But it's professional! It must be good
Right?

Thats the best way to go!
You can always keep that virtual machine around and working, just make sure you have a good (multiple, not only in your house) backup

I think what people are missing out of ignorance of Wade's situation is the basically impossible amount of NON-PAID work he will have to do because of the way MM pulled this off. MM also clearly has no concept of this and apparently views their program as a sophisticated kids' toy or something a ...

I assume the software checks in with a server occasionally (or at install time at least) with a server to validate the licensing? unfortunately it is hard to own a piece of software these days, even if you paid a lot of money for it :huh: It can always happen that a software company goes out of ...

I am not allowed to view it :/
The Netherlands is blocked for some reason

Its from a custom gigbag maker in poland, Rafal Stencel
No first hand experience, but sure do look nice

This type of stuff is also used on watch strap edges

Jealous!

I hope so! So far I really like it but I need to spend more time with it

Maybe @Kontrabasstuba knows this instrument, he knows the previous owner at least

I'm jealous of your arion. I've been looking for a pre 1990 Arion for many many years and have never seen one for sale. It's owned by one of the bands I play in, it was purchased in the early 80's, but I am not sure if it was new then. It does need some work. The main tuning slide is out of ...

You are welcome to send it over here to the states for me to go over it. I'll be sure and get it back to you within a few years. :teeth: Hmm, can I borrow your 98 then in the meantime? :teeth: I have been practicing in the garage lately when the kids are sleeping. The garage has steel cabinets ...

Oh no, you ruined it now, the nodes have changed

Been looking for a german style tuba for a while now and this one popped up on Tubaforum.de last week and I was interested right away, sent a message and this morning I cruised 700km/434mi (probably not that much for you that are used to longer distances, but I am from a tiny country :eyes: ) on the ...
