I thought the R-Pi has GPi/os. Is it not possible to use switches
connected direct?

Ya, Last D.A. I saw was about 1974. It was a bass, but was short scale so
the intonation was problematic. It was heavy. The owner went from that to
a Rick.

They look nice. How easy is it to keep them clean? Or are finger marks not
visible more than 5 feet away anyway? Says 9 pounds... I haven't weighed
any of mine...Hohner (the jack) headless - 7lbs - Rickenbacker bass - 10
lbs - squire katana bass (ex rental now fretless) 7.3 lbs So weight is not
an issue.
