Yes it was advertised on Facebook. It's pretty good, but the advertisement made it look much better.

Hi William I been looking at these for years how did you like it?

It's interesting. I purchased this to check their implementation. In the patent, the implementation was really nice, and really similar to Cambridge laser scanners made in 1992. That's what attracted me to this. I wanted to see how well an optical scanner pickup would work for a Bass guitar. But what they actually executed really wasn't all that good. (Sorry to say, but that's how I feel.) So their optical pickup is not very good. The patent is expired now so maybe someone will execute on the idea better. However, what I found fascinating was the Piezo pickups. The sound was very interesting and I think *somebody* could do something interesting here. But again, the implementation from Lightwave wasn't that great. They changed the Piezo part recently so maybe it's better now. Frustratingly, it seems that there are no Elon Musks inventing guitar and Bass pickups, at least not what I've seen...

@@WilliamBennerJr Thanks for the feed back, I have been going back and forth for a couple of years about buying one. But I see most people who purchase them sell them. I even talked to the owner of the company once who was offering me a deal. I do think its an interesting concept. But also dont want to purchase a bass that's going to sit there. If I get one at the right prince maybe I will pick one up.

does it basically sound like an acoustic bass tone?

So many tones are available. I can't say it's purely like an acoustic because there are several switch position, several tone controls, etc. A lot to play with actually. Maybe too much. I must say, I just leave the tone control on my Fender "wide open". May as well only have a volume control, but that's just me ;-)
