So looking at the SA site I'm surprised to see that it seems like the Soleman has been discontinued. Is there a replacement coming or do I need to look elsewhere for a MIDI control solution? And if so any ideas on a simple controller unit would be gratefully received - it would mostly be for...

I suspect it was intended more to compete with the Stingray - and wasn’t one of the Gibson masses at the time active? The Victory maybe?

Sorry I didn’t mean to muddy the waters. 😀

I had one in the 80’s that I sold years ago when I was short of money - I missed it and was able to find one in good shape for a reasonable price. I agree that it’s definitely on the heavy side but I find the neck very playable- and I’m normally a jazz neck style fan. I like the preamp which...

Well, as the OP has deleted his account and appears to have cut and run rather than admit he may have been mistaken it appears the point is probably moot. Always my favourite Rick Springfield quote.

Except it wasn't a customer service fail. You got an answer you didn't like which is that the company clearly stated that they don't provide "repairs or services". You then asked the same question and got pissy when you didn't get a different answer. You then send them an insulting email...

Oh my.

Oh no. One of the greatest to ever play this instrument. Very sad news.

Had my Ken Lawrence for just about right on 30 years now and I don't think it's missed a gig since - it may have to share the time once in a while but it's always there.

I came back to Neuro 3 after having some issues when it first came out and I'm still having a problem with it. I d/l'ed the newest version and installed but when I start it none of the info is displayed - I get the background graphics but not the contents. Not sure if there's a setting I need...
