Unless you have a golden fucking ear, it would be damn near impossible. Especially considering the accents and slides to make it even harder to discern the correct pitches. I'm pretty sure Playtex has only one 303 in it. But it worked so damn well, it's tough to nail. I've found myself wondering this in many occations myself. =o] Why is purchasing a 303 worth the money? Because nothing else sounds like it. Everything that trys to copy it falls JUST short. My $3.03 worth.

Every once in a while,
One must go back to his/her acid roots, and re-discover why purchasing a TB-303 was worth every penny. Just revisited a high-volume listen to Mike Ink's track "Playtex". How is it possible I wonder ? Are there actually two 303's in that track, or just one? Either way, I'm always amazed. Will it ever be possible for someone to master the TB-303 so much to a point that he/she can actually listen to a track and transcribe it note for note, step for step, accent for accent, slide for slide. Just like they do in guitar magazines... Transcribe famous, classic acid riffs.... so-to-speak. I don't think it's possible. Somebody please prove me wrong. The best I've ever done is Tan-Ru's "Changeling". Which wasn't difficult to re-create on my silver box........
