Mr Bassman

I've had some interesting trade offers which I'll be looking into over the weekend, but I'm in no rush to move it on.

[quote name='walplayer' post='843102' date='May 20 2010, 01:20 PM']+1 what Geert said. I owned a couple of these,the hold facility is great and you can push the midi/triggering boundaries to include looping drum loops etc. if you wanted or whatever direction.(join in on drums to confuse a drummer forever!!) You can change "patch" too by holding down the pedal and just briefly fretting a corresponding note on neck!! plus you can play real synth bass 'stead of all these emulation pedals. They're easy to use/figure out too,good luck with the sale!![/quote] Cheers WP I've owned this since 1996 and used it for writing backing tracks in cubase It's also great for transcribing / notating and arranging bass / brass parts etc. Just play the piece / passage into your favourite music software and edit away! I do a fair amount of gigs so do not have the time to make good use of it. It's spent most of it's life in it's case, it should be being used.

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='842550' date='May 19 2010, 09:25 PM']Is the (midi) note then generated by string contact wtith the fret or is it affected by the right hand plucking as well (amplitude etc?). The video link didnt really explain anything - it was just that guy plugging himself ( although not with the bass up his a*s I hope! ) Also that connector on the back looks in an awkward place. BB[/quote] Hi BB, taken from the users manual:- The MB4 Bass Guitar to Midi Interface is a fret contact system, each fret is divided into four (or 5 on a five string) so works like a midi keyboard. With the Dynamics on (switch to the right)) the synthesizer sound that you are using WILL respond to how hard or soft you pluck the bass strings. If I ever find the time I could scan the whole manual, but Ive got too much on at the moment but will do my best to answer any questions. As for the connector on the back, one doesn't really notice it while playing seated or standing, the cable exits close to a normal jack or xlr lead.

[quote name='autostop' post='842406' date='May 19 2010, 07:22 PM']you're wrong , problem with midi bass is cause of low frequence are not well recognized,i tried roland pickup midi system and that was a real pain with record cleaner (sorry to tell but my technic isnot so bad)[/quote] The Roland midi system has nothing to do with a Wal Midi Bass. please don't clog up my thread if you are not interested in owning my bass

[quote name='autostop' post='841963' date='May 19 2010, 12:51 PM']no latence or wrong note with this midi system ? cause i never found a good midi bass system[/quote] As with any instrument it is only as good as the musician playing it. Good technique and precise fingering are required to avoid wrong notes sounding.

[quote name='Toasted' post='840878' date='May 18 2010, 02:19 PM']Keith, from the knob closest the pickguard: Vol / Vol / Vintage Tone Control / Treble / Bass I could bring it over one night this week if you'd like a play? It's a really nice bass.[/quote] Does the vintage tone control crackle? I'm gigging at the West Park tonight, if you fancy coming over I could try it on a few tunes

That looks nice Joe what do all the Knobs do?

[quote name='walbassist' post='840610' date='May 18 2010, 10:34 AM']Amen to that.[/quote] Thanks Gareth

[quote name='BigJim' post='840588' date='May 18 2010, 10:14 AM']How about a 1920 Dresden Flat back?[/quote] Got any pics? [quote name='Toasted' post='840592' date='May 18 2010, 10:17 AM']Keith's a great guy and has an incredible collection of basses. Deal in confidence [/quote] Cheers Joe can I not tempt you? It'd look nice in your pad

[quote name='jsixties' post='840131' date='May 17 2010, 08:15 PM']Awesome and historic Wal. Can you please give us any guide about how it works and possibilities?[/quote] I'm going off line in a few minutes but here's a link to Keith Holden's midibass youtube which might help [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/KeithMidiBass"]http://www.youtube.com/user/KeithMidiBass[/url] cheers

Now sold Little used 1991 Wal Midi 4 in great condition for sale or trade. American Walnut facings, original Wal grey case, 1u midi interface, pedals and manual. Looking for trades such as a Gibson archtop single cut jazz guitar or 335 type (not 60's neck profile, the beefier the better), '50's re-issuses considered or a pre C.B.S. Jazz bass or a nice double bass (maybe!) I'd prefer not to ship but will deliver around Yorkshire or meet within 100m from Harrogate, or buyer to arrange collection.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='829023' date='May 5 2010, 09:46 PM'][size=4][font="Comic Sans MS"]Okay, here goes the second one of the day... Fender American Vintage Precision, complete with all covers, DR FatBeam strings, original AV-series case & all case candy. It's been said by several of the Precision aficionados around here that it's the best Precision they've played. The Beedster said that his AV came seriously close in sound to his original '64. Nitro finish, gorgeous polished rosewood fingerboard, vintage reverse tuners. It's got the lot. £900 for quick sale. No trades.
