hmmm.... That screams $$$, so I may be waiting for this to show up as a torrent ;)

On Mac, I've been using Capo: http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/Capo/ Looking at Transcribe, it may have more features.

TC is actually nice enough to provide a schematic for the 3-button foot switch: Link Removed It uses a TRS (stereo) cable, and the amp is "listening" for a connection on either the tip, the ring or both together to turn the various functions on or off. I don't know how the sustain pedal is...

I've been resisting ranting about the "presets only" approach, so I'll take this opportunity to rant just a little... ;) Until someone rips apart a BG250 and a couple of TonePrint pedals, it isn't clear if the effects "guts" of the BG250's TonePrint system is the same as what's in the pedals...

This thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/tc-electronic-bg250-883013/index3.html has been more active recently. I know folks there will want to hear your experience with this live and outdoors.

Henceforth, all Presidential debates shall be in Poetry Slam form, delivered over a funky bassline:

Demanding a percentage of merch sales seems crazy - counting items before, then counting them after? What a pain and waste of time. Charging a flat fee to sell merch in the venue ("table rental" or whatever you want to call it) seems much easier to manage. I'm not saying its a good idea, but...

Good luck! I'm definitely interested! It's interesting that in your survey, you ask about "do sheet music books include enough theory?" Something that would tip me in favor of buying a book over cobbling together tab from online sources would be content like theory analysis. Marr created some...

A couple of years ago I heard a pretty solid cover band who wore matching sailor outfits - they absolutely killed Big Country's "In a Big Country"! Of course, they were a US Navy band. Kraftwerk was the main band that came to mind on my "bands that I like that dress alike" list - but then...

Looking at the competition at that price range, the effects really do seem to be a bonus, assuming that this model is comparably loud (seems so) and that it is of comparable durability/build quality. Does the light weight cause any concerns about durability? Has anyone taken a peek...

I messed around with one at a Guitar Center yesterday. I'm a bass noob, so my opinions about tone probably aren't too insightful. I was able to get various tones out of it that, well, sounded like bass should in my mind, but nothing that awed me (then again, I was the one playing, so that...

Shhhh! Don't let the folks who love to be outraged over TC's power ratings hear you! :D "The qualitative standard of 'Is it loud enough?' should be ignored so we can argue about numbers!" On the other end of the spectrum, how quiet can it get? As in, can it do "bedroom practice in an...

I grew up in and still live in Chicago (in the city), and Blues Fest is probably the best of the city's free annual music fests - it's big enough that it's got great energy and attracts great acts, but it isn't overly crowded or packed. Even if you aren't a huge blues fan, the vibe, the quality...

Ubisoft just announced that the bass support will be coming out in September 2012: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/681073-Bass-is-coming-in-September

There's a lot about the specs of this amp that appeal to me, but I'm driven crazy by the idea that there's a nice TC effects processor inside, but that its use is limited to their canned presets ("toneprints"). Over on this youtube thread, whoever manages TC's account is replying to some...
