Project "Digital Bass"
Well, I've embarked on a software project to fully digitise my bass lessons program that I've been teaching for the past 12 years.
I started writing a client application that will load pre-bought interactive lessons, with full video, audio and tab/notation features.
This'll take a bit of programming (so I'm not using dot net ...), and will initially run under Windows (XP SP3, Vista, and 7).
I started development about a week ago, and I think this may take some time.
Here are some screenshots (very primitive as yet).






If any of you out there have some suggestions as to what capabilities you think the software should have (short of actually playing the bass for you...), then feel free to drop me a line on my contact page!

Get Better, Status Series 1000!
My poor Status Series 1000 is broken! Noooo..........

Nothing major... just that the output 1/4-inch jack socket finally fatigued and fell out on me. Thats the second one to fall out!

I bought this superb bass back in 1988, and then had the thing refitted with Empathy circuits sometime later. The first jack socket was kinda plasticy, and broke with minimal effort!

So, I think a trip to Radio Schak is in order, until I can order a good replacement, probably from Guitar Parts Depot. I also see soldering in my future.

Time to get this baby back in business!

Nice Refresher!
Its good to put up a new site design...

Sometimes a change is as good as a rest.

It's a good thing that, through thick and thin, I've been able to keep gazzbass.com going through this past 12 years.

Technology has seen a radical change in that time with regards to programming technologies...
I just hope that I can assimilate the knowledge and keep up! (by the way, that picture is VERY old, but I'm still confused when it comes to taste in rap!). Anyway, it's bass-time, and welcome!
