LightWave basses with the Magnetic Hybrid option have a
conventional magnetic pickup in addition to the LightWave Optical
Pickup System. The iceTone piezo transducers have been omitted,
so that the fifth deck control knob controls the blend between the
magnetic and optical pickup outputs. The knob has a center detent,
which represents equal output between the two pickups; rotating to
either end will result in only the magnetic or only the optical pickup
system sound being heard. In addition, the Warm / Cool toggle
switch of standard Saber Basses has been omitted, and replaced
with a bypass toggle, to allow direct passive output of the magnetic
pickup. The other controls operate as on standard Saber Basses.
The Master Volume and Tone Controls affect both the optical and
magnetic pickups.
6. HexFX EDITION
LightWave basses equipped with the HexFX option have a 13-pin
DIN output jack and the deck controls to enable playing through
and controlling MIDI converters, hex DSP processing devices,
and string fanout boxes. The LightWave output signals and deck
controls on these instruments are fully compatible with the ‘GK’
standards for existing MIDI-ready guitars and basses.
