It's real name is MB-4 and it was (ans still is) the fastest midi system on the market, because the note was sensed by each fret that was divided in four section (5 on the fivers) and not by an hex pickup, even if there's one, it's only here for the effect (bend, dynamic,...) applied on the note played...

This is the first version as this infamous hex pickup was suppressed on the second one, the effect being sensed directly by the magnetic pickups.

It's a real piece of history.

For the module, the Peavey should work as they bought the rights for this system manufactured by the Australian Steve CHICK company.

It would be worth dropping Steve Chick a line via his new company (which still offer MIDI basses) Industrial Radio to confirm this. He does tweak things in search of constant improvements.

Great idea !

Here is the link : http://www.industrialradio.com.au

Even better, read this from his website :

"NOTE: If you would like to upgrade your existing 8-pin MIDI Bass to the 15-pin system that works with the FSI-1 contact us."

The link : http://www.industrialradio.com.au/products/fsi-1-fretsense-interface.html

So for little money, you'll get this bass back into (acurate) midi tracks !

Thanks

They also came with a wooden pedalboard which let you send program changes to your midi gear and add midi vibrato to your notes. This version of Steve Chicks system was before he added the tension sensor into the bridge to allow for bends and vibrato.

Great bass.
