You might think that this can not be a real product. You’re right, but it is in development, at least that what the maker says. There is even a link to a prototype, but it’s still a far cry from a finished and working Plattabass.
Proposed specs, courtesy Ray:
- 2 assignable cross faders, an extreme pitch control that goes to zero RMP, a thumb worn magnet that triggers a sensor inlaid in the back of the neck
- Three control knobs, and 2 TRS stereo outputs
- Fender P bass neck, Basslines 1/4 pound pickups, and Fender flat-wound strings
- Technics 1200 motor, plater , and controls
- The experimental, spring loaded ,3 pole, zero drag stylus cartridge caddy / Bas string bridge, will be a one off custom piece of metal work
- I will need a dsp unit that has a phono preamp built in, I was thinking I could cannibalize a Rane TTM-56
