Yeah that’s right - mines a ‘pleasure board’ but since TecAmp became Eich they’ve renamed it to ‘bassboard’ which is just no fun. It’s like they put the name through our profanity filter!
I really don't mind posting or buying items that are posted if it's something which is insured, and replaceable (for example an amplifier). If it's a rare instrument I've tracked down and wouldn't be able to replace with another, I'll go and get it. I'll move heaven and earth!
I much prefer using headphones for practice. I can't concentrate when I think I might be annoying someone. Using headphones I can get the perfect sound, benefit from full stereo effects like reverb, and using a 'Baseboard' I get the feel of sitting in front of a huge rig.
If that isn't what you want you could open threads in a new tab then go back to the original page and read others. Actually that's how I tend to work on desktop anyway.
Thanks. Does the same for me too on iOS. The notes are a third party add on so we’ll talk to the developer. We weren’t originally going to make he notes usable by members, but just have them for posting global notes from the admin. I’m not sure how often members use them, but I love them for posting global reminders/notices!
Please start any threads concerning functionality/lack thereof in this forum, not the 'Site News' area.

Well I don’t know what to tell you because all it does is transmit the signal from a magnetic pickup to a 13 pin output in exactly the same way a normal pickup does, but with all strings into one output. There’s no latency because nothing is being changed at all, there’s no processing on board, no triggering etc. I can only assume your external unit wasn’t right. I’ve been using GK basses for years and if there was even a tiny bit of latency I wouldn’t touch them.
There’s no latency on the GK either. It works just like a magnetic pickup; there’s no conversion going on so the sound is instant (at least when using Roland GR system interfaces, like the Vbass which I know he used/uses)
The only benefit with the piezo based system is the lack of an extra pickup but that’s never bothered me.
A lot of Caron’s work is recorded using the VB99 and original Vbass before that, which people assume is MIDI but is in fact basically like having an effects pedal for each string.
Just a heads up that's the RMC system isn't actually MIDI but basically a polyphonic system that can be easily converted to MIDI. It uses a 13 pin output which is comparable with many systems.
I have the Roland version in two instruments and use them to drive a dedicated GK unit rather than anything MIDI - so you get all the benefits like polyphonic effects but none of the latency.
