]]> Comment on Chinese Bows: Bad News or Great Deal? by Steve Koscica http://www.doublebassonline.com/2008/08/chinese-bows/#comment-41 Steve Koscica Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:50:32 +0000 http://www.doublebassonline.com/?p=50#comment-41 Hi Todd, I Like your blog. It's crazy out there with all sorts of bows that are being offered. We custom order our "cheap brazilwood" bass bows from China and I think we fixed all the little problems that normally pop up with these bows. ie, loose wrapping (we use way better faux whale wrapping), and we have our own style of bows and weights. If you don't mind, email me your post (snail mail address when you get a chance. Steve Koscica www.stringemporium.com/basscafe.htm Hi Todd,

The screencast was actually done during version 1.0 of the program so several versions have come out since - the current being 2.01. So needless to say, there have certainly been improvements since that early version. Eventually I'll get around to re-doing that video with the current version. Thanks for the hospitality here on the blog. Looks like it is going to have a nice future! Thanks Todd.

As a side note, I did watch part of your screencast for the software, and although the UI could use some touching up, it does appear to be useful software--definitely filling a niche. I was off my meds last night and unduly hostile. Sorry about that. Good luck with your project Blake. Dude, that’s cool and I hope you are really the copyright owner of the charts in your software.

As you pointed out that is copyrighted material and would certainly be an infringement. This, is the Original 5th Edition not the Hal Leonard 6th edition, so you might send a follow up email to them informing them of the error n the previous email. It is a legitimate product through and through, with its own copyright as well. Thanks for your concern all the same and informing your readers of your thoughts. If you had suspicions, then others might have them as well. I hope this dispels any doubts that you or they might have had. Thanks Blake Hi Todd,

So My guess, and correct me if I am wrong here, is that you went around and found all this stuff--ignoring copyright--and decided to sell it on the internet? I don't want to sound hostile, but since you want to use my blog to advertise I feel I am in my right to ask: What exactly are you trying to sell? Just a bunch of Hal Leonard <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Hal+Leonard+realbook+torrent" target="new" rel="nofollow">torrents</a> that you downloaded, or is there a legitimate product here? I don't expect that I will hear back from you, but I wanted to post this for any people who happen to read the comments--watch out for people like this. Don't get me wrong I am all for making a buck, just don't steal from someone else to get there. P.S. I forwarded your website address on to the Hal Leonard folks, I am guessing that they will find it as interesting as I. Hi Blake,

It is the beloved RealBook in all four transpositions (Bass Clef being one of those!), done up in software so everything is sortable and findable by style, tempo, artist song etc. What's more, each song is mated with original audio recordings, so you have both the chart and an audio representation of it. As a bonus, tons of Band In A Box Files as well as MIDI's are included.
