  1. Past hour
  2. Probably not an autobiography.
  3. Just seen there is an autobiography out in March : Stay Alive: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson: The Authorised Biography Hardcover – 26 Mar. 2026 by Scott Rowley (Author) preorder on Amazon.
  4. I spent 5 hours on a couple of tracks in Suno earlier today and only stopped as the Mrs. wanted to use the computer. Its the most enjoyment I've had in music for ages. I don't see this as a battle at all. AI is just another tool and obviously the future.Tomorrow I'll stem them , take them into a DAW and add real instruments - I don't see an issue with that process. The output is infinitely better quality and more satisfying than anything I could have produced on my own. I do completely agree however that those whose work has fed the learning model should be paid accordingly.
  5. Today
  6. Yesterday
  7. Agreed Mick, Whilst the SMX series added some useful bells and whistles such as compression and a blendable valve/solid state preamp, the Series 6 has a certain immediate clarity with clout never bettered by Trace Elliot.
  8. I have only owned two necks (and two Status bass copies), and I do agree. Quality stuff for a reasonable price. After all, compared to the old music instruments the prices are ridiculously low: I have been searching for a decent double bass for jazz gigs. A basic student bass costs the same amount of ££££ as a quality Status. Some £20000 is needed to a pro instrument. I don't have that many gigs.
  9. Valeton Dapper Bass all in one gig fly rig. Switchable Compressor, auto wah, preamp, octave and chorus with onboard tuner, FX loop, DI. metal case. Some very small marks from live use but well looked after. Should still have the box for it kicking around. £50

    De-Fret??

    I do not follow Fender or Yamaha or many other brands as they just do not fit me. That's why I didn't remember that it is a neck through. But my main point was that as it is a fine instrument, I would keep it as it is. Self made modification may be fine, but there are other possibilities, too. A skilled luthier can make a good fretless version of it. Same dimensions and everything, the playability between those two could be very interesting. And a good luthier may suggest some tiny modifications that support the fretless sound, too.
  11. The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
  12. The Murder Of Love - Propaganda
  13. Yep, the Godin pickups are crazy high output, especially the neck one, giant pole pieces.
  14. This And this And this And done.
  15. Hi all, up for sale is most of my Morningstar stuff. These are either hangovers from my big board days, or in the ML10X's case, absolutely brand spanking new, bought for a rack build that never happened. Never even passed a signal through it! I powered it up to make sure it worked, and that was it. Now that I'm using a Quad Cortex, the MC3 pretty much covers all my needs, and this stuff is redundant. So, up first: Morningstar MC8 - £220 In good used condition, with original box and accessories, including USB cable that has never been used. ML5 MIDI Loop Switcher - £125 In good, used condition. Small scratch on the "T" in the logo on the top. A fantastic bit of kit. 5 true bypass loops that can be switched on/off via MIDI. Alongside the MC8, this was the core of many of my pedalboard builds. ML10X REORDERABLE MIDI LOOP SWITCHER - £340 Literally as new. Still got the plastic on the screen. This is the above ML5 on steroids! 10 mono/5 stereo loops (as well as stereo ins and outs) with the rather nifty feature of being able to re-order these loops however you like, as well as splitting the signal as many times as you like, so you can run dry signal alongside pedals, or have all 10 loops running in parallel if you so wished. When I had my big board, this was my DREAM piece of kit. I was going to put all my pedals in a rack, with this bad boy, and control the lot from an MC8 out front. Sometimes you want distortion into your filter, and sometimes you want your filter into your distortion...Being able to reorder your pedals with a click of a footswitch is the feature i'd ALWAYS wanted. But it wasn't to be - by the time I had a tray holding my REDDI, a sliding tray full of pedals, a 2U drawer, my 2 Sennheiser Wireless units, a power conditioner, 2 Rockboard MODs for the IO, and all the cables I realised that I would very quickly get sick of dragging all of it to a Motown function and using a clean signal all night 🤣 Add £5 for postage or can be collected from Ickenham, NW London. Happy to meet on my travels, if not too far off my route.
  16. I Will Kill You - Cannibal Corpse
  17. Adam Neely just posted a brilliant video about this stuff today. https://youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk
  18. Like other people have said, I prefer a physical magazine and don't like reading features on a screen. I used to subscribe to a bass guitar magazine but stopped my subscription because it seemed to concentrate on the heavy rock/metal scene. There were features about players I'd never heard of because their music was not to my taste. I was wanting to hear about your average touring or function bands, people who play on cruise ships or in holiday camps, studio session players or those in a theatre orchestra pit. Heavy rock dominated the pages. I also found the magazine hard to read because of the layout. "In your face" art with words overlaying photographs became an assault on the senses. What is wrong with black print on white paper, using a font size that doesn't require a magnifying glass to read? If the new publication can find the right balance across the vast music scene, with an easy on the eye format, then I shall certainly be interested in reading it.
  19. Yep, 'twas my Markbass TA503, that I still own. Thanks for the kind words mate.
  20. This was more to do with recording a live performance, but the retrospective amp sim is just fine so maybe I'll just stick with that.
