It looks like TC have come up with an answer. Butcher your USB lead with a Stanley knife.

Hmmmmmmm.........
It's the HOF mini. Can zap stuff in off my phone but (unusually for me) I actually know what sound I want and want to edit it myself. Pretty frustrating it is.
I have a TC Spectracomp which floats my boat. I want to mess with some spacey reverb (maaaan) on my Double Bass bowed harmonics. So I picked up a TC HOF on Ebay ready to edit it to the setting I want and then leave it. The USB slot is so close to the Power socket that I cannot have USB and power plugged in at the same time. My sides are hurting from laughing so much. Just hilarious. There is plenty of room on the spectracomp. Ho ho ho. Why is nothing easy?

Clearly it is a Bravewood, but not what we expect to see when we search for Bravewood. It does look like a lot of bass for the money though!
Thread ressurection! I am looking for that parallel/NY thing. But I just want to load it in. Don't make me programme. It makes my head hurt. Can anyone tell me what preset programme I need to chuck into it? TIA
Thanks Ped, I really enjoyed that. It makes me want to get one, mount it onto a guitar (wait, don't judge me!), and turn it into a bass with bottom f#.
He probably does not have to have a day job. He probably does have at least 2 weeks solid rehearsal before going out on tour. He probably stays in nice hotels on tour. His children will probably never NEED to work. All this and more from the most fickle industry of them all. He is doing ok.
So many lovely basses out there. So many ........ unpleasing headstocks. I have no positive suggestions, don't get me wrong. But people who can design really nice bodies just miss the spot with the headstock. Or is it just me?

Ah! I already own this and it has the neckthrough bit which has a different vibe for me (ymmv) and I was wondering how to utilise it. I have dropped the price and it will sell when it will sell. I shall enjoy using it as is until then.
Oddly, for a Double Bassist, my fretless history is genuinely awful!
The written down thought process has encouraged me to drop the price and shift it. But it was exciting while it lasted!
Yeah, that was what my question was about I guess. I can see how that would de-stabilise it. If I do it then I will be sure to record before and after. By this morning Paulhauser's concept is making more sense!
I have thought about pickup placement. Where the pickup is in relation to the string length when you play an open E is different to where it is when you play a fretted G on the E string so I figure it is not a huge deal.
My DIY skills are legendary. For the wrong reasons. I could move the bridge but I will not be re-fretting anything ever. By the time I have had it all done inc new fingerboard, I would have dumped quite a lot of money into an unknown outcome. Safer not to when all is said and done. But it was a fun musing as I drifted off to sleep last night Those Overwaters are yummy though.
Thanks for humouring me y'all!
