Russkull Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 But it's so futuristic! Keybass! Woooooooooooooo! <waiving fingers like a magician> "Of all the world's bassists, I'm one of them!" - Lug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b5pilot Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not much to look at is it? I guess it'll get the job done. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumpelstiltskin. Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 And somehow they managed to get that cockamamie "instrument" patented. it's patentable, but the real question is why? obviously they believe in the concept because they put the work into it, so they must also believe it is something that will inspire others. personally i'm content to keep my keyboard controller on a stand. either way i'm doing both one-handed. i doubt i have the bandwidth to do both *and* keep moving in a way that couldn't be described as completely ridiculous. best to have the keyboard anchor me to one place on the stage. because i like people.

Eric VB Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I can't see a use for it. Maybe J. Dan can? I routinely play an arrangement of the keyboard and bass parts for the ending of The Beatles' "Come Together" on bass. It might sound better if I played both parts separately on this thingamajig, but would it be worth the effort and the extra 10 lbs on my neck all night? Besides, wouldn't you be a little leery of how well the bass MIDI tracked? When the player switches into neck/enable mode the bass neck becomes a one handed midi controller, with each note producing a midi signal. The player is able to finger midi bass notes with the left hand while playing chords on the keyboard with the right hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane hugo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You'd be better off Velcro-ing a QuiNexus to whatever bass you're already playing. Lil' things are damn near indestructible. http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
