    Not really understanding why people feel the need to just be nasty bastards on here. Get a life.

      Sorry to hear that mate, totally agree though, let the Mods do their modding and ignore the haters

       

      Hopefully it's a minority thing and BC remains a friendly and helpful place generally 🙂

    What's the number one thing to do when you've just agreed to buy a new bass?

     

    Slice the tip of your index finger off making dinner 😅

      what was the dinner - did it end up containing finger?

    Never realised just how wrongly I played "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade until I charted it out just now :)

      Right. And it's also a tune where it's very easy to go off the reservation pretty quickly if you don't really know what you are doing!

       

      Thankfully we get 11 months to practice it

      Is this linked to the BTB805MS that you've just ordered? I didn't realize Ibanez were doing a bass/cat promo at the moment. Are other animals available i.e. goldfish with a 5 string prestige?

    Flightradar is so cool. I've just watched some in-flight refuelling taking place over the North Sea.

      Wow

       

      I didn't know about this until I read your post Rich. Brilliant stuff.

       

      So can you see military aircraft and actual see what they are doing? Nothing secret of course but fascinating to be able to observe some of the air activity

    Just seeing a friend is having to let go of a lot of his basses - possibly the single biggest collection of ACGs to go up for sale too. Would be good to see them go to good homes so keep your eyes on Bass Direct.

      sorry to hear that - totally unaware of the circumstances here so apologies if my previous note came across a bit mercenary, it was meant to be constructive!

    Whilst cleaning my teeth this morning with an electric toothbrush I found I could do a passable facsimilie of 'Livin On A Prayer'.  I may have dribbled toothpasty spit down my front but consider it a small price to pay.

     

    That is all.

      After years of never having had to play LOP I now have to cover it in two bands. In both cases we have discussed how best to approach the 'talk box' type vocal part. You sir, would appear to have solved our problem and simultaneously added an unexpected minty fresh bonus. A trip down to Boots awaits methinks. The forum and two East Anglian cover bands thank you.

      Pics or it never happened. That's certainly a thing for NBD, assume it would apply here too.

       

      Is the SB fretless/passive/etc? We need details please

    Oh band dramas, the sh!@ has really hit the fan with this one, honestly I sometimes wonder why we put ourselves through this

    1. andybassdoyle

      andybassdoyle

      +1 to that - sounds like you've got at least one guitarist too many!

       

      Bummer though - it's painful when this stuff gets in the way of the music. That's human beings for you

    One of my students has an awesome sounding Jazz bass. I don't actually own a Jazz bass. Now I need a Jazz bass.

    Given that the tracking doesn't seem to work... how long should a Thomann order take? 

    1. andybassdoyle

      andybassdoyle

      In my experience they're usually pretty good. My last one was a Sire P5 in early December last year, think it took around 3 working days - super quick.

       

      Their customer service has always been good too. Might be worth pinging them if you have opportunity

    Isn’t it crazy that nobody during WW2 had ever heard electric slap bass?

    1. andybassdoyle

      andybassdoyle

      I'm agnostic on the slap subject, this has to be one of the oddest threads I've noticed for quite a while though

    Anyone playing a Cort GB75JH (or JJ)? 

    1. andybassdoyle

      andybassdoyle

      Yeah I saw your review, ended up with the amber variant. Really nice basses for the money I would say. I was really keen to stick with 34 scale which is why I didn't go for the 5 string as I think that's a 35 er.

      Clear pickguard is a mystery to me, that had to go straight away!
