Nice looking, but not for me. I gig for a living and it would be a shame for something like that to get beat up. One-nighters are notoriously hard on gear.

Pretty piece of artwork. Who knows what it sounds and plays like?

Other than hanging it on the wall to look at, why would anyone buy a $2500 acoustic guitar off the internet?

I guess you could fly over to Bali and play it first. Blueberry Handmade Acoustic and Electric Guitars are made on the tropical island of Bali.

Musiclover, if I had that guitar it would be in a glass case hanging on my living room wall. I would NEVER play it. Any more than I would buy a fine piece of sculpture and play with it. But I have better things to do with roughly 3 grand. Like pay my mortgage, pay my utilities, and eat...

I'll see your quote and raise you smile

Flight cases.

If you are gigging, the absolute best protection you can get for your instruments is the minimum you should go for.

IMO, the “Gig Bag” is the most misnamed product in the music catalog. It's probably designed so you will harm your instrument and force you to buy a new one.

Back on topic.

As a gigging musician, I go for good instruments, but I go for the point of diminishing returns. If throwing another $100 makes it 25% better, I go for it. If throwing another $100 makes it look better but not play/sound better, forget about it. One-nighters are hard on gear, even if you transport them in flight cases.

So I would never buy that type of guitar. I'm a player, not a collector.

When I had my prized Les Paul I had a case that was drop rated to 40 feet. One night leaving a gig at like 3am, I set the black case on top of my dark blue car, loaded some other keyboards stuff into the hatchback, got in my car and drove away. I felt the case slide backwards, looked in my mirror and saw it fall off the car. And then in my semi intoxicated state I backed up to where the case was and drove ONTO IT!

Threw it into the back seat, got it home and checked it and despite a tire mark on the felt it was not damaged.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
