Anybody know if there are plans to come out with a Roland-compatible MM? I saw a demo of the new Roland VG-99 and it was amazing. It should be out in late July or August. A built-in hex pickup and 13-pin on an Axis or something would be really cool....

Don't hold your breath, unless you have enough air in you lungs to last several decades.
You can always get a retrofit done?

Whats the install like on a retrofit? Possible to do yourself? I've always thought having a Roland equipped JP would be topnotch.

actually Im always interested in pushing forward. I think that Fender has the exclusive on this from the factory. I was very close to being the first guitar offered with the Variaz installed but at the last minute Fender expressed interest and then Line 6 folded on us.
(Even though the first questikon in negotiations was what if Fender or Gibson expresses interest..."Dont worry we want you") I like the guys over there though and you can't blame them.....
I think I got lucky as the Variax didnt really perform up to my standards. (and Fender bailed)

Hey BP -
How about a USB out for direct to computer recording? Any thoughts on that?

But then there's the issue of Windows compatibility... we know where that would end up. I say just buy an adapter and use a good sound card. It's cheaper that way for you and them.

The VG-99 has me drooling too. Now that I have a JP LE on order and my other JP will become my regular player, I've been toying with the idea of retrofitting my Sub with a GK-3. It looks like it would be fairly easy to do.

I have to be honest. I've been using Macs since 1984. Windows compatibility never crossed my mind! Besides - that's a software issue - not a hardware issue.

Nah, instead of USB, and Variass, and 13-pins... guitar builders should focus on a guitar with a built in ice cream maker.
after a gig, musicians are usually hot due to the stage lights, lack of oxygen in smoky clubs, etc... having a built in ice cream maker in the guitar would ensure that hot musicians (and maybe a lucky groupie!) get the cool cool flavorful taste of chunky ice cream.
i know i'm not alone in this request.

Guitar makers should replace string trees with those automotive scented trees... I hate smelling smoke while I play. I used to sing for an opera company and the tech crew would stand on the loading dock and smoke. You could smell it onstage... horrible...
But that's just me...
