I played this not long after playing GTA3 as I was hoping for something of a similar style. Bad mistake to make.
Driver is exactly what is says. It's purely driving to certain points to complete your mission. You should generally avoid the police as chances are you will be speeding and they're far from easy to shake. The most disappointing thing is that although you're told what the mission is you don't see much story even in the shoddy cutscenes and it doesn't even feel like you're taking part in one.
Driver consists of you driving from one point to another then back. That is repeated throughout the entire game and it never changes, it's completely and utterly mundane. At the time I played it the graphics were very poor, at the time of release I have no idea how good those graphics would be considered to be.

Advantages: They're beautiful. Disadvantages: You'll cry if you have to sell it.
It's difficult to buy a double bass in the simple way you might buy a good quality electric guitar or electric bass . For a guitar you can sort of decide if you're Fender, Gibson, Gretsch etc type of person by seeing what you're favourite players use on the telly and then trying them out in any good guitar store. But for the double bass we're in different territory all together and different rules apply.
If you try out the bass in a store or room that is stuffed with other double basses or even other wooden acoustic instruments its going to resonate a little in each of those instruments and lead you into believing you have a lovely sounding bass when you probably haven't.
Some spaces can make an unamplified double bass sound great. I like to play mine on the lower landing of my stairwell - always sounded beautiful there. If you ...

Advantages: Great fun Disadvantages: Very large to store and transport
My family are all rather musical and we have acquired quite a collection of instruments over the years. For a significant anniversary I decided to buy a double bass. In his younger days my partner had played the electric bass in various bands and had always said one day he would like to have a double bass. Well now he has.

Well I suppose the short answer is that it looks like a giant violin, although it?s actually descended from an instrument called the viol. It dates as far back as the 16th century and is the largest and lowest sounding instrument in the string family of instruments. The other instruments in this family are the viola, the violin and the cello.
No one seems quite certain where the name comes from but one theory suggests it is because the double bass ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Tech21 Sansamp programmable Bass Driver is a 3-channel, programmable, rig-in-a-box for bassists who can?t get enough of a great thing. You get three hot tones right at your toetips. The all-analog circuitry features the same controls as its single channel predecessor: Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level. Digital only in its programmability, you just tweak the knobs until you find a tone, double-tap on a footswitch, and it?s saved in that channel. It?s that simple. Three of your faves -- to go! Tech21 Sansamp programmable Bass Driver main features include: Build your Bass Driver DI into a live rig with a Bass Power Engine 60, and run through the PA for extra power. Boldly go live with just your Bass Driver DI straight into the PA. Bounce into any studio with a Programmable Bass Driver DI and plug directly into the board. While larger than our other SansAmp pedals, the Programmable Bass Driver DI still fits into a gig bag. Actual size is 7.25?L x 5?W x 2?H. Even with its roadworthy all-metal construction, each unit weighs in at a mere 25oz. Operable with a 9V alkaline battery or optional Tech 21 DC2 power supply, and it is also phantom powerable.
