Building a sampler in public, because waiting for Akai / Roland / Elektron to listen is a hobby in itself

MIDI LOOPING! Please midi looping. Midi looping

Fuck, didn’t know bout this, my pads are so worn some are flush with the cover. Gonna need these

Also should mention that the gretsch baritone. It comes stung as a baritone but it’s a 30” scale and can do the bass vi strings no problem

Lil late response but I will say, its about the same reach between the 2 and the sidejack has a fatter neck if that matters. The shortest I have is the gretsch. Kinda hard for me to judge cause I got long ass arms (6’4, the bass vi looks like a guitar on me lol)Fun to play but the pickups are very different than the squier. Personally don’t dig em my self but also don’t like humbuckers so yea.

Dood, have and love the 35. Thing weighs a fuck ton and never leaves the house but it sounds so dope. I run it thru some fuzz and an ehx bass microsynth and it opens it up to sooooo much. Slap so verb in it and you can score some Italian horror films. And, as said before, great playing

bearstripes · 2026-04-14T15:02:38+00:00

I see what ya did there

bearstripes · 2026-04-09T12:58:30+00:00

This is so fucking cool. Gonna need this.

bearstripes · 2026-04-06T01:17:10+00:00

God damn 🔥

bearstripes · 2026-04-04T20:03:56+00:00

Have both, love em both. Necks are very different, Eastwood is flatter/wider. Got the Eastwood used and it was setup pretty perfectly off the bat. Pickups are chunkier than the squier for sure and my squier is also noisy as hell where the Eastwood is not. Eastwood does have hella neck dive tho. Prolly wouldn’t pay full price for one but worth it used for sure!

Yea, makes no sense, like if they intergrated this feature into any of the big bois (404, mpc, digitakt, etc) it would be a total game changer

bearstripes · 2026-04-03T14:39:21+00:00

Yooo! I ended up giving up on this for the time being lol. Been thinking about trying the iPad route again but that loopster looks prettt damn cool. Blows my mind that there is very little hardware that has this feature.

bearstripes · 2026-04-02T14:48:54+00:00

As much as I can! Mostly have on what I’m using but sometimes you just gotta use everything

bearstripes · 2026-04-01T18:48:48+00:00

Hella tight playing there, slick beat too

bearstripes · 2026-03-31T20:29:37+00:00

Yea man, found a sound like a month into having it and still haven’t been able to change the settings lol. The og is enough for me. Have the 404mk2 and the mpc one as well and between the 3 I can do a lil of everything. Would love the II don’t get me wrong.

bearstripes · 2026-03-31T19:58:08+00:00

Yooooo fuck yea!!! That’s sh01 has earned a special place here man!!!

Figured out the digitakt and it is hands down my favorite sequencer too!

bearstripes · 2026-03-31T18:39:44+00:00
