Oh no.....a bass I've wanted for a while has become available. £2k+ though.....what to do!?!
I should probably go try it and hope that it's rubbish haha -
Does anybody know whether or not Cog Effects will start making pedals again? I really hope so - I've been really keen to try one of their T-16 octave pedals!

More finger puppets ordered... that can only mean one thing

That disappointing moment when a name bassist whom you befriended and greatly admired chooses to belittle you on Farcebook when you take issue with their alarmist vaxx-skeptic views.
Closing that door with a heavy heart.

Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?

This is a very interesting point and thread worthy in its own right.
There are lot of people that struggle with weight and for good reason. So part of the answer is right there, because the individuals that suffer from a bass that is optimal weight + 'x' lbs, it probably wouldn't matter how much 'x' is because it becomes insufferable.
Personally, I think I could cope with 10.4lbs as long as the balance was OK. That's what really plays my back up.
The big question is, if weight is an issue, why would you buy it in the first place when there are so many great sub 10lb 5'ers around.
I think we need to know more....and with pictures 😀

First gig with a new group tonight. The other half happened, by chance, to be sitting next to wives of the other band members and she therefore overheard their discussion of "the new bass player". Apparently, they "hope he lasts longer than the last one"...

Just picked up some KZ-ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors for £42 from Amazon. 5 driver per side, very impressed with them for the price!

If it sounds great and they’re comfortable that’s a top buy at that price. My main issue with the sets I’ve had is the cable going kaput! Solved it with my current pair by getting ones with replacement cables. Not had any issue since thankfully. For that price, it’s worth buying a pair as a back up. Thanks for the tip 👍

Watched a set by Sophie Ellis-Bextor at Bath's Pub in the Park yesterday. At first I thought she might be lip-syncing, but it turns out she's just very good. Her band were on fire too. They did an excellent version of Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' and the bassist (her husband I think? She called him Richard at one point, seems like a coincidence) absolutely nailed Guy Pratt's sublime octaved part on the original.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god...
Billy Sheehan 'liked' my Facebook comment.
You can take me now. Life is complete.

So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

If the same question gets asked over and over again on a forum... Does that make the question stupid?

All these years I thought that Sterling was a budget line from Musicman, like Sub.. rather than a model of bass...

Has Tom Jones lost the plot? The tracks I’ve heard from his new album (currently Radio 2’s album of the week) are dreadful. I though Hole In My Head was bad, but Popstar is worse.

Really missing my old Lakland 55-01 today. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly basses, including another great 55-01......but I would have the original back in a flash!

@Sibob - the best you can hope for is a first refusal should he ever have a change of heart.

Stolen bass... Today I was given some old gear from a coworker who sold his house and is abandoning his studio.
Among it is a hand built precision from the Netherlands. I had never heard of the builder so I searched google and found the man's Facebook page. I noticed he had 2 mutual friends. Posted him photo's of the bass asking if it is from his hand and it was indeed.
I had also posted 3 pics of it on FB, stating I was handed this bass and I did not know the brand. It did not take long for the rightful owner to recognize his custom made bass which had been stolen from his rehearsal room more then 25 years ago! He showed me pics to prove it, and some social media posts from 2017 of him searching for his lost treasure.
Today, I found him his bass and soon as I noticed it is his, I rang him up and gave him my address. Tomorrow he will pick it up. That will be quite a moment for sure!
Happy days. -
Taking a break from LCDs. See you all later, or when the BassChat omnibus print edition comes out.
