Are you generating codes to distribute or something? This doesn't sound right to me in the general sense.

I've sworn off physical media for space reasons (although I should really go back and re-rip my CD collection at higher quality...) -- 99% of the time now I'm buying downloads from Bandcamp, or occasionally one of the other digital storefronts if there's something I want that's not on BC.

Tangent, but it's neat that that URL still works despite the profanity filter's best efforts.

If it's just for practice and you have something that already works, I wouldn't bother tbh. I'm sure you can find something more interesting to blow 1000 Euros on

Just finishing the 3.60 update, does anyone know what the consequences of ignoring these steps are? edit: oh a close reading of the release notes suggests it's probably this

On most bass bodies I don't think you'd have room to move the bridges far enough back to make the fan worthwhile without seriously compromising the reach and angle of the first fret. If you like a project for the sake of a project then go for it, but if you actually want an instrument to play on I agree with @Gwilym

Drop in fan-fret replacement necks aren't really a thing because you can't put them on a standard body without some serious compromises. If you really want FF and are ok with doing some (potentially a lot of) work yourself you could take a punt on something from AliExpress, or there's a thread somewhere here about Gear4Music selling B-stock FF models on eBay.

I'd have the Dingwall on purely aesthetic grounds.

But e.g. switching from standard tuning to drop D mid-set wouldn't be possible, right? I'm definitely more interested to try one now...

Yeah changing tuning on the fly would be a no-go. It doesn't lock, but there are springs that maintain tension, similar to a guitar vibrato bridge.

As I understand it, it's basically some springs that will keep the strings at a constant tension, even if other forces are applied elsewhere. I've read that it can prevent the effect you can get when playing heavily where the note goes slightly sharp then settles to pitch, which I think might be more exaggerated at lower tunings?

https://www.evertune.com/bass/index.php Seems like a solution in search of a problem to me, anyone going to save up for one?

Good thing you've got your shades handy!

Seems like it should be feasible. Recent example: Slightly older example, although it's a bit of a cliffhanger

Entirely possible they're from the same factory, they're all basically just rebadged versions of what you can see on AliExpress.

Bought some headphones from Nick -- exactly as described and superbly packed. 🍻

Can't be long until the letter from Neural DSP's lawyers arrives...

Yep, love my KZ6

Some others I've come across: - Some Corts (Elrick NJS5, GB Modern 5) - LTD F-series (the spiky looking one) - Schecter - Solar minor tangent, but whatever product manager named the Sterling Ray 35 needs their donkey kicked

55-01 or 55-OS are more to my taste, the 55-02 pickup arrangement just looks wonky to me? A fair point, although I'm pretty unfussy in general. "Looks cool" and "won't lose too much value when reselling" are probably the other key factors...

Yeah a used Skyline is pretty near the top of my list... quite taken with the 55-OS

Strictly window shopping for now... 😇

G&L are all 34", I think? I do have a Spector 6 (which is very nice, and what kicked off my 35" scale quest) although I'm not 100% sold on the body shape. Yamaha is a good shout, the BBs leave me cold aesthetically but a TRB would be a good option (although not the TRBx range which are all 34", oddly).

Nice, I didn't realise those ones were 35".
