very true.

i would love to learn electric violin, but all of my money goes towards random GAS pursuits, leaving none for other great stuff.

it's also great having friends who are great folk violinists, who can stoke up a jig (is that a real phrase?) at a party..... awesome!

If you like that then try almost anything a guy called Ric Sanders is on.

Although he is more Rock / folk influenced, hes an ex member of Fairport Convention and played for a load of other bands like 'All about Eve', Soft Machine (post Allan Holdsworth) and others.

The demos were pretty cool

I liked that clip though - nice use of FX too

I might be able to manage that but it would lose the expressive qualities of the violin unless you somehow bent strings or used a whammy pedal.

Hmm, true. Why don't they just paint the frets on?

+100000

if they did, i would buy one NOW!

the only problem i find with violins is how i never put my finger on the right note. it's always 1 or 2 semitones off, which makes it sound like cr@p.

mind you, i was trying to play Enter Sandman  :wink:

I _REALLY_ like the idea of a fretted violin, instruments should evolve positively, not stay in the dark ages...

Love the idea of that viper, but i guess they don't come cheap?

I used to play violin in primary school, but the lack of frets always pissed me off, but i loved the sound it created when you got it right...  i'd love a fretted violin, i can't see myself being bothered learning all that muscle memory cr@p... again >.<

(Embarassed cough...) Am I the only one here old enough to remember this one ?  :oops:

Used to love this .... was even known to dance to it after sufficient intake of alcohol.(not a pleasing sight)  :roll:  :roll:

(In my next life I'm coming back as the red thong holding the walkman in place 1min 12 secs into the video)
