    They're not getting their hit. If it doesn't hit within 30seconds, they know it's probably not coming and move on to the next video. That's why the videos have to lure people in, and have to be engineered to hold people's attention. It's why people spend hours searching, they're not getting the hit, if they were, they'd not be on the phone for hours. They're all searching for something that isn't there.

    Agreed. The Japan-only version with maple board and matching inlays is a lot more attractive......

    I'm bringing my ebony board 4 to the SE Bash if you want try it. The ebony makes it even more gritty and zingy.

    They understand how dopamine works. It's not about the constant scrolling, it's about finding something that's better than you expected. In a sea of mediocrity everyone is scrolling, scrolling, searching for something that presses their button and ticks their own personal box. The genie is out of the bottle. Just performing good music, well, no longer gets people's attention. To be honest, it never has, its always been about the next best thing, audiences are fickle and constantly changing and evolving. Beatles vs Stones, not about the music, Mods vs Rockers, Blur vs Oasis, Dem vs Rep, Gen Z vs Gen X, Feminist vs Trans, it's not about music, it's all about being a member of a tribe. And media and politicians know this is how it works. You need to be ahead of the game and finding something new and exciting all the time. The problem is, now we have come so far along the line, there's very little that is new and engaging. Hence, people continue to scroll endlessly in a pointless search, and when they do find something that's new and exciting and fresh, are swiftly disappointed when they find it's not real, all smoke and mirrors, the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain.

    Thanks Gary! 🙂 I have to say that though a great looking Spector it is, yours (and the 5er) wins with the paintjob / color selection, the maple board and the matching inlays. If I were to have an ebony boarded CST (which I'm seriously contemplating) it would be a red one.

    Up for sale is my 2019 Rickenbacker 4003s in limited edition pillar box red. Unusally for a Ric these came with a maple fretboard. Bass is near mint condition, set up nicely it plays great and sounds as only a Ric can. Apparently there were only 25 of these made for the Uk market so it is a bit of a rarity. It comes with the Ric certificate and all the tags too. There are a few very tiny lacquer chips on the bottom edge. I couldn't really see them let alone photograph them but they are there somewhere. They are only the top coat of lacuqer so not through the paint at all. The case has typical Ric case single foot damage but other than that the bass is mint condition. I can take trades with cash my way. A skinny necked P would be nice, jazz basses always tickle my boat and float my fancy so you never know. Finally, I can travel to meet up but have a hernia op on the 27th Aug so am out of action for a few weeks after that.

    Yeah, I wanted the smaller size as when I plan to play it (at church) it’ll be in combo with electric bass, so I didn’t want to lug loads of extra stuff about. Also the price I got it for was pretty good tbh 👍🏻. The Grandmother was on my possible list due to the larger keybed, but I thought presets would come in very useful. Lastly reading the Moog forums, there seemed to be a few problems that could occur, so buying new with an extended warranty (don’t normally get those) seemed to be prudent! ps. I’ve also just pulled the trigger on a Novation BSII, and trying to find a DSI Mopho SE ha ha. I seem to have a Monosynth mania at the moment, no need for any polyphonicness for me 🤣

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C3V74M27 The 0.25 degree one is really hard to see the taper on, but the 0.5 and 1 degree ones are definitely tapered, and the 0.5 one demonstratably works - the neck heel is on the deck at the front and there's a gap at the back.
  16. SumOne
    Yeah, I saw one posted that was touted as a 'new' Bob Marley and Peter Tosh song.....very obviously (for many reasons!) AI had basically been given a prompt to make it. For the sake of it, I asked AI to do a Reggae song about Chichester: https://suno.com/s/4N29U2W1xoc5Hrrh ....cheesy, but not terrible. It is a bit of a concern as I've just started in an originals Reggae band that doesn't gig (in addition to my usual band that does gig a lot), so the only thing this new band does is record original music, but I can only assume that AI music creation will only continue to get better and more easily available so originals bands are going to really have to up their game and add something properly original/authentic to be relevant.

    These are great ! If I didn’t have the Moog grandmother and minitaur, I’d get one also. They look cool also. Have you seen the Bad Gear episode of this ?

  23. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    These look great ! I used to have an original Fender Telecaster bass . I had it plugged into an Aguilar amp head and no tweeter cab at the time. Great for trouser flapping ,and sock vibrating etc . Solely recording stuff at home these days means that it wouldn’t be practical to get one now , but if I was still gigging I’d have snapped one of these up . Love the look of these .
  24. Reggaebass
    Yes I’m finding that too, lately my YouTube has been flooded with AI reggae, some of it I must admit is really good but very clean like you say, also some are using pictures of original artists to draw you in, when I’m sure it isn’t them singing
  25. SurroundedByManatees
    When listed on here it was initially £6.995.... with the body being listed as altered but original. Before it got listed for sale at bass direct, someone determined that the body is not original (I assume they made sure the typical markings aren't present under the refin).
