Good luck! www.ibassmag.com

We're right in the thick of testing the iPad version and looking at different ways to bundle it with what's currently available online. We'll keep you posted, but do get in touch with any thoughts or suggestions.. we're not too far away now. As for transparency in gear reviews, what we're trying to do with ibass is give you a general outline of what the product is and what it can/can't do, and then allow you to form your own opinions via video and audio examples. We're filming interviews with manufacturers and putting gear in the hands of pro players to test - that's working really well. We recently sat Stefan Redtenbacher down with a Zon Sonus and hit record! We know how hard it is to form an opinion about new gear without trying it first hand. With this digital format we'd like to think we can get you a step closer. www.ibassmag.com

[color=#292929]We've split each issue into 4 main sections...[/color] [color=#292929]To begin with we bring you up to date with all the latest goings on in the bass world.. introducing new gear, competitions and upcoming players, the latest news and releases plus our recommended listening.. visit www.kiosk.ibassmag.com and click on 'magazines' and then 'preview' to get a glimpse of the opening pages..

Not only can you look over each bass, get the specs and read what we think of them.. but you can actually hear what they sound like and judge for yourself. What's more, we recorded a bunch of vintage Fender's to see how they compare to these new 'best of' models..[/color] [color=#292929]Finally, the tuition section, which is currently headed up by Scott Devine and Andrew McKinney.. with Stefan Redtenbacher joining them for issue 2. Each page features an exclusive video lesson along with performance notes and notation.
