@eude and @skelf thats an absolutely stunning instrument. Love the approach from ACG to be as bespoke as possible for the player. You are a lucky man with that bass Eude. Jonny

We played Grip more or less correctly for the first time. We also had a go at Nice and Sleazy, we can get to the end of the verse before the wheels falll off.

Every musician knows all about GAS, especially those of us unfortunate enough to be Basschat lifers, but aren't we all ignoring the elephant in the room? I'm talking of course about PHOTOS ... Pathological Hoarding Of Tons Of Shit. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I'm now on my third lockup and it's getting out of hand. Perhaps there should be a Sub-Forum?

Why the ironing board?

It was documented as cut and boost in the manual: www.musicmanbass.global/1978-hangtag-manual/

Something simple - a request from another forum; the bass part to 'Nossa Gente (Avisa La) from Brazil's Oladum (the recording is featured on a 20 year compilation and I cannot find any details of any of the players, never mind the bass. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/nossa-gente-avisa-la-olodum/

Because of the times - Kings of Leon Not an obvious ‘bass in ya face’ type thing but such melodic lines, with really cool rhythmic nuances. I think he’s a seriously underrated rock bass player. And, that and their second album were released at a time in my life that they influenced me deeply and made me want to be a better player!

New Korg KAOSS Pad V announced: "KORG probably took a look around the music-making environment and realized that there are a lot of guitarists buying pedals these days. With them in mind, the new KAOSS PAD has a Hi-Z jack for accepting guitar and bass DI. “A dedicated high-impedance input makes it easy to connect electric guitar or bass directly with no additional hardware required,” says KORG. “Explore textures like ambient swells, rhythmic modulation, time-based glitch effects, or reverb soundscapes, all shaped by simple fingertip control.” https://www.gearnews.com/korg-kaoss-pad-v-studio/ The last bit 'all shaped by fingertip control' is going to be the issue, my fingertips are usually somewhat busy when playing bass! There's a change in the air though - we aren't limited to traditional guitar/bass pedals for live fx anymore with big companies like Korg, Akai, Roland all properly including it as a use for their new effects units. They need footswitch control though, which is perhaps available via their midi controls.

Yeah, exactly what we have started doing at work. Its just very frustrating when a customer says they have done everything required, looks fine at their end, and all they have done is added 3mm of white space instead 🙄. We call it Canva ping pong.

Bought a pedal from this user and it was in perfect condition, came very fast and he was a pleasure to deal with.
