The thing with all technology is that if it does everything you need it for today it will continue to do everything you need it for until the actual hardware fails. Besides you can get a 2025 model iPad for under £400, so hardly the "best part of the grand". If needed an iPad for on-stage use I'd buy something cheap (reconditioned or second hand) that did the job I needed it for and only use it for that job. Then if it gets broken/stolen/lost at a gig I haven't also lost my tablet for home use.

My first bass.... not been used due to a new purchase. Bought new, never left the house. As per photos, like new condition. Collection only from Leeds. Not looking for a trade and absolutely will not post as 1: I don't have box and 2: I wouldn't trust a courier do deliver it in the same condition it left in. You are welcome to pop round to try it out. I only have a Spark 40 amp so feel free to bring your own to try with it. My first post, I'm not one for posting on forums but am an avid reader. Any questions, will try to answer but I'm very much a beginner so nothing too technical please 🙃

I have to admit that I started off as being a plug-in hoarder. I'm like a magpie for shiny shiny things ha ha! There's plenty that could be uninstalled now after 5-6 years with the same machine. The next application I need is one that will help me organise the handful of plugins that are really useful and the ohers can either be moved to a separate folder or removed swiftly! I just haven't gotten around to doing something about it. I guess that means I'm busy, which isn't a bad thing.

Enjoy your retirement @musicbassman and keep coming here. 😊 I'm about to do the same at soon 60 years old, but only because I have no more will to join another band as the duet I was in is over since last month. I'll focus on piano and do a bit of summer cleaning...

That is a drawback. I’ve reached the age where a tablet is a necessity, as apps on my phone are too small to read and far too fiddly to use. My iPad is 8 years old and Apple are clearly edging it into obsolescence by reducing updates. I’m dreading the day when I have to shell out the best part of a grand to replace it! However, there are reconditioned units around for quite reasonable prices, if the latest and greatest is not a priority.

Price drop £700- open to sensible offers For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components. This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC. Specs: Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire) Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls) Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. I upgraded the tuners to Hipshots so there are some small holes left from the previous tuners. Includes a finger ramp- could do with a respray! (easily removable though – attached with double-sided tape). Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre. Reason for Sale: Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves. Price: £700 (sensible offers considered) Cost about £1500 to put together. Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.

My band, The Spacewasters played in Malta earlier this year (I didn’t go as no longer get on planes) and they did a deal with the organising Malta band that they got all the door money, with a reciprocal agreement that the same happened when the Malta band came over here - which happened last weekend. Sadly with things the way they are it’s unlikely that similar could be arranged but it may be worth trying to set up something like that with a local band who would be willing to play for expenses only.

Bought an EMU rack unit from @ash. Easy and quick transaction, clear and cheerful communications, quick delivery, all adding up to my most enjoyable Tier 2 Fail yet. Robert

This is very useful to know, in fact as far as I can see it is the first/only time the actual weight has been mentioned anywhere online. It is just about on my self-imposed 4kg limit. Once Bass Direct have them in stock I'll make a trip there to try it out vs the new Ibanez EHB. I think I'll probably prefer a few things on the SP1 like the tone and front facing jack, 22 frets (more room in that plucking area), body shape, and the look...but I expect the Ibanez will stack up in a similar way for scale lengths, tone, and playability and will be about 0.5kg lighter (and £250 cheaper) so it'll be a tough call.

Yep, but when you go back in time, he already had THAT sound with a stock Jazz Bass, so, here, it's really all in the fingers.

I've solved the problem by only using two plug-ins that weren't part of the Logic Installation, and while both these third party plug-ins make life a bit easier when composing or recording neither are essential.
