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.

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:

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.

Or a boss LS-2 with one bass on each of the two inputs and use the pedal’s two channel volume knobs to set the levels.

As I said in the other thread, Frettrax will retrofit to your bass of choice and their stock MIDI basses are a completely different design.

Yes. I asked a while back and he said no, but I notice that the it is an option on the guitar to have whatever headstock shape you like so maybe he’s budged on this now.

Yes, I was also in contact with Rob about his version and was considering that too. What swayed me were a few things: IR is much longer established and further down the road with development. Steve Chick invented this technology. IR now have P and PJ models and a PJ is the best fit for the normal bass sounds I use. I’ve also had chance to play an IR bass so know the quality is good. There isn’t any way to try an ROR bass before buying. I quite like the fact it’ll look like a normal bass. I really didn’t like the headstock of the ROR one. However it definitely had some things going for it such as the ability to plug and play and the joystick and pitch shift buttons on the body. If I’m feeling super-flush, I might buy an ROR one too.

Exactly the point of the post: that phrase was a reference to an earlier comment from someone else - read a couple of pages back and you’ll see that @yorks5stringer was actually rebuffing another poster for using that phrase. I believe this post is more meant along the lines of “how on earth can you accuse her of being a ‘gold digging tart’ after reading this article?”.

Ah, I see.

Band in a box (which is over 15 years old) had modules which would comp or solo in the style of various players and it was very authentic. It was only let down by the poor MIDI sounds on my machine at the time but would sound great with the great physical modelling stuff available nowadays.

I don’t follow.

That does seem daft. I hope it gets resolved.

23 days later and this still hasn’t been resolved!

I bought a lovely Lakland 44-60 from Simon today and it couldn’t have gone smoother. I’d committed to buy it a couple of weeks ago and he’d kindly held on to it for me, said I could pay on collection and travelled over to meet me while I was in London visiting friends so we could hand over in person. Nice to talk bass for a bit upon meeting too. Communication was excellent throughout and friendly and the bass was exactly as described. I’d have no hesitation in trading with Simon in the future Or in recommending him to others. Many thanks!
