My Warwick Broadneck 5s with 20mm spacing I would say has spoilt me. Space and comfort for days (for me) while for some it's too much like playing on an aircraft runway. Great there's something for everyone out there 😀

Exciting stuff, I'm looking forward to the release! Crossing fingers that portamento on tracked notes made it into this one. Pleased so many of our suggestions on patches are on those lists - even though they're often variations on a theme from a synthesist's perspective, from a practical POV they cover a lot of useful ground.

Very much this, incredible as always.

Yes that’s it

I give up on Facebook and Instagram. AI has just made them even more irritating than they were before

Great read ☺️ 👍 Apart from my old age issues affecting my ability to play, I feel I've smallish hands too - far from ideal for a bass player. And weight doesn't bother me either - I can only play sitting down - I've more problems, if its got a short lower horn - with the bl**dy thing siding off my leg! Being old is no fun 😠

I looked on the LowEnd Bass Shop at their 64, I’m pretty sure it’s the same bass , with the wear and chipped pickguard

For me it’s the imperfections or going where wouldn’t be expected that make music interesting, such as Cliff Williams playing C# in Back in Black when the guitars play A. Would AI choose to do this?

you go on another thread on here and people are still trying to nail Michael Jackson synth bass tones... people still have Gill Sans on their PCs...

As humans we get bored very quickly and thrive on new and exciting things. While AI just copies stuff that is already there, it'll get boring really quickly. Part of the attraction of any 'latest hit', is the anticipation of the next release and how will it be better than the last one. Scrolling through Facebook is losing attraction very quickly as it seems like huge AI farms, scraping posts and reposting as original content, have taken over. The cheaper the tech becomes, the harder it will become to find quality original content, we are already seeing this with every angst ridden teenager with access to garageband releasing an Album. It's a spiral to attract the Lowest Common Denominator, TV went down that route and YouTube is slowly following.

Well, it's just as personal as weight isn't it? I'm lucky in that it doesn't bother me how heavy a bass is. What I'd say about string spacing though is that I've owned an SR505 that had both narrow string spacing AND a slim neck and while I could play it very quickly, I just could not pick or slap on it. I've got an OLP Tony Levin 5-string now and though I'm pretty sure that has the same 16mm spacing I find it much easier to play with a pick or slap so I sometimes wonder if the numbers tell the whole story (much more of a C shape than a D). Mind you, the Dingwall I now own is actually quite a struggle for me to play with my small-ish hands but I like it so much I've spent years developping my technique. If I went by specs and what was sensible I'd play a medium scale bass but I like my Dingwall and I will keep plugging at it till I get it right!

Scarily easy as I've just figured out! https://suno.com/s/jhB0dYxxVH2FlFhW Another nail in the coffin for aspiring originals artists hoping to "make it", just as streaming has already proved to be? I suspect that where the industry is heading could well be similar to where classical music has ended up with performers, in our case covers and tribute bands, being custodians of a vast library of music that is already much loved; with occasional new material to sit alongside the great songwriters and composers of the past: read ABBA to Zeppelin for Bach to Stravinsky. The Times They Are A-Changin'...

He doesn’t like cash 🤫

Sorry my bad !!!! I just went to see how ai can split it and it's mental... It actually separated each instrument amazingly .I was still in eq and phase and using audacity to surgically remove bass tracks , no wonder all my videos sounds s.it mIm so naive and stupid didn't know you can actually split even a mp3 nowadays

Crazy though isn't it. In the overall scheme of things people would ask you 'what difference does it make whether it's 18-19mm verses 16-17mm' ? Difficult one to answer that especially to someone who doesn't play bass 😂. That is until I hold up my 70 year old gnarly arthritic hands with a finger missing on my fretted hand. And why anything less than 18mm is a bit of a ball ache for me 😖

Taking a fully mixed single track and magically recreating the multitracks from that single source alone? Since when?
