It is a thought, but the work in getting things into shape for specific songs AND the chances of various specific members holding it together to a constant bpm is .................. daunting. Mostly the BPM thing...........
But I do appreciate the suggestion
The owner is going to take it to Sam Wells in Manchester for some grounded real world advice. I will update the thread when I know more. It is a very nice instrument and, although extensively repaired, is structurally sound.
Why have a fancy top when you can have a fancy whole!
I must admit I have never felt drawn to spalted tops, but now that it is all 3D and that, then it is a whole different thing. In a good way.
I love a good flight case. I have often wondered about one of those cut foam bits in a box made by LeBlond. Really light but would take a donk and not flinch.
Humour me here. Is that all done with you and a bass or are there external mod wheel type thangs involved.
I know you said "send the noise envelope to LFO speed and send velocity to LFO depth" but that could as easily be 681849684(&^*&_)&*&^_)*%£$$%^*&(&)(&) as far as I am concerned.
Thanks. I would like to whack them into two of these. When I say I, I mean someone else to do it for me, obv

But I am wondering if the piezo element might need a bit more cushioning before impact.
Ah, what I am looking for is the ability to trigger the module itself electronically - which I am guessing will involve putting piezo elements into a foot pedal so that the sound module is fooled into thinking that someone is hitting a proper drum pad. I would have one pedal for the snare (left foot) and one for the bass drum (right foot). I would then plug them into the relevant socket on the back of the sound module.
I play bass at Church. Most of the time there is a drummer there playing an electric kit. Sometimes there is not. It strikes me that I could do snare and kick drums using my feet using piano sustain pedals (small square not fancy dan ones) with an onboard piezo. I could plug those into the relevant socket on the sound module and off I go. Touch sensitive would be nice. Is this doable or am I making an eejit of myself? Again?
I have a full rosewood neck which looks similar. But I am in no way qualified to comment. I would like to see the body. It sounds like a very good looking combo. I am shallow enough to be a sucker for a good looking combination.

They are made from polypropelene. I had a box for leads made 18 years ago. It is bombproof. It is light and will take a beating.
The 'Z' option on the Audere I had in my MTD Heir made the sound go mahoosive, in a good way. Something else on my long list of things I should have not changed.
I would be seriously tempted to get LeBlond to make a plain rectangular box to size for it and fill it with foam. The box would not weigh that much. Once it is full of bass you could rivet handles/straps onto it so that it balances correctly.
I have always thought about getting LeBlond to make a lightweight but solid case. Trifibre do the LeBlond kind of thing. One of those with a CNC cut innner would be all you need unless someone else is chucking it into the back of an Artic every night. What is the EUB? I have my NS in an Explorer case which is great. Not sure of the model number but this kind of thing - https://www.explorercases.com/en/products/15416/15416-b-copolymer-polypropylene-waterproof-case/
