All Activity

I went from 35 to 33 to 32 and my most recent bass is a Nordstrand Cat bass which I think is 30... 32 is current favourite - Mk II of my Elrick signature is 32" and headless, so super comfortable to play, and fits in a guitar bag so easier to carry on a bike, and to fly with Steve

Got mine yesterday. Had a play this morning and echo a lot of the above. This is perfect for those of us who might need a synth sound for two or three numbers up in a set. The presets are fab and there’s more than enough settings to tweak. It’s a lot of fun! Tracking is good enough and I hope better when I get it on the board with a compressor. Mr Martin Allison must have amazing technique or there’s some editing in the vids! All in all a very good bit of kit that really does provide the synthiness I need.

A bit of 80s ska... Bad Mangers Madnest The Beak

I've always had a fairly uneasy relationship with social media. I am of the right age to have joined facebook when it still felt like something fun and somehow private – around 2006, I think – but it jumped the shark some time in the late 2000s or early 2010s and never came back. I've not deleted my account, not really sure why, but I've also not looked at it in about seven years. I dabbled with a few of the other platforms, but always found they got both boring and addictive after a while. My dislike of the Skinner-Box psychological manipulation that's ubiquitous on the modern internet is actually what attracted me to this place. It's a forum. There are posts. You open the site and look at what's been posted. If there's something interesting, you read or respond. If there isn't, you close it again. Basschat isn't painstakingly engineered to monopolise my attention, it doesn't use the latest scientific research to try to serve me targeted content, to entice me into scrolling or paging through or whatever. It's a website. With stuff on it that I can look at, or ignore. It does have the unfortunate side effect of leading me to buy more gear, but that's a trade-off I'm willing to make.

Thanks but nope. Definitely a sixties sound not bebop. I’m sure you’d get it instantly if you knew it, but maybe it’s more obscure than I thought.

1st class. Enjoyed looking at this and am seriously impressed.

Im taking a break from Facebook, possibly permanently. Its mostly either adverts for crap, AI fake videos & images and political propaganda. Mostly political propaganda now it seems. At least here, the only discrimination is against pick players, slappers and Scott Devine

I'll be posting some photos tomorrow.

I gave up FB over a decade ago after a brief period of trying it out, and I don't know anyone who actively uses it. The overall and overwhelming impression I get from others that have left, about to leave, and occasional visitors is that nowadays it's just a cesspit of ads, spammers, and scammers.

God dammit! 😂 @rwillett it seems auto correct would agree

Sadly at the mercy of the phone reception at the time...it was a Live Chat broadcast, not a long form video for editing.

Did they have any more available? I’m not sure I’ll get much for my cat, but he’s already looking worried..

Excellent work as usual @Basvarken !

See what people can make. It's not a competition. Well, maybe just a little. 😉

Seconded! The vid was quite pixilated - at least when I watched it. Great for privacy by not so good for oggling instruments 😀

Going home. The Osmonds

It could be Anthropology from Charlie Parker, it sounds like that...

Havana is very, very nice. Lovely architecture, very friendly people. Well recommended. I reached Havana via Houston.
