A 24 fret bass has 40 different notes on it.
A fretless bass has 351 different notes on it.

If you want to pretend your fretless is limited to 40 notes, put lines on it. Bit of a waste though.

KMA Audio Machines - The Tyler is a great bit of kit.

I started a wee thread on it on here with some decent you tube videos on it.

There is so much you can do with compression, dirt, modulators etc.

They offer a money back guarantee 14 or 21 days and also warranty for 5 years I think.

Its worth a shout for sure 

Absolutely man! As it stands I'm probably using it in the simplest way 😁

Never heard of the frequency splitter. Two compressors. Please elaborate I’m intrigued 

TL:DR, It allows for multi-band compression.

Have you ever set up a compressor so it nicely, gently compresses your G string, only to hit your low E string and have it be compressed to oblivion?

Basically, the Tyler is a High Pass Filter and a Low Pass Filter, with FX loops out of each side. The high pass feeds the Hyper Luminal, only compressing frequencies 550Hz and above. The other feeds the MXR M87, only compressing frequencies 350Hz and below.
By setting it like this, the 12db/Octave roll off of the filters acts as a natural mid cut around 462Hz, which cleans up some mud...just by default of how filters work I guess, but obviously the frequencies are adjustable.
Takes a bit of tinkering to get the settings right, but it works unbelievably well. Hand wired in Germany too, so it's well made!

I would have to disagree with you there as I own two four string Dingwalls & am very happy with my punchy/tight sounding 36.25" E strings.

It's nice to have even tension across all four strings & all to have a very similar timbre.

😁

Yeah, fair!

Always been intrigued by fan frets. Is it a gimmick or do they genuinely help with your playing?

They are pretty good. In terms of how it plays, it only takes a few minutes to get used to. The main idea is maintaining consistent string tension for all the strings. Basically stops the low B string being all floppy.

A bit unnecessary on a 4 string (unless you're playing with downtuned strings), but I don't think I'd ever buy another 5 string without a multi scaled neck now!

When I put the Darkglass Tone Capsule in, I wired beyond the Blend and Volume pots and didn't actually looks at the wires coming out the pickups.

There are actually only 2 cores coming out of each pickup though, unfortunately.

Are the pickups splittable/tappable?

Don't know actually, Bartolini BH1's. Maybe?

I had this dilemma when I rewired a les paul guitar, I don't like 2 volumes so went for one vol and one tone, I put a coil tap switch on one hole and a bullet in the other, a Winchester 38 special fitted nicely with a bit of tape on the inside of the cavity to hold it snugly 

That looks excellent!

An LED and a mini toggle switch to turn it on and off! If you used a double pole switch you could have it as a kill switch with a RED LED as off or green as on!

I mean, that would be genius haha. However, the Darkglass chip itself is a bit of a chunky boy, so the space in the back cavity is so minimal now, probably not an option sadly!

The finish is superb and it would be a shame to do anything to detract from it. Perhaps just fit a few fake pots with matching knobs? It could be your version of Leland Sklar's famous producer switch.

Ha yes, classic!

True! Probably the easiest choice. Thanks!

So I've just put a Darkglass Tone Capsule in my Ibanez, naturally it now sounds a hundred times better.

Just wondered if anyone had any novel suggestions to fill the 2, now redundant holes.

Cheers!
