Hey Fritz:
 
If you ever mount it, check the wheels really carefully. The problem I had with mine is that the wheels warp and twist on their axles, and will potentially break apart because they touch the strings unevenly.
 
I had to re-adjust all mine and it took a long time / much patience to do.
 
Good Luck!
 
 
Chris

I have a brand new, still in the box Bass Gizmotron that I plan to put on a frettless bass some day....now I just have to get a good bass, my current fretless is a piece of crap and I sold my 1969 fretless P-bass during a moment of insanity.  I use to play fretless exclusively. ...sigh.. .the idiocy of youth

And of course, theyre using the Gizmotron for the cello sound and background noise as well.
 
The Gizmotron, what a great idea. Shame the production version didn't live up to the original prototype. I actually got to play the original once and that worked really well, all handcrafted and metal bits. Sadly the production version was plastic.
