Beautiful! I'm wondering about those laminated bamboo necks - are they recommended for half fretless NS too? Or maybe it would be better to order a normal Grand or SG with one side fretless? It was the half fr-less NS that got me interested in the Stick but then I changed my mind and went with Grand... |

I just hate the way switching fx can sound gimmicky or too drastic ya know. I want my fx switching to sound flowing and mor Yes, I'm all into morphing between sounds, even on held notes and chords. I try to achieve this by using expression pedals that continuously sweep between two alternative effe... |

I have an earlier Presonius channelstrip model, the VXP. It sounds great but I can't say it gives me a "warmer sound" than I get by plugging the PASV4 directly into my RME Fireface400 audio interface, at instrument level (laptop rig stereo to PA stagebox). I have grown a huge fan to the PA... |

I have the Russian tube top SOVTEK Mig-60 with two Marshall Lead Series cabinets. This amp typically duplicates the classic "plexi" sound. I use it for practicing with a clean sound in my living room with the PASV4 set to send both bass and melody side through the same output. My main rig ... |

I'm currently trying to avoid compression until I get my basic technique down. How does everyone feel about compression? I look at compression as an instrument. Well, almost. Anyway, if you practice it you get better at making music with it. With the STick I love compression! I think it can give bo... |

Yes, I had that issue with my 12 stringed Grand when using light strings. Switching to Medium strings solved my problems. |

i've never had a tolorance for anything but a low action. Well, I've been playing some rather high guitar string action in the past, so I guess I have some relearning to do. (single coil guitar in funk music where you're supposed to deliver a snappy sound, to avoid fret buzz high action is the only... |

Just remembered I forgot to tell one thing about the RME FF400, which is the box I use and know best: It can be used without the computer too but then you have to adjust settings by a knob on the front. This is a two-step process: (1) select the parameter to change, (2) set the new value. I never us... |

Nice to see tapping on an acoustic guitar. I have tried that but just can't make it work. When comparing string action setup with my 12 str Grand I suspect you need to set up an acoustic guitar rather extremely in order to make it "tappable". Right? |

Just chiming in with a related thought: Yesterday I had the idea to play Bach's Bourrée (Lute E minor) on my 5th/4th MR tuned grand. I found the score as PDF and recorded a couple of audio recordings of this piece to check it out in detail. It typically goes as two single-string melody lines (that i... |
