I have tried a bunch of these options. The Fdeck is great if you just need impedance buffering and HPF. Super clean and battery powered is convenient. The Broughton is functionally equivalent to the Fdeck to me and also works great. It is a different form factor that is a little more...

I have also evaluated Dorico and it seems like a solid option. I am not a Finale user, but If I was, and had the option to buy the pro version of Dorico for $150 I would be strongly considering it.

I have been using MuseScore for several years and am generally pretty happy with the results. It does not cost anything to use on Windows, Mac or Linux. Note that MuseScore the notation software (downloaded from musescore.org) is NOT the same as musescore.com which is a paid service that...

Seems to be a decent amount of discussion about these Vienna Strings basses from Talkbass from 20-10 years ago when they were being sold as new…. Not sure how to post a link using the site search, but google worked for me...

I recently finished up my trial with the EDB-2 VAP. Many thanks to John from Headway for letting us have the device to trial! I am a current and happy owner of the EDB2 HE, and I was curious to see how the new box compares. Overall, the VAP is a great product. It has several areas in which...

I've been using a Robpin since 2018. I initially struggled a bit with my endpin rotating in the socket and eventually filed a flat spot into the rod where the screw presses on the rod. The flat spot stopped the rotation, and like TroyK I enjoy the fact that every time I tighten down the endpin...

I’ll second (third, fourth?) the Perpetual Stark and Flex Deluxe suggestions. Both have worked well for me in a similar situation.

Line 6 Helix and Shift Line (Olympic MkIIIs and CabZone Bass) work well for loading IRs. Shift-Line also has a set of free IR files on their site that I really like for Bass Guitar. I've messed around with using IRs with my MK EUB, but haven't been playing the EUB much lately. Sometimes...

I’ve had my turn already.. Looks like you’re next Hasty…

I recently trialed the Redeye on my bass with a realist lifeline. In all I compared it the Redeye to going straight into a babyface pro (1MOhm impedance), into an Orchid MicroDI (also 1MOhm), Fdeck series 3, EDB2-HE, and Shiftline Olympic. The EDB-HE2 and Shiftline Olympic both had a...

Wow, the form factor of the BigAmp Piezo is great. I have a similar Orchid Micro DI which is a little larger and a bit cheaper. The Orchid is very clean and does it's job well, but I wouldn't mind the smaller form factor and input impedance of 7.5 MOhm instead of 1MOhm would be nice...

I’m also still interested in giving it a spin…

The files don't play in chrome or safari on IOS devices. They work fine on my laptop. Very interesting samples. It is a little shocking that the C3 is picking up so much bleed compared to the xlson. I have the older ischell contact mic and have always felt that it provided pretty strong...

Going through pages 5-9 I found the following list of folks that expressed interest in the trial: * bdowd * Chris Fitzgerald crd basically_eli statsc vanselus Ben Rolston kkenda11 So, looks like crd is in fact up next...

I’d like to be on the trial list for sure!
