Check out Jay Dynasty!

I've been playing bass professionally for about 30 years now and I'm a total book junky.I probably have most bassbooks ever written ( doesn't mean I actuallly have worked through all of them but I'm doing what I can) and I'm always looking for new stuff to give me inspiration and tools to get better.
So I saw this ad on TBL I got curious and clicked on the ad Basslessons online the address is
www.learn-the-bass-online.com
The teacher is a guy named Jay Dynasty.He calls himself a Sony Records performing artist who has been teaching for 20 years.
There are two soundsamples of him playing.Sort of a musical calling card.To show you that he's the guy to take you to that next level.
One example is Jay playing the Funk the other showcases his mastery of the Jazz idiom.
All I want to say is that I was speechless.Now that I have recovered I want to share my new discovery with all of you.
Check him out and give us your thoughts!

A quick Google of "Jay Dynasty" shows that his career has mostly been in selling "get rich quick through the internet" programs. The guy and his program stink of hucksterism. Those samples, btw, are two seconds of riffs that a 7 year old with six months of instruction could easily have come up with and performed. The claims of the program are a give away...they strongly imply that through their system, you will get "signed"--anyone who says that is flat out BSing you to take your money.

I clicked on that yesterday myself. I wasn't that impressed with the samples he had and totally ignored the 'we can get you signed' deal. I was more interested in actual instruction and could it offer that. I posted a thread about it and a fellow member said that he had the course and it was basically nothing but where to go download songs in tab. I also did a web search for Dynasty's 'partner' and there is not such man by that name as a world renowned musician.

Needless to say I passed on it.

How can he be stopped from running his scam on this site?Preferably he should be shut down completely.

Are you kidding me? I personally went out and bought this course several months ago... and let me tell you it stank. Jay Dynasty is most definitely a scammer. He owns both Music Master Pro, as well as the equally scammy site InstrumentMasterPro.com. You have to search a bit to find an honest review of the product, but I got one here:

All I can say to those looking at this product is, don't bother.
