    I'm salivating at the K-20 synth(and Neutron too). I wanted a semi-modular synth for a while, and I dig demos. Also, it has an interesting feature - an envelope follower and a pitch to CV converter. I wonder if it tracks well in bass range. Maybe putting before it a well-tracking digital octaver...

    Hi, 44 looks like a nice number, can I get it please?

    Actually, I don't have a number too, I hope I can get one? BTW, SRF body shape actually does differ from other Soundgears. I've got an used tight-fitting Premium case and the lower horn doesn't sit right. It's shorter, but the angle is bigger, so the horn sticks out just a bit.

    Hello, I have a question - it seems that SRF has a little bit deeper lower cut and shorter lower horn than other Soundgears. Would an SR case fit it right? It seems like it should, but now I have doubts...

    Definitely a loose nut saddle, as pressing the string into the nut stops the rattle, and releasing the finger from it after plucking the string returns the noise. Loosening the string a bit and cleaning the saddle didn't helped much. Will contact Thomann support tomorrow. Maybe putting a little...

    Actually, it seems like something wrong with nut - when I press the string just on it, there is no rattle. What should I do, aside from contacting Thomann? EDIT: Maybe take the string off, look at the nut, maybe there are little fragments between the nut and the string left from cutting that...

    Hello! Sorry for a stupid question, but I've got my SRF705 yesterday. It's my first bass, so I don't know if it's normal: a rattling sound on the open B string when plucked hard enough. It's certainly not the fretboard noise, and hopefully not a truss rod issue either - doesn't look like that...

    I have Ibanez SRF in mind - it has no lines on fretboard, but there are lines on the side, they say it's pretty much as good. If it will not be enough, I'll need to figure out a way to use stickers or something without smearing fingerboard until I'll get muscle memory. Also, maybe keeping tuner...

    Thanks. That's because I've reread it twice before posting :) Thanks. I doubt it, especially since I want to start with fretless...

    Hello! I'm a complete newbie at bass. I've come here because it's one of the best bass resources, and probably the best free one. I went to music school as a kid and learned piano, but lost most of my already small skill over the years due to not practicing much. Recently my interest to music...
