Hi Guys and Gals, I’m going to put in my two cents. I’ve been chasing the invisible bassman sound for several years. Mine was with the electronics end. I started out several yrs. ago with the Roland GR-1.and pickup system. Assigning the acoustic bass sound to the5th and 6th strings. It was great. Very woody sounding - the problem was the tracking delay. It couldn’t keep up with the picking speed. I graduated to The Roland GR-30.It was better but not good enough. It became more a novelty and has been collecting dust in my studio. The downside of it all was it was expensive, cumbersome, didn't track well, and a pain to use live.
Now, with new technology The Fishman company has come out with a wireless system called” Triple Play”. It is relatively inexpensive ($399) for the whole system. The pickup mounts to your guitar like the Roland system. A wireless receiver into your laptop or iPad. All essential software included with optional notation and other programs available. The best part is from all I've seen, the tracking is perfect for us pickers. I’ve checked out a lot of Youtube videos and this is one of the better links .It explains a lot.
Maybe we could get Mark Pritcher to give Fishman a nudge in the direction of the CAAS convention. I’m sure they would love to demonstrate their products to a bunch of prospective customers who are already obsessed with anything guitar related.
I would love to try and be there. I might just pull the trigger. Have fun , Augie
