Just a quick note:
I got my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R working with the pi following the
wiki. It's a USB 2.0 device.
Thank you!

Though making an enclosure and buying the switches (that can handle

you going to add any other controls? (pots or other programing kinds of

I bought some cheap switches and I've got some broken things lying
around and my ultimate goal would be to make a simple USB-MIDI
footswitch with some extra knobs to adjust parameters. But that will be
a long term project (two kids, solderingironophobia).
I thought the R-Pi has GPi/os. Is it not possible to use switches
connected direct?
Yes that's also possible. There are even PCB designs available of MIDI
expansion boards, maybe I'll take a look at that. Apparently it's very
cheap these days to have PCB's made.
Is that a Dan Armstrong? Or does someone else make clear (and very
heavy)
body guitars?
Answered this in another mail.
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.
Ampeg has reissued the Dan Armstrong model so you can still get them.
They're way more expensive though. But they're beautiful guitars with the
double cut and the interchangeable pickups.
In addition, there are some manufacturers
that use
PMMA/acrylic/lucite/perspex bodies. The most well-known at the
moment is ECG (Electrical Guitar Company). They have two lucite
signature models with aluminum necks (how awesome is that), the Brent
Hinds (Mastodon) Custom and one of the coolest contemporary guitars, the
King Buzzo (Melvins) Standard:

They look nice. How easy is it to keep them clean? Or are finger marks not
visible more than 5 feet away anyway?
I never clean the body, still looks good after like 4 years.
Says 9 pounds... I haven't weighed
any of mine...Hohner (the jack) headless - 7lbs -
Rickenbacker bass - 10
lbs
That must be a 400X ;)
Jeremy
- squire katana bass (ex rental now fretless) 7.3 lbs So weight is not
an issue.
