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!

Hi all, Future impact for sale. Boxed and fully working, stuck with double lock tape, which probably doubles the value (🤣). No power supply. Priced to sale. Postage will be about 10 quid? Thanks for looking! Andy -
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'...

I nearly bought a pair of these a few years back, read the marketing and decided not to I imagine they're a bloody great way of getting that classic '51/'53/'55 tone out of a Jazz though, so still very tempted -
Choose a 5 string bass for £500 (ish)
Cornwall Steve replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in Bass Guitars
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?

Didn’t a lot of people stop playing Hillsong stuff because of the corruption & kiddiefiddling?

AI at the moment is a bit like the early days of the internet. Far too many idiots were allowed to use it for fun at no, or very little, cost to them. Problem with the internet is they still have access.

Sadowsky Onboard Bass Preamp

Still available? -
Well that sounds excellent! If I ever did a gig that actually had a PA, just that and a compressor would do me fine.

Spector NS Ethos 5 HP in immaculate condition. Gun metal grey high gloss finish with black hardware, upgraded pickups and pre amp with EMG 40P5 at neck position and EMG 40DC at bridge position with LHZ3 pre amp. EQ controls are volume, blend, bass and treble. The tuners have also been upgraded to Gotoh 350 Res-o-lite. This is a thru-neck bass. It comes with a Spector padded gig bag. I’ve had this bass around a year. It has no dings or marks, plays great and sounds fantastic. Only selling as a nasty bill has arrived and I need to get the money from somewhere. No trades thanks. Collection preferred, I live approximately 15 minutes from junctions 14 and 15 of the M1. I will ship however if the buyer wishes to arrange their own courier. The bass has its own gig bag and I have proper bass shipping boxes that it will be sent in. Please note, I took the photos myself and I am blind. I’ve tried to capture the bass as best I can so please bare that in mind whilst viewing them. Spector NS5 Ethos HP proof video.mov

It does cut costs for the businesses using AI but does that saving get passed on to the consumer? I seriously doubt it.
