the chain order is as follows: Future Impact > C4> Mu-Tron > Enigma > Wombtone MKII > Sentry The C4 has the LS-2 > Lunar in its loop. The LS-2 has the Okto-Nøjs > MXR Vintage Bass Octave in loop A and the Mastotron in loop B. I’ve created a C4 preset which allows me to have just the contents of its loop be active.

All sold now, thanks.

For a split second I thought this was my old one that I was forced to sell last year. Had it been, I’d have bought it back as I miss it. These are brilliant basses.

Glad to hear it. Do check out the examples in the manual too; I wrote a whole section on using the FI to replace single effects stomp boxes and a section on how to create your own sounds from scratch.

I heartily recommend reading the manual as there’s loads of good stuff in there and there are probably features you didn’t even know existed.

@andyowenuk I’ve PMd you. Basically you need to either perform a “reset all” or set the “tune base” manually. Both of these are done via the boot menu. Read the section called “editing the configuration parameters” on pages 13-14 of the manual. Click the link below:

@hiram.k.hackenbacker looks like the seller is willing to split so you could buy his UM-One cable cheaper than new.

@bubinga5, can’t remember if you were still after (another) one of these.

Split frets.

Oh cool, what options did he offer? When is yours due to be completed? Maybe we could meet up to make a comparison sometime.

Not sure about the bridge choices, they need graphtech saddles. Might be possible to fit these to an existing bridge. The open strings thing is only an issue if you want to layer the bass sound with the midi sound and play at the bottom. Otherwise for just midi you can pitch everything down an octave and play an octave higher.
