I printed it, scanned it back as a PDF, and then succeeded in getting a score from that. Makes sense, since the second generation is just a picture of a score, and the scanning software has no reason to set any restrictive metadata. Thanks to all the ideas I took another run at it and got a...

I'll check into this, thanks.

Well, you asked for a recommendation. In this case though, yes, I use it regularly. It works well when it works at all. Some PDFs it won't process and I can't tell why. It's like anything, you have to try it for yourself.

The Musescore app (Win, Mac, Linux) has an Import PDF function that takes PDFs, and it has the ability to Export Music XML files. The software uses a cloud service that is part of Musescore.com. You can download the software and use Musescore.com for free, but it seems they work too hard to get...

Nice. Thanks for letting us know. With this any PD 3.1 power bank would work. More and more, that's what we would have anyway.

+1 using D4 buying a bass. I brought it and a battery and my own cable when I checked out a bass advertised on Craigslist. We've bought from CL listers in the past and you never know what the seller's situation will be, nor even if you will have access to power. This way I have a known, clean...

If the powerbank supports the PD protocol, and the description should make it clear, that looks pretty good.

MuseScore has functionality to import PDFs. When the import works it is easy to show a staff as a bass tab. (Free music composition and notation software | MuseScore)

Lots of places / no one place, at least in my experience. I've used several and they seem interchangeable. The thing I always look for is scores in MusicXML or another compatible format, so not a PDF. I use the open source program MuseScore to open scores, turn on and off the display of parts...

Your post reminded me - I had a similar experience where it seemed I needed to plug into AC to be able to get the Krisdonia power bank to power on again. In my case it was that I wasn't waiting long enough with the power button pressed and held for the unit to turn on. I think I was revved up...

The Double 4 is twice as loud and it can be powered by a battery. The drivers in the new Nanobass may be better.

With mine I use a Krisdonia Portable Laptop Charger (TSA-Approved) 92.5Wh/25000mAh. Works great and runs for hours: https://a.co/d/fbxeRO8

I have the same battery and have used it in band practice (3+ hours) a couple of times, and in a short gig in a pretty large, echoey room. Our group has two amped guitars and a banjo, those three on vocals, plus me on bass. No drummer and probably overall not super loud. So far I've never seen...

I tested my Double Four with two different passive basses. With the output on the bass all the way up, and the Input Level on the amp also all the way up: switch on Low - neither can light the clip indicator LED switch on High - one clips (blinks the clip indicator) pretty easily, but the other...

The USB-C battery pack option makes the Nanobass even more appealing. I'd love to hear how it holds up in an acoustic jam. I play with 3 or 4 folks occasionally, all vocalists on acoustic instruments - banjo, 2 or 3 guitars, or a mando or dobro, and an occasional electric guitar. Plus me on...
