Picked this bad boy up for $150 today. Came with a cheap mic, xlr cable, power cables and manual. It looks like it's never been used. I love local buys!

here's where its getting it's signal from.

I wanted to improve my playing and I've never been able to hear myself play (recorded) because I've never had anything to record with. This thing popped up on a local forum for cheap and it has a 40gig internal HD! All the computer is going to do is store the songs!

Mic up the band you play in and start recording the practices. then turn down your track and enjoy comfortable practices with zero politics. I to have got a recording system. It is a handy tool.

Best of luck and a good find.

Wish I could mic up the band, but alas, no band atm. focusing more on theory and learning how to apply it to a bass.

I belive Tascam or Korg makes the Bass Trainer. Works great for learning songs.

You will love the DP01FX, I got one in '05 and it's still going strong.
