[quote]Graphtec Ghost system.[/quote]
Thanks for the tip!
Cool piezo saddle transducer system, I like this as an acoustic tone option.
still want electromagnetic coils for a primary output signal. It's a totally different sound. -
The GK-3B is perfect for Roland VSystems, but useless as a hexaphonic audio signal pickup.
I want a breakout box to isolate all 6 strings into 6 amp channels without crosstalk,
GK pickup coils share a common earth so crosstalk is unavoidable,
and even if there were a breakout box for the GK, the impedance and inductance is way to low on those tiny coils.
The pickups mentioned above however can do both jobs. -
I've been poking around the net for anything on bass divided pickups..
so far I've only got 2 hits : [url="http://www.ubertar.com"]Ubertar Hexaphonic Pickups[/url] and [url="http://www.aescher.eu/p11.html"]AE Divided Bass String Sensors[/url]
the first seems to be standard size and form hex pickups designed to replace stock pickups..
and the second are surface mounted, or I guess also installed?, but definiately not standard size or form.
Both are VG-88 compatible with breakout boxes, so I think I found what I was looking for! -
I've been wondering why hex pickups are only available for guitar (?)
Roland GK bass pickups are only made for 4 string bass.
I would like to play bass through a Roland VG-88
and also be able to isolate each string into seperate amp channels,
but I haven't found any hex pickups for 6 string bass anywhere.
We still seem to live in a guitarcentric universe.. bleh*
Hex Bass Pickup with 6 mid-impedance audio outputs?

This is very cool, RMC also have pickups for Contrabass and Cello as well.
[quote]With the hexpander option you can have both.[/quote]
Interesting.. is the hexpander a breakout box?
I'd like to have peizo saddle transducers for an acoustic tone (secondary output)
and divided electromagnetic coil pickup for primary output, with a 13-pin DIN VG-88 interface.
I like this option > [url="http://www.aescher.eu/p11.html"]AE X6 Surface Mounted Divided Bass Pickup[/url] since it doesn't require any mods to the instrument,
comes with a 9 year warranty and I can send it back within 30 days for a refund if I don't like it.
I can add saddle transducers (RMC or Graphtec) later as well.
