BEHRINGER V-TONE BASS BDI21 A couple of black scuff marks on the side, and one on the front. They are not large scratches, i think something rubbed when on a pedal board. [I got this from a fellow Bass chatter a few months back, and it had been on a board] He told me he had it from new, Jan 2011. I have only used it a couple of times, it was a back up for my Sans Amp whilst out on touring show. All works fine with no issues, and looks in good condition. Great little DI/Drive unit. From the Website. [i]Behringer V-Tone Bass BDI21 - analog modeling bass pre-amp/stompbox with DI recording output, thomann authentic V-Tone modeling technology capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, funky slap sounds, crunchy distortions and anything in-between, provides a truckload of great amps in a single stomp box from traditional bass amps to modern overdriven amp tones that would typically thomann require a multitude of effects units, authentic tube emulation circuitry can be mixed with the direct bass signal via blend control, dual DI mode for either direct recording output with tube emulation or standard active direct injection box in bypass mode, output available thomann on 1/4'' TS or balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors, ground lift switch. Can be powered via 1x 9V battery or DC power supply (not included)[/i] [size=4][u][b]SOLD[/b][/u][/size] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/42/behringer2600x450.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/behringermark3600x450.jpg/"][/url] Cheers Garry

Look on the Youtube page, [first post] There is a guy who was pals with Jaco when he ripped the frets out... Garry

Cheers for that, sounds like a good listen. Garry

[quote name='Jack Cahalane' timestamp='1330028239' post='1551783'] All the theory knowledge in the world won't help you when the Chinese take over. [/quote] That's were you are w[r]ong. The Chinese love their old five note scale with the odd Heptatonic thrown in. So when they take over, make sure you know your Pentatonic scales. -
Firewire vs USB is pretty much out dated, it was mainly based on USB 1. Good Asio drivers from the vender and multi core/fast processors will get you very low latency for tracking Audio in. However after that, mixdown or using VST's and VSTI's, there is no need to use very low latency. Up the buffers for that. In Cubase 6 i can easily use 30 + instances of Kontakt sampler with Orchestral samples loaded, plus a few other Synths and many FX. This is on a W7 x64 [16 gig RAM] System using the Roland Quad capture, and still running under 50%. cpu. And by today's standards, that is not excessive or even close to what some people can and indeed reach. Look at many high end Audio cards , very much USB 2 [with USB 3 on the way] If they were not up to the job, i am sure they would have vanished. Garry

[quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1330003057' post='1551148'] the roland quad capture, its a about the same price as the tc, but the preamps are far superior in opinion my and the latency is the lowest i have ever had on a usb interface, there are also onboard dynamics and samplerates support up to 24bit/192kHz also with usb 3 getting more support a lot of companies are begining to phase out firewire [/quote] Big +1 for this unit, although i am running mine on W7 x64 The latency is very low, and the drivers are real stable. Also the onboard dynamics features are pretty good to. Very much well worth the money.

Go to the Sadowsky workshop, if Roger is around he will make you feel most welcome, especially if he see's your debit or credit card. Manhattan is great, although as said above, compared to other parts of the States, not cheap. Garry -
I did a touring production through Europe with Godspell, some great tunes in the show. Not a real hard sight read, but an awful lot of transcribing. [getting paid i hope] Garry

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1329915141' post='1549557'] since you haven't done anything interesting recently, now that you've won this award you should f*** off and die [/quote] That's the problem - they don't. It's comeback tours by the skip load. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1329912076' post='1549471'] since starting on DB, my gigs have gone down by about 75% so the 'DB will get you more gigs' argument is not as robust as one would like to think [/quote] Possible you are in the wrong game then. Try something else, maybe writing books..... Good luck with the book Rob. Garry

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1329900936' post='1549181'] The creativity is in the chord changes, syncopation, form, arrangement........the list can go on. [/quote] This for me as well. Garry

Playing with velocities, and moving notes[hits] to either side of the grid line [not bang on] along with 'thinking' how a drummer would play the part goes along way to getting very usable Drum tracks. The EZdrummer midi files do this along with a lot of the stuff out there these days. Garry

I have done this show a few times, every where from the West End to Tokyo, Its a real blast to play on Bass. It's not that taxing, an easy [sight] read and as someone above said, If its a good band, its a real groove. Enjoy. Garry

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1329486452' post='1543215'] Just as an addendum to my last post, here's the first 30 pages of the Bert Ligon book for your perusal.

Yep, great stuff. Have been listening to DF's Night Fly album the last couple of days, and that is one of my Magic moment CD's. Garry

I cut mine down to only Two. [Well three, Charlie Parker Omni book in Bass clef] Mark Levine & Samual Adler. The Samual Adler book is ongoing for me. Mark Levine book i poke into every now and then. I seem to get more out of transcribing these days. Garry

As a freelancer, for me my essentials are.... Volume pedal, Sans Amp DI, Tuner. I have the rest, Chorus, Octave pedal etc. But will only take or use them if i know they are [really] needed. I keep it lean and clean and as less fussy as i can, mainly because its then a hassle free time with the engineer. Garry

'Magic' Musical moments in pop history - I was talking to someone yesterday about that very thing. Something magical to ones self is not always magical to others. I think that chord unites everyone and goes down in Music folk law. Would be interesting to see what other 'moments' people on this forum can come up with. Garry
