sorry you're right! i'll move the post there...

Hello fellow bass players! A couple of weeks ago I've discovered this new product surfing on the web: Bass Brites. They wrote in the description that it improves the sound of your strings immediately. Is that true? I wanted to try so I've ordered 1 box (it includes 30 wipes). Meanwhile I was testing it I've also recorded two video clips: - full version (in italian) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DADaXAy98pk[/media] - cut version [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y50jUAnHv5E[/media] Well in my opinion IT WORKS! The nickel strings were pretty old (not already dead but on the way...), I wiped with Bass Brites and waited 24 hours (as suggested). The strings now sound much brighter!! Cool!! They don't sound totally new (I don't think it's possible), but sound almost new and in any case much better! I don't know if you can hear the real difference on this video (I guess Youtube compression will remove some high frequencies) but I hope so (try watching it in HD)! Ciao! Alberto

Hello there! I started using Peterson tuners a couple of months ago. I tried several many tuners in the past and I was not happy with them because the tracking of low notes like B and A was pretty slow and not accurate. Peterson has a great tracking and is really accurate. I really love them! I'm using strobosoft and stroboclip. I'm thinking about getting a stroborack. Check out this video review i've made! ciao! Alberto

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tho3t7UC_Ec"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tho3t7UC_Ec[/url] i2M Musicport is an audio interface (USB) with a high impedence input and it's also a fast tracking, low-latency, monophonic MIDI Converter. And.. the really cool thing is that you don't need any special pickup, like hexaphonic pickups! cheers! Alberto
