FTFY now it’s proper hardcore basschat

Well it's certainly sounding excellent today!

Yeah, I did see that earlier this morning. I found it very interesting, not only from a specification point of view, but also of a visual point of view too.

Another vote for the Sadowsky outboard premp pedal.

To be fair he didn't specifically say he loves the sound. But I'm sure he does 😊

According to your attachment the first 3 notes are played with the index finger? If you're not doing an exam find what works for you.

I'm now slimming the herd down. I've brought a Westone Thunder bass to match my Westone guitar, I've built a Geddy Lee Jazz bitsa and think some of them basses need to go. I also want/need a guitar amp and not sure whether to get a Headrush 112 with a Tonex/Mod Dwarf or a Boss Katana. Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Were they not? Assumed all the Affinity range were at the same price point, my bad then

When were the orange version sub 200 notes???

Viva la difference! I loved Alanis’ set. Yes she has a distinctive voice, but it’s hers and she’s a made a career with it. She can’t change her voice. I can accept it’s a bit of a a marmite voice, but she has really good songs with a lot of unexpected chords, quirks and key change. It’s clever, well worked stuff, and she delivered it great. I’ll admit it was a massive nostalgia trip for me as well, as I loved the JLP album when I was a young teenager! On an unrelated note, if Glastonbury ‘25 has proved anything to me, it’s that men around my age (ie early middle age) and above are the most i tolerant of other people’s tastes in music. The amount of posts slagging off bands and artists I’ve seen on social media is astounding, and it’s almost always men above 35. It seems we really are a breed that like to tell other people what to do, how to do it, what they should like and for what reasons. It’s like we can’t accept that something we don’t like might hold emotional value to someone else. At least with music it’s reasonably benign, but when the same trait is applied elsewhere in life - politics for example - it’s exposed as being quite controlling and sinister. And unfortunately it’s all too common.

The first Firm album made a big impression on me at the time of release and remains a personal favourite. Love Tony's playing. Midnight Moonlight in particular!

Easy, but beautiful.🧐

Matt has just helped me out with some parts for a broken machine head. I’d speculatively posted in the wanted section looking for a little screw, which he just happened to have. However, he also mentioned he’d had one where the screw had sheared off and when I checked mine, the threaded part of the screw was indeed sheared off and embedded in the capstan post, which he also happened to have. He sent exactly what I needed and this has saved me a whole load of trouble in the process. What a legend he is and a shining example of the generous spirit that is the Basschat community.

So @neepheid time spent away from desk is money lost that he cannot spend satisfying GAS
