I have a Roland GR-30 and a Roland V-Bass (being the much less common bass 
version of the VG-88 series). I don't use them often, but did set them up 
last week for the first time in a while (Eagle 6-string fretless with GK 
pickup into the V-Bass, Chapman stick with GK pickup into the GR-30). 
Nice. Should play more with them.
