Very nice. I use the PK7a pedals with the Nord C1. His bass lines sound great. Not easy with only 13 short pedals.

Great stuff!

Although I admire that foot talent.... I prefer a real bass player any day. I can't get around that Blurred bass sound......it all sounds like one note.

That 'blurred' sound is a result of having to put a little sustain on the notes, especially when using short pedals (no heel-and-toe). No way around it, just have to try and optimize the sustain time and keep practicing your toe-only technique. What's worse? No sustain. Try a walking bass line (on pedals) with an un-modified 'B'. Not good.

Sorry, the previous post lost it's meaning when Donny edited his post about not liking the 'blurred' sound of pedals. This is just by way of explanation.
