Artist's Profile DVD now available

Thanks, guys!
I didn't use any distortion on the ten string for "The Fire Sermon," dace. The growl just comes from so many strings all vibrating together against the fingerboard. It's a crazy sound, isn't it? And thanks for the feedback. Someone else commented recently that they would prefer to see the interview and performance segments separately. I'll have to keep working on getting a real concert DVD out there!
BTW, I should mention that I did get my Paypal together, so anyone who's interested in buying a copy that way should contact me at [email protected]

A more than justified bump for this thread... I just received my copy of this DVD today. It's really worth watching and if you haven't got a copy yet, then stop reading this and immediately put an order in with Mr. Manring. Paypal payment is now set up, so watcha waiting for? 
Gratuitous plug over...
BY THE WAY: THIS DVD PLAYS IN REGION 2 (EU) PLAYERS
My home DVD player is most definitely Region 2 and the DVD works fine, so I'm assuming it must be region free. Even better news for all us EU-based bassists.
It's a great feature Michael. I have always admired your music first without the geek side of me kicking in and needing to know how you make those sounds, but it's kinda cool to see that as well.
As ever an amazing array of bass-faces going on as well. 
Anyway. Thanks again.
Mike

Thanks so much for the very kind words, Mike! Its good to know that its playable on DVD players there. Who came up with this idea of regional coding anyway!
Sigh --- I guess I am the king of bass face, arent I?

To Michael, Steve, or anyone that is kind enough to lend some advice,
Is it possible to still purchase a copy of Michael's Artist Profile DVD? If so, how can I go about that if I am in the UK?
I haven't purchased it earlier because I was unsure whether it would play on my DVD player and TV, but now I don't care!
I just want to have a copy, even if I can't watch it!
Thanks everyone,
Brian

Pay Michael through Paypal remembering to give your address and specify what you want (i.e. the DVD!). Michael *does* ship to the UK and the DVD *ought* to work on your DVD player. It does on mine (see above)...
Thanks for your reply. What exactly is Paypal? Do I just mail him a cheque for 25 dollars specifying what I want and where I live? Thanks, I appreciate it!
By the way, do you know of any good music stores in London? I am looking to get some knew equipment but can't find a place in my home town that sells DL4's or cabinets or any good basses for that matter. I've heard this online place called the Gallery is good, but can't find it on the web, plus I would rather try the stuff out in person! Please help!

In order to use Paypal you need to set up an account:
Go to the Paypal website (www.paypal.com) and sign up for an account. You need to give credit card details and a valid e-mail address. Once you've signed up you can send money to anyone else who has signed up - this means you can use it for transactions in Ebay and many other sites (CDBaby etc.). To transfer money you just need to specify the recipients email address and Paypal handle the rest. Money gets debited and creditted to your account which can then be used as "virtual cash" within the Paypal system or transferred out to your bank account.
You could also send Michael a cheque although I suspect an international money transfer (or something like that) in dollars would be preferable. It would take longer to process though. Once you've set up Paypal it all happens instantaneously and it's fairly seamless for both parties - you pay in dollars (which gets converted to UK Pounds on your credit card bill) and Michael receives the amount straight away.

Sorry to bump this old thread, Michael, but I sent an email to you back in February to order a copy that I guess never made it to your inbox, and the website you mentioned doesn't appear to be carrying the DVD anymore. If you could shoot me an email to [email protected] , I'd gladly order my copy.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for your continued interest in this, guys. Bryan - I'm so sorry I missed your e-mail! Please shoot me off another and we'll take care of it right away. Anyone else who's interested should feel free to do the same.

Thanks, Michael- I sent an email a couple hours ago. If this one doesn't get through, just PM me through TalkBass.
Michael I also sent an email... or form through the manthing site asking about the dvd. Just looking for the address to send the cash to Making sure its still around ya know all that typical e-buisness stuff
Making sure its still around ya know all that typical e-buisness stuffHas anybody else had problems with their DVD?
Mine just packed up a couple of weeks back. The picture went all distorted and the DVD froze. Every time i tried to play it it just got worse and worse and now won't play at all. My DVD player won't even read it any more?
It's a bummer cos I love the DVD! I may have to buy another.

I haven't had any problems, but I've only watched it 3 times. Maybe the blank DVD used isn't that great of quality. I'm going to have to make a back up.
