Thanks for the tip... I had actually started a thread asking about this last month. I am adding your suggestions to my list of experiments to try when I get my JTV and can play with workbench.

I figured that just tuning the Ricky 325 down by an octave should create a convincing 4001, wouldn't you think!? Just kidding, of course.

I am interested in the Variax Bass. It is a shame that you can't actually use the Variax Bass emulations with the Variax Guitars. You'd think you could get pretty close to the same results if they did the programming to make it a possibility. I'd love to be able to put a couple of my favorite bass emulations into those custom slots on the JTV. But in lieu of that, I'll start with your blueprint. Thanks.

Great Thanks.

BTW, should have this on line 6 wish list for JTV update. Roland have bass emulations on their COSM for VG-99 GR-55 etc. and the demos are quite impressive including thumping slapping pulling (however the amp and effect modeling is quite bad IMHO). http://youtu.be/Y716lKKPzUg
