This was the perfect song for a demo too.

Ok… Ernie Ball needs one of those .

Any specs as to what the pickup system is? Doesn't look like it has a separate Roland pickup, and the latency is way too low for that anyway. I can't remember the name of the system that uses a piezo bridge and sensors embedded in the frets for super accurate triggering, but is it that?

EDIT TO ADD: Sounds phenomenal, but I'd expect nothing less from such a talented musician. And AG tunes down to A-standard, so whatever pickup system this thing is using is truly next level.

In the comments he says he's triggering a Roland VB99. Since there's no visible Roland pickup on the bass, I'd assume it's got a piezo pickup in each bridge saddle, sending the individual string signals to the VB99 via standard Roland 13 pin cable.

The basses with wired frets are currently made by Industrial Radio. The same guy behind Industrial Radio (Steve Chick) designed the Peavey MidiBase/CyberBass, which work the same way.

I think it might be FretTraX since their electronics can be retrofitted into other basses. I know at least one TB member that's gotten FretTraX installed in their bass but I don't remember who. If it's just MIDI/piezo pickups, then that's damned impressive tracking.
