Call me a convert. I bought a 4 string set to try out and was quite impressed. Well worth the price and compare favourably with some name-brand alternatives that cost 3-4 times as much.

Kaldgrass. What do I win?

Apparently I joined in December 2007. Hardly seems possible. I don't think I was on Bassworld, but I used to hang out on News Groups like The Bottom Line in the late 90's/early 2000's - anyone remember them??

I joined May 17 2007, after being on bassworld. How time flies.

We should all take BC out for it's first legal pint 😄

There's very little interest in CDs these days even with bands that gig regularly. Having said that, a handful of people may want one... so see if you can order a run of 250 or less - that's what I'd recommend. Order a cardboard format, not plastic. Don't get tempted to order a 1000 - that's pure insanity. They'll gather dust.

I joined in 2008, just after someone shut away “the dark magic”. I was in my first few days when someone spotted the banner and said “do you play bass?” 🤦‍♂️ yes, Dear Reader, it was said by a guitarist …. Quite smart as they go, he managed to formulate a complete sentence

A 6x2 string arrangement. Sweet.

Hi @Rosie C That stand is awesome! It is just what I need for gigging Could you please give me the name of the stand, a description or a link where I can find it? Thank you so very much!

I still have a pair of Yamaha PB1 pres, one of which was my main pre, used with a matching Yamaha P series power amp in a true biamp configuration crossed at 300Hz, and so looks a bit second hand now. Mine are in storage awaiting time to do full cosmetic and technical restorations. So here's a pic I found via goolag.

Another ex-BassWorlder here.. Though I was only on it for a year or so... Before making the jump to Basschat on 17/05/2007. Most expensive thing I've ever done in my life... 😭😁😂 Wouldn't have it any other way though!

Rehearsed with my old soul band as a dep on Friday. Last time I depped was 18 months ago so a few new songs to learn. I've not had much time to learn or practice their set so I thought Friday was going to be a struggle and occasionally it was! On the whole though it was a very positive experience. Plenty of muscle memory kicking in and some of the new stuff like EW&F's Fantasy and Let's Groove sounded great (for a first time run through anyway 😄). It was great to see the guys again and meet the new guitarist, their positive and kind words during the rehearsal definitely gave my confidence a boost. The rehearsal room is in the singer's garden and he has a nice little spot by a river, the house was built in the 1600s I think so it has a lovely ambience. As it was a warm evening he had the bifold doors open and at one point there was cheering when a song finished. There was a slight pang of regret on my drive home but it was the right decision to leave when I did...just maybe wishing the dep jobs came around more often 😄
