Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
miles'tone replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best is a Harley Benton mahogany bass uke and a set of the Galli-Kala flats for it. I take it everywhere as it lives in the car. I'm playing and learning 10x more now. Best £150 all in I've ever spent. As a very busy dad of 2 with autism, It's really made a huge difference to my overall mental health. My fam is reaping the benefits too as I'm a much less frustrated and now happier daddio these days 👍 -
You are right - a good reminder. I think that I wanted to have the complete story, not just for me, but for others who find this thread in the future. However, in gathering the details together, I had forgotten that my goal was to get a piano which worked for me, both now and in the future.

It's a Cat 3 size, £42 for standard 3 ply rising to £55 for mirror finish. You'll find it listed in the description for . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114490584526?itmmeta=01KC6FXR70KVEKCGYES866A6MA&hash=item1aa82badce:g:bt8AAOSwloxfnA5O -
Headless/ fretless bass for less than £1k

And if money is tight, Bonners, Andertons and many others offer real 0% finance over 3 to 6 months: This could be a great plus allowing you to buy the best keyboard for you, and not especially the more expensive one.

You need to change the network settings so that networks are NOT connected to automatically. On IOS you need to disable Auto Join for all your networks. I have never found this setting on Android but both IoS and Android assume that you must be connected to the Internet and try to force it by default. In fact Windows does something similar.

In this case put the money in and buy the real deal, which is 2.5 times more expensive. I have an Ibanez 6 strings bass set, an Hosco 6 strings guitar set and some other different gauges Hosco files since more than 2 decades and only some of the Ibanez files start to show some wear, but I made hundreds of nuts with these... So buy well, buy once. 😉

Stunning 😍

A bigger brother to the GP-5. Two footswitches, more knobs so you can edit on device, MIDI In/Out with mini jacks, stereo out, expression/footswitch jack, 4 hour battery life. Looks good! https://www.valeton.net/product/gp-50/

If you did a factory reset the firmware will revert to that installed at manufacture. Probably V1.1.x. The Mixpad Version must be in the same numeric area as the installed firmware. It is explained better on thr A&H website. So download a copy of Mixpad 1.1 and it will probably connect. You can then update the firmware, either directly via the Mixpad app OR via a USB stick with the updated software installed.

Agreed! Quite a change to the NBD picture, in a good way! Very cool that it was so easy to find alternate PUPs that are same size as the stock ones, and EMGs (from my experience with them on my Spector) are a great choice.

Why don't you go for the Roland FP-30X as it will tick all your boxes without the need for an external audio interface and as you'll also need the 3 pedals option for the next grades, it will be the perfect companion. Sometimes looking only at the price is the worst thing to do.

Hell of a player, that Jorge. Saw him with Julian Lage a while back and the level of musical telepathy between them was incredible.

Song suggestions for trio of vocals, guitar and bass
tauzero replied to mikegatward's topic in General Discussion
Mrs Zero and I do a lot of songs at open mics. Last night - Hallelujah, Hero, Many rivers to cross. If you have one other who can do enough vocals to do duets, there's a few others to consider. We do Perfect Day as a duet by one of us singing the first two lines of each verse, then the other the last two. There's the somewhat dark Where the wild roses grow (Kylie and Nick Cave). -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
kwmlondon replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Well... slightly off-topic but still, a bit on. Anyway. The guitarist in one of my bands (a 3 piece - guitar/drums/bass) flat-out asked me if I was still into it and I had to say that I'm really not. I was meant to be going a rehearsal on Tuesday but he's asked to have a chat with me this weekend instead. Truth is, I find it really hard to work with the drummer as she's inconsistent with tempo, very loud too, focused on fills instead of getting the basic beat right and the two of the start fast and speed up. If I was into the material I'd try and work with them but I'm not enjoying the songs - the angular alt-punk thing grates on me after a few numbers. I feel really bad as I enjoy spending time with both but the beers after are much more fun than the music bit. Urgh. This bit of playing music sucks.... - Today

Legendary analog bass synth pedal from Chunk systems. Long discontinued and very hard to come by. These units were only handmade between 2008 and 2012 in Australia and sadly the maker disappeared and no longer makes any pedals. It's effectively the legendary and sought after in its own right Brown Dog Gated Fuzz and Agent 00 Funk (which both sell for almost the asking price separately!) in a single pedal, with a VCO and a digital control interface. Unlike modern synth pedals, the audio circuit is 100% analog and the digital elements are just to change and save settings and presets. Around 300 were made. This one is loaded with the last firmware version and has a mix of factory presets (including those made by Jamiroquai/Paul Turner) and my own. I can leave everything as-is or reset the firmware so only factory presets remain, either way I'll include the SD card with everything loaded on. Part of its legend/charm is it's not great to use interface(!), but you get the hang of it. Highly recommend using this website for tips http://www.cgraham.com/chris/music/bass/octavius_squeezer/. Also linked on that site is a spreadsheet I made to document presets, both factory and custom. Pedal is in very good condition, few marks and scratches here and there commensurate with age, works perfectly. No box or PSU, works off a regular 9v regulated supply. I'll try and remember to grab some more pics soon.

I'm not a techy type so I'll likely describe this ALL wrong but whenever I've had connection issues it is my inability to recall what I need to turn off/disable on my device regarding connecting to the internet / WiFi. I always forget to go into my phone/tablet settings and switch off 'something' ergo the device can't see/interact. It is a basic thing that anyone reading this will likely have no issue with! LOL

Good points ! My Washburn status is a bit deceptive though . Whenever anyone sees that they say what a lovely bass , followed by “ that’s heavy !”🙂 -

Hi, I know I can't buy one off the shelf, so xan anyone recommend where in the UK I can get a new scratchplate made for my Lakland Skyline 44-64? I'm assuming I will need to send off the existing one so it can be cut to a perfect match. Thanks!
