Is it the midi Holy Grail for bass players? Well I think it's probably as good as it get's right now. To be clear, no pitch to midi, all note and control info is generated through the individual fretting of notes against the fretboard combined with the string vibration in the bridge unit. Output can be configured in many different ways. You need to play clean enough so as not to create confusion but it's really not difficult to do this in my experience at least. There is really nothing not to like here in terms of the bass as a midi controller.

I have simply come to the conclusion that I prefer keys for midi duties and whilst the bass is an excellent 'bass only' (I must confess I was pleasantly surprised how good it is in that regard) it's not my go-to choice of instrument.

Happy to sell but also very happy to look at trades or p/x for other basses.
