ShergoldSnickers Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) This probably means months of counselling and I'm sure I'm supposed to apply for a licence, but I went ahead anyway. An acquaintance of mine was selling a black Epiphone Dot Studio with an old Roland GR1 module and midi guitar pickup. I'd mooted getting a midi bass pickup and GI-20 module from new but had decided against. I've seen it all working, tried it, and apart from the odd glitch it does work surprisingly well. The midi output is to be fed straight into native GarageBand sounds, and it means I don't have to tangle with a keyboard. A snip at £150. I'm still chewing his arm.

Telebass Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Worth it for the guitar alone. Bin the Roland and buy a decent valve amp - much better noise than any amount of digital doodaddery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all we need is a catheter, a floor mop and bucket, lots of polythene sheeting, some leather cuffs and a small rodent, preferably a baby mole rat as they like dark places. Dood loves it.

ShergoldSnickers Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have just finished the first session with the good doctor, and I managed to keep my wings and hat on this time. Alas, the shorts didn't fare so well and will have to be incinerated along with the soft furnishings. A quick question to Dr de'Ath. Does the probe attached to the spankatron usually buzz that loudly at the end? I also apologise for the bite marks on your reciprocating plunge bucket handle. As soon as the nurse retrieves it I'll post it back, pristine and freshly varnished. It tasted of swamp ash if I'm not mistaken. I now feel fully able to wield my newly acquired, undersized, high-pitched, six-string monstrosity, with the degree of impunity and disdain befitting the player of a bass instrument. Amazing. This would have been impossible before doctor. My life has been changed, and now for the underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I've come close to buying Paul_c's ricky a few times. That's an amazing looking guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you ever have the urge to do a twiddly solo at a completely inappriopriate time (known as turning to the dark side )[/quote] Believe me, there's no danger of me doing a solo on a guitar. Whilst I'm slightly more handy on a guitar than a keyboard, I'm still 'inexperienced' (crap). My immediate thoughts are: What on earth do these extra two strings do? And one of 'em goes funny and ruins my patterns. That 'B' string. And another thing: Chords? CHORDS? Why, the dirty, dirty bast*rds.... Seriously, I've got a lot of work to do here, but initially at least it will be used for generating midi info to squirt into GarageBand, via the Roland GR1 that was thrown in as well. It's kind of weird to be playing a stringed thing and hear sounds that normally emanate from keyboards. So long as you play cleanly it seems to work. Next on the list - learn to play cleanly.

Dood Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Interestingly, my guitarist played all the keyboard prts on his album, but has recently paired his gear up with a MIDI pickup to play said keyboard sounds. I'm really impressed! I'd like to have a play with a decent MIDI bass set up. I'm intrigued by that. SO is Doctor de'Ath ^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
