It happened on Thanksgiving weekend of 2018. Aaron Kipness had sent the unit, and I was taking advantage of the long holiday weekend to get it running. I wanted to try it on the Lightwave bass because the optical pickups didn&#8217;t permit an eBow to be used on it.\n<br><br>\n\nI mentioned to Aaron via messenger that I was putting the Gizmotron on a bass with a piezo in the bridge. I sent him a video clip, and he noticed the wheels weren\u2019t aligned yet; there was a rattling and some other noises that normally don\u2019t happen with a dialed in Gizmotron. First day trying it out and all.<br><br>\n\nI didn\u2019t know the difference, and my mind was heading in a different direction. I replied, \u201cAll that noise could be spectacular with a distortion pedal.\u201d<br><br>\n\nHe replied \u201cIf you can make something out of that, that would be impressive.\ufffc\u201d<br><br>\n\nMy answer was sent via text, a simple, #challengeaccepted<br><br>\n\nTwo distortion pedals were hooked up and this video dropped to the inter-webs 15 minutes later.<br><br>\n<p><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Round 1 of the Gizmotron 2.0 on a Lightwave Saber VL5\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2dFxsDI0umw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\n\nFile this under mistakes that are satisfying.<br><br>\n\nGear on and off the screen; Lightwave Saber VL5 fretless, Gizmotron 2.0, Carl Martin Bass Overdrive, EHX Bass Soul Food with JHS Bread and Butter Mod (engaged for this video), GHS strings, Warwick LWA1000 head, Warwick 4 10 cabinet.<br><br>\n\nThanks for having me on the team Aaron!
