I'd still have my V7 5 if it had a workaround for the fretboard radius. The radius is fine for playing, but it means the outer strings are louder than the inner strings. The B string in particular (which was excellent on mine, by the way) was very difficult to tame! If I was on the hunt for a workhorse 5 I'd consider another but either modify the pickups or have the radius flattened out to a nice 12" - 16" compound if the fretboard laminate would allow. Or I'd try the P5 (where I'd probably favour the P pickup anyway) where you can adjust the 2 halves of the pickup accordingly.

Need to retune the cab for the Faital? Any word on the review of this cab @Phil Starr?

"Tuff cab" paint.

Victim of the bathtub curve @torby.

Ironically, you'd probably have to sand the gloss finish for the matte to adhere to it. Really fine grit abrasives are all I can think of...

Looks awful... but I bet it plays better than a ******fecker...

That's an earlier one. There was a headstock shape change in later models. I had one of these in 94/95 so it's before that. Looks like it'll clean up fairly well!

Hmm. It's the MIDI guitar software that's doing the "other instruments" in that video NOT the OMEC Teleport, it's just converting the analogue signal to 1's and 0's. Being a bit misleading there is Mary. It's a standard audio interface, albeit a pedalboard mounted one.

It's an audio interface, not a pitch to midi converter. Not what you're looking for I fear. Sonuus i2m might get you closer, but without lag? Forget it...

People with sense. My MkV GTI likes £450 of tyres about once a year. If they were £700 I'd still spend it because putting remoulds on a performance car is suicide... Flea is awesome? Maybe in your world, but I think he disappeared up his own behind after BSSM.

Meh... mine hasn't had a look-in since I bought a Deko Harley Benton Uke bass. The U-bass looks great but has the bridge placed wrong making the intonation intolerable, and the pickup has a known issue, the "fix" for which makes the intonation even worse. Have to say I couldn't recommend them at all. Despite the sharp fret ends and plain-jane looks the Harley Benton is a vastly superior instrument at a fraction of the price. YMMV of course...

Going to ask a ridiculous question... Would building this from 12mm MDF be madness. Have access to quite a lot of it...

As am I... Any word @alexclaber?

I used a D'addario 145 on a drop A 34" scale 5 string (Sire Jazz) and it was perfect.

More than one lesson learned there then! Could end up saving you money in the long run that one...

Looks lush! Not the spec I would personally choose, but still lush nonetheless!

I'd go the chrome hardware route myself. Lovely looking basses. I've never had the opportunity to try one myself, but they're on the radar!

Just bought an Ibanez SRC6 from Frank. Very pleased with it and the whole transaction. Communication was excellent throughout and Frank's packaging was beyond bombproof! Wouldn't hesitate to deal with Frank again.

Yes and yes!

Position sensor? Like a rotary encoder?

I would bet UK sales of SM212's will bump a little on the strength of that video!

I should probably say I think it can be done as follows: with transconductance amplifiers like the LM13600/13700 (see "interpolating scanner" project online) where one of these devices acts as a volume control per channel with an arduino reading the input pot as a voltage divider and controlling digital pots on the i2c bus to act as volume controls for each channel based on the position/voltage output from the pot But I can't think of an easier way to do it.

at 25% a 50/50 blend of A and B, no C. At 75% a 50/50 blend of B and C, no A.
