G2M Octave jumps with a fretless bass
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2020 11:27 am
Hello,
Recently I bought a G2M v.3 and tried playing with my fretless bass, but I get very frequent octave errors where it plays around one of every three notes one octave lower. Is there a remediation to this? Also it doesn't produce any sound through the most part of the high C-string I have on the bass.
My bass is Ibanez SRH505F - 5-string fretless, with a piezzo pick-up. I tuned it with a high C string (EADGC), a custom nut built for that tuning. Raised action enough to reduce buzz. I am playing close to the neck, have reduced the high frequencies with the tone knob to its minimum, I do use a floating-thumb muting technique to reduce string resonance, the volume is set correctly to be loud enough, without overloading. Still the octave jumps are there though. I tried different G2M settings - for 4, and 5-string bass, and also for guitar - still the same. Which of these settings should be best for my case of a 5-stringer with a high C-string (I guess it should be 4-string bass setting)? Also, no matter of which setting I choose, the high C-string plays only on its lowest 3-4 semitones, and on the rest it doesn't produce anything like it has been deliberately forced to not play there, while this is exactly where I would like to use the G2M with the bass most.
