Right again, Dingo. I have been waiting until I had something to report beyond how it looks (which is awesome). I now have about 6 months experience under my belt (straps?), and I am very pleased with the instrument. There is much to report relative to going to DBA from CBA, as well as my experience (read learning curve) vis a vis musical genre. In order to advance my ability on the DBA as rapidly as possible, I decided that instead of visiting the forum every time I thought of it (note one month delay in this response), I would instead pick up the Dino and practice. The end result has been much more practice and lots less posting (and wasted time cruising the I-net). I will be composing my update over the Christmas holidays and post it sometime soon.
Bottom line though is; I like it, A lot!
