B2M is ok-ish if you are happy to go up an octave and be super clean, but do not expect to plug in and be triggering of your normal lines. I am using a You Rock guitar for midi stuff. Obv not my normal bass but it means I can use basic plectrum technique and trigger interesting sounds.

I wish I could think of something, but I cannot, and I have spent a solid hour thinking about it 2x15 active wedge with 2 x 19" rack spaces?

One less now.

Big lump of cash to throw out but then again, you only get one set of ears. Liam [/quote] You only get one set of ears. I cannot now play without earplugs in due to damage. I cannot hear detail in what others are doing. Playing is not as much fun as it was. Everyone sort out hearing protection. Do it today.

I have worked out what was wrong with the lefty Tele I bought for a friend. The octave dots are on the 13th fret

You all probably know this, but the iRig blue thing foot pedal is not compatible with iPad2. How I laughed.

If anyone sees a Uke bass on there then I will happily pay you £10 to buy it for me if I miss it. Ta

Just to add 2p worth. I have found piezos very disappointing on fretted basses until I got hold of a Bolin NS bass. The sound was everything I had always hoped for and more. It was a Fishman system (pickup and preamp) which sadly Fishman only sold OEM. I am not sure what the processing in the preamp was as far as fixed High Pass Filtering was, I presume it was in there. The real joy about it was how it fitted in with acoustic instruments in a way that Magnetic pickups (for me, YMMV) never have. I have a set of Graphtec saddles to go onto a bridge soon and am just getting my head around the preamp situation. What was nice about the Fishman/Bolin thing was that each string had an adjustable vol on trim pots inside. EMG used to make such a beast but I cannot find it anymore. I have looked at the East stuff and I guess that is the way I will go. I understand that the OP is going fretless, but I thought I would chime in about fretted not being all bad given the correct set up and how it works superbly with acoustic instruments.

[quote name='Owencf' timestamp='1423679331' post='2687893'] i patched my blisters up with a dab of superglue once its broken to hold the skin together a bitty longer to allow the meat under to toughen a little. [/quote] Superglue before the event. As soon as you get to the stage of thinking "hmmm...I might blister up here" then put a layer of glue on. It holds everything together. I have not blistered for years and in no way keep my right hand match fit because my gigging is MUCH more infrequent these days.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1427739348' post='2733719'] Thanks Owen. What do you think of the acoustic sound of the classical? Both in terms of loudness and sound quality. [/quote] Acoustically it is similar to a standard electric being played acoustically. Not very beefy. But it is an exceptionally nice instrument. Did I actually need it? No.

My thin bodied Electro classical thing has arrived. Struggling to find anything wrong with it. Just for reference, my 5 string acoustic bass had a body the size of a small planet and the neck was placed in a way which meant the nut was pretty far away.
