A post in another thread got me thinking of this. Have them display the pre-electronics levels, so that they light even when playing softly, or have it switchable. I think it would look way cool. Man oh man, I wish I'd win the lottery, then I could afford more of this stuff.. And Happy New Year everybody!!

THAT would be cool. mattheus Member Username: mattheus Post Number: 89 Registered: 5-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 4:34 am:    > I've seen and met a British guy who makes basses with indeed the Leds > acting like a VU-meter.

I would love to see that. The British guy wouldn't be Andy of Andy's Guitar Shop in Soho (27 Denmark Street), would it? I visited his basement shop and got to play some of his basses in '79, and they were really nice. He borrowed a lot of ideas from Alembic. He did JPJ's setup work at the time, so he had easy access to many of Alembic's latest goodies..
