The only single cut bass I've owned and for some unknown reason sold on! I can't say whether the single cut design made it better / worse / different from a standard bass, it was just overall really really good.

Good idea, a few packs of strings and some strapons straps would be cool.

I’ve been working on Teen Town by Weather Report mainly just for the challenge, and it’s doing exactly what I hoped.

Oof. That's me told. Its even got a big headline - For those that CBA to read... or just want a quick answer... or dealing with Myth #1 - IEMs are expensive:

Here's my single cut Safran semi acoustic. Lovely bas with an beautifull "woody"and deep sound. It has a piezo in the bridge and a magnetic PU under the fretboard. Just volume and a balance (John East MPM preamp). Due to the singlecut it has an enormous sustain!

Nice one, I depped with a mate's Blondie trib many moons ago and it was great fun. The basslines are awesome, and fabulous things to play. The only thing I didn't like was wearing my spiky wig. A bit too sweaty betty for my liking.

The mother of my two daughters was a massive Blondie fan and had a crush on Nigel. Then she met another bass player called Nigel.....

I've been using keyboard shortcuts to open and switch between programs since having multiple programs open simultaneously became possible with the introduction of System 7 (I could never get MultiFinder in System 6 to work reliably enough) so the commands required have become ingrained over the last 35 years.

Oh, this is the guy I spent a lot of time talking with and demonstrating the pedal to at the booth in 2024.

Browsing around the Bass Gallery website, I happened across an Antbass Pharoah: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/antbass Headless neck-through bass - just the thing to pique my interest. But only four strings. So I set off on a quest to find out about Antbass, which came to a very rapid conclusion when there was absolutely no sign of them on the internet except for this very bass. Does anyone happen to know who, what, when, and possibly why? Judging by the photos, it has a distinctly used (but looked after) air to it, and the brass cover which I assume conceals the truss rod access looks a few years old.

Currently learning how to play a bass part I wrote last year. I thought my playing had improved. I guess not. My hands don't want to move that fast anymore.

Tried all kinds of launcher apps over the years, the dock as it stands works as well as any of them, and having the ability to scroll and resize tracks in the arrangement window from a few buttons on the S3 just made the whole thing redundant, I used to have it auto-hide, but I got bored with that. The screen arrangement memories in Protools work just as well, but only if you're working on a fairly standard template, most of the productions I do are anything but standard.

I'm surprised it's not USB C.

That is a big ask. The term is a safety blanket to those, mostly Americans, who deceive themselves into thinking the jump in quality of mid 70's Japanese products was the result of IP theft and shady practises. Truth is Japanese factories had been building 'crap' because Western importers put profit first and ordered crap, the game changed once the Japanese decided they'd had enough and started building on their own terms. Similar mindset is with us today regarding Chinese and Indonesian instruments, as if somehow cultures with a history of string instruments going back 1000s of years are incapable of building simple stuff like electric guitars.
