So far I’m extremely impressed with the potential of the GR-55 and I love the Warwick as well. Here’s a video of what I’ve come up with so far, hopefully there will be plenty more from me using this in the near future. So, I installed a Roland GK-3B divided MIDI pickup onto my new Warwick “Steve Bailey” Artist Series bass a few weeks ago and bought the GR-55. And having looked at the Roland GR-55 I was convinced that the technology was good enough. You can make drum sounds with the bass and the Roland GR-55, but that doesn’t interest me so I didn’t.įor a long time I’ve wanted to try out playing my bass through a Roland guitar synth. All the sounds in the video apart from drums are made using the bass played through the Roland GR-55.

That’s a lot for an instrumental bass video. However, when I listen to it now I really like it, and it’s proved popular on Youtube with nearly 20,000 views. This video is actually an effort from very early on in my Roland GR-55 use. When the Roland GR-55 came out and the GK-3B divided pickup for 6-string bass. I always wanted to experiment with synth sounds on my bass. Using a Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth with a Bass
