>>I have an older Roland GI-10. Everyone that has used the Axon and the Roland GI-10 or -20 says the Axon is better.<< I have an axon 50, which is being knocked out at a very good price both in the uk & the us at the moment. it has no onboard sounds, & works with the roland gk pickups. I also have an old GI-10, & with guitar the axon is *significantly* more reliable. in fact, I hooked up my old sunn strat to it & found I didn't need to make any adjustments besides putting it into guitar-mode. besides this, it's much easier (with a mac or pc hooked up to it) to get it to operate different zones on the fretboard, & also to do different things depending where you pick. this latter is untested in my setup, but I'm anxious to give it a go & will report when I have. I bought the axon because I've been using a couple of peavey midibases; one of them is actually a decent bass aswell (the serial numbers are three apart, but the difference in tone is marked), but is still no match for a decent fender or rickenbacker, & I hate to leave my good basses at home & gig the peavey when the midi component of what I do is quite minimal. but so far, with the ax50 in proper adjustment, I have had trouble with (bizarrely) the higher notes on the g string; it wraps around to the octave below at around the 10th fret. everywhere else, it tracks pretty good (remember, I have been spoiled by the peavey, which uses split-frets switching). I am using a roland gk2b (a hexaphonic p/u designed for aircraft-carrier bass sixers); the only problem here is that the front panel connector on the ax50 is a little insubstantial. hope this is useful somehow. duncan.
