Fortunately I have the old Hal Leonard produced Michael Manring instructional DVD. Complete with tab book, and full tuning descriptions for the 4 solo pieces from the album Thonk, so at least I have something to work on.
What I have to realise is that it's not really a bass, and it's not a guitar either. It just happens to be a stringed instrument that can do 4 trombone slides at the same time with the tuning heads! (help me!!!!!!!!)
Bets will be taken for how long it takes me to stick a set of 40-100 on it and just use it as a fretless!
