    Sounds great! What are the other controls in the bass? Is the Distiller CE running after another preamp right before the output? Noting they are East knobs is it a Uni-Pre?

    Hello friend, I'm a grs lover, I have the gr-55, gr-33 and gr-20, I'm thinking about purchasing the gm-800, but I have some doubts. From your point of view, has it improved the issues of ghost notes and latency in relation to the grs?

  • @CombinatorMusic

    I think they're both somewhat improved, but not to the point of not being an issue for bass players playing in their lower range, specifically.

    @@bertonedes It's generally not related to frets - it's a function of the mass and vibrational characteristics of the instrument - all instruments - from what I understand. In rare cases it could be worsened by a poorly seated fret, but any physical body will have one or more resonant frequencies. Suspension bridge engineers are acutely aware of this.
