Sambrook Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 I'm seriously considering buying one of these, was wondering if anyone has any experience of them? Particularly, how acoustic the piezo tone is... I believe they're prone to neck dive... Thanks in advance! Quote
GuyR Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I have the old A5 fretless, not ultra. It is slightly neck heavy, but not to any significant degree. I mainly use mine acoustically, as the fundamental tone is so good. Not sure how the ultra electrics compare, but the A5 is a great bass that does a decent DB tone, played over the fingerboard. Quote
The Funk Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I have the A5 Ultra Fretless. It's a great instrument. It plays great and the killer part is the tone: you get an acoustic-sounding piezo pickup, you get an electric fretless-sounding Lace Sensor magnetic pickup, and then you also get the MIDI capability. You need a (discontinued) Roland-style guitar MIDI interface like the GI-10 or GI-20 and a special cable to connect the two. Once you have that you can just plug a MIDI cable out from the the interface into any MIDI instrument you like. Quote
tauzero Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I'm considering one of these - what's the neck profile like? I like a slim shallow neck, would I be disappointed? Quote
