I hate to keep bringing up the Midi pickup topic, but it still interests me for the future..
Heres what im curious about.. If I was to get a GK-3 (right here Roland U.S. - GK-3: Divided Pickup ) And put that on a 7 string, lining it up with the normal 6 strings, ignoring the low B string, Would that make any issues for tracking? My plan, is to have midi capabilities on the top 6 strings (cause thats the only way it tracks correctly) but still have it as a functional normal guitar when not using midi, which I only want to play 7s.
I do realize its impossible to track 7 strings at a time, and im fine with that, I dont want to track the low B, I just want the normal 6 string tracking to work, then when I turn midi off, to be able to play a 7 still.
So I guess if anyone knows if having that B string there will do any sort of tampering to the tracking, like if I hit it by accident lets say, or weither just being where it is, if it'll vibrate and cause a ruckus or whatever.. Hmmm. Anyone know about this?? I wanna know so bad, I might order the GK-3 right now, test it on my 7 string (using double sided tape) then if it works, go ahead and order up the 7 string I was planning on installing it on, but if it doesnt work, keeping it for at least a 6 string, cause uh I think either way, im gonna get a Midi guitar. I thinks.
Any help is appreciated, thanks abunch.
