Ironically, you'd probably have to sand the gloss finish for the matte to adhere to it. Really fine grit abrasives are all I can think of...

Looks awful... but I bet it plays better than a ******fecker...

That's an earlier one. There was a headstock shape change in later models. I had one of these in 94/95 so it's before that. Looks like it'll clean up fairly well!

Hmm. It's the MIDI guitar software that's doing the "other instruments" in that video NOT the OMEC Teleport, it's just converting the analogue signal to 1's and 0's. Being a bit misleading there is Mary. It's a standard audio interface, albeit a pedalboard mounted one.

It's an audio interface, not a pitch to midi converter. Not what you're looking for I fear. Sonuus i2m might get you closer, but without lag? Forget it...

People with sense. My MkV GTI likes £450 of tyres about once a year. If they were £700 I'd still spend it because putting remoulds on a performance car is suicide... Flea is awesome? Maybe in your world, but I think he disappeared up his own behind after BSSM.

Meh... mine hasn't had a look-in since I bought a Deko Harley Benton Uke bass. The U-bass looks great but has the bridge placed wrong making the intonation intolerable, and the pickup has a known issue, the "fix" for which makes the intonation even worse. Have to say I couldn't recommend them at all. Despite the sharp fret ends and plain-jane looks the Harley Benton is a vastly superior instrument at a fraction of the price. YMMV of course...

Going to ask a ridiculous question... Would building this from 12mm MDF be madness. Have access to quite a lot of it...

As am I... Any word @alexclaber?

I used a D'addario 145 on a drop A 34" scale 5 string (Sire Jazz) and it was perfect.

More than one lesson learned there then! Could end up saving you money in the long run that one...

Looks lush! Not the spec I would personally choose, but still lush nonetheless!

I'd go the chrome hardware route myself. Lovely looking basses. I've never had the opportunity to try one myself, but they're on the radar!

Just bought an Ibanez SRC6 from Frank. Very pleased with it and the whole transaction. Communication was excellent throughout and Frank's packaging was beyond bombproof! Wouldn't hesitate to deal with Frank again.

Yes and yes!

Position sensor? Like a rotary encoder?

I would bet UK sales of SM212's will bump a little on the strength of that video!

I should probably say I think it can be done as follows: with transconductance amplifiers like the LM13600/13700 (see "interpolating scanner" project online) where one of these devices acts as a volume control per channel with an arduino reading the input pot as a voltage divider and controlling digital pots on the i2c bus to act as volume controls for each channel based on the position/voltage output from the pot But I can't think of an easier way to do it.

at 25% a 50/50 blend of A and B, no C. At 75% a 50/50 blend of B and C, no A.

Can anyone think of a way to blend between 3 separate signals using a single pot? I want: signal "A" full volume, signals "B" and "C" totally off at 0% pot travel signal "B" full volume, signals "A" and "C" totally off at 50% pot travel signal "C" full volume, signals "A" and "B" totally off at 100% pot travel In honesty I can think of 2 different ways of doing this, both of which are quite involved, but was wondering if anyone could come up with simpler way!!!

Following on from Quilly's Seller's Remorse thread and the comment I made about regretting buying (or not buying!) much more than selling, what have you bought (or not!) and regretted it? For me I regret buying (actually less than I was expecting!): Anything with Ernie Ball on the headstock - So a Stingray 5, a Stingray 4, a Bongo 5 and a Bongo 4. Anything made by Darkglass (except the M900 amp which was well lush!): B3k (3 times), VMT, B7K, Vintage Ultra (although it was good, it just wasn't anywhere near as good as the M900 it replaced). Shuker Custom 6 string. For some reason I thought a 6 string was a great idea. I'd never owned one before. Thick end of 2 grand pretty much wasted. Quality was great though. Peavey 810TX. Who needs vertebrae, eh? Seemed like a great idea, and sounded pretty good but moving it on my own was not much fun. Aguilar AG500. Meh. Just not me. "Goodfellow" 4 string. Turned out it was cobbled together with leftovers from the Lowden factory-era. Utter rubbish. Regret not buying: Refinished Fender '65 P bass in Ruddy's, New York about 10 years ago. Should have got the credit card out on the spot. Opened the P bass flood gates for me. Late 70's Fender Mustang I was offered in my late teens. It wasn't pointy/metal enough for me at the time even if it was the most comfortable bass I'd played up to that point. The guy's opening gambit was a ton (in '94), so I could have got it cheaper. Celinder "Skarbee" Update 4. In the top 3 basses I've ever had in my hands. Again, should have got the credit card out on the spot.

In 26 years... Tecamp Puma 212 Combo - best bass combo in the world I think. But I had given up on bands at the time. Ashdown LB30 & matching LB212 cab. Ditto. Fender Roscoe Beck V. Sold because I was on a 4 string trip at the time. I'll maybe get another one day. Really, really nice bass. Squier SQ Precision. Really abused by former owner but sounded and felt glorious. Bought for a ton and sold in a fit of insanity. Way better than my USA P, but it was a wedding present from my wife. 83 Wal Custom. Not that I really liked it that much, but regret because I sold it cheap. Nowadays it'd be worth more than twice what I sold it for!!! Actually I've regretted buying (or not buying!) much more than I've regretted selling...

INCOMING!!!
