haha, i got the pics of the controller unit. but they are bad, and the led light ruins them
im still looking at fitting the touch pad on-to the bass body but....

anyone know of bass with a large space under the bridge?

 

[dannybuoy]

Could you fit it next to the bridge instead?

hmmm,
dont see why not.
have to be above it, playerside rather than groundside. - pots would get in the way and what not.
i have no room on my tanglewood, and i wouldnt do it on any of my fenders, so it looks like i will wait haha

right now ive found sooooo many guides and KP2 pads, i have finaly found a pad too. I have also figured out how to save my KP2 pad so i dont have to take it apart. Its all just a matter of : time,pattience,consistancy,and mainly TIME(again) to get this to work. Im applying this mod to an Ibanez JTK bass (Jet King) heres the link to a photo

The Matt Bellamy guitar is half of the idea here. His is actually just a midi controller. He has no audio running through it. He controls a midi device wirelessly from it. It is the same X-Y pad you get in the Kaoss Pad, but none of the sounds from it.

I have used a Kaoss Pad with audio through it, but I was not totally impressed, maybe I didn't mess with it enough.

Now, to control midi... I like it.
