Yeah it's terrifyingly powerful with music! IMO we should cast it into the fires of Mount Doom 😅 A producer I work with is really into this stuff, and has used AI software to learn the voice patterns of singers he regularly works with and has a lot of content from, to the effect that he can now 'sing' into an SM57 in the mix room, and an uncannily familiar female pop vocalist generates back through the monitors. He hasn't used it on any published work but it's scarily good, and a lot easier and cheaper than hiring said vocalist. She is amazing, but the AI model does everything quicker, with plenty of variation. So far he will only use it for group backing vocals and choir parts in the mix. In much the same way that generative AI has taken over a lot of voiceover work (Artlist etc), I wonder if we'll see generative models of vocalists and session players becoming common. We could have suite of virtual session players to prompt - you could try a track with models based on Marcus Miller, Leland Sklar, Chris Wolstenholme? Not even touching generating whole pieces of 'music', or re-orchestrating songs you feed it. Cool that we could, really not sure if we should!

Normally right at the bottom of the listing there’s a report to reverb option

If it walks like a duck, squarks like a duck, etc etc... I did like the "Why" as if this was a wholly unreasonable request. It made me smile.You're spending $5000 and would like to check what you are buying.

Tom, My most common tool is a decent digital calibrated caliper. I tend to work to around 0.2mm resolution with the Prusa, but I can get down to a consistent 0.1mm if I'm a little careful. Fusion 360 is happy to work to this resolution and far higher. There's no right way to model all of this, it's a case of what works for you. I used to draw rectangles and then fillet the sketch. This destroys the constraints and makes any changes difficult, thats why I moved to filleting the body as that can be done later. However that's just me. You tend to need 0.5mm or more for walls, 0.5mm is very thin, but printable at 0.1mm. It will flex, but that's not a major issue for pickup covers. I would have thought you wanted to make the pickup cover as tight as you can. If you are looking to paint them, then by all means print as-is and do supports and very gently smooth the support surfaces. Perfectly reasonable approach. Ask if any questions. Rob

What a lovely bass, and James is a great guy to deal with. Sadly I can't justify a 3rd USA Spector !! GLWTS- 1 reply

Is there a way to report scammers to Reverb? I couldn't see one.

There's a huge backlash against AI in the gaming community at the moment, especially where it's being used as a substitute for human creativity. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out given that gaming studios are a natural fit to use AI to cut staff and speed up production. I suspect in the end the big studios will carry on down the AI road regardless but it will create a niche for independent companies making 100% human authored content.

If you want to go down that route, clearly MXR lifted a bunch of proposed FI features as their product manager has been hanging around the FI Facebook group for the past few years. In actuality, folks have been asking for a pack of cover band presets for a while and I’d been trying to get them to do it. The success of the MXR finally convinced them that there was a significant portion of potential customers that they were not serving. To be honest, I’m glad of the competition because it’s now given the impetus for the team to implement a bunch of ideas I’ve been pushing for for ages.

Well, that didn't last long. Do me a favour... If I start going on about Precision basses again, just remind me that I put this one up for sale after a single month. Just tell me to buy another Jazz instead! For Sale/Trade, 2025 American Professional Classic Precision in Faded Sherwood Green Metallic in as new condition, complete with all case candy & original Deluxe Fender Gigbag - it even comes with the original OEM 45-105 Fender strings. This is a seriously lovely bass, from the excellent build quality and flawless finish to the solidly stable Gotoh Lollipop Tuners, the quality of these basses has been pushed much more towards the current American Professional II. The new "Shoreline" pickups (based on the Pure Vintage Series) sound full and punchy, with that trademark warm bottom end. It's literally done some home playing and about three numbers at one gig, but I ended up changing back to the playability and scooped sound of my American Professional II Jazz - basically where I belong. The bass is, as stated, in perfect condition with no scratches or dings, and is currently set up with a low and fast action on 40-95 Elixirs. If you want it on the Fender 45-105's, just let me know and I'll happily change it back. Price is £1295, which is a very reasonable near £250 saving on the new RRP. This one is played in, properly set up and sounds fantastic. Buyer to collect from Derbyshire (10 mins from M1 J25), or will happily meet you up to 100 miles from DE7, or 100 miles from Gloucestershire/Wiltshire where I work Wednesday-Friday. Interesting trades considered. Pics are from my music room, and the original pictures of the bass are by the Bass Gallery in Camden where I purchased it.- 1 reply

You need to be careful not to turn this conversation into a binary choice and an "us vs. them" type situation. I was careful to use the term "Generative AI". I'm all for AI automating humdrum tasks, or doing things which are impossible for humans (like the software which turns a full recording back into multitracks to allow remixing which I believe you are alluding to). But using it to create "art" that the user could never hope to do under their own steam, that can fork right off.

Wonder where that idea came from?

Good luck with the sale, but I have to ask... What on earth is going on with that marketing copy on the box? -
Its funny isn't it. As AI adoption comes into the place - the industry is quickly learning that AI is rubbish at doing the jobs that people hate.

As a tool, it's useful. As a means to generate creative content, it can get in the sea.
