    Modern music.

    In my view some modern is rubbish but some is fantastic, Miley Cyrus has just released a terrific song called "Flowers" which has gone to #1 in the UK and the USA, it's a brilliant pop song IMHO, one of my favourite artists Ian Hunter, who's in his eighties, has just released a song called "Bed Of Roses" featuring Ringo Starr and Mike Campbell which is also just as good but it's classic rock and not what you would call modern music, in the end for me it comes down to how good the song is and these are both excellent and weirdly both have horticulture themed titles LOL ;) :D

    Hi 

     

    My son got a Yamaha TRBX174 for his birthday last year and he subsequently got a Fender Rumble LT25 and stand.  Its coming up to his birthday again and  I was looking for something to get him.  He says he'd like some new strings and I've asked if he would like some lessons but he says he's ok using the online resources at the mo, so I was looking at something else and so far the only thing I can think of is a cleaning kit.

     

    Having had a quick look I'm not sure if they are actually a good idea.  I don't play so any advise would be gratefully received....along with any bass present ideas.  A friend gave him a strap so that's covered.

     

    Thanks 

     

    The Fender  Rumble LT25 has built in effects, a tuner and presets so a multi effects might not be that useful, what a about a good pair of headphones for silent bass practice ? :D

    How has your taste in music changed over the years?

    I was mainly into rock music for many years from my teens, nowadays I'm into a variety of different musical genre's, I've also started liking female artists more in the last few years after mainly liking male artists most of my life, current female artists I really admire are Amanda Shires, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Maren Morris and Lauren Tate (lead singer for punk band Hands Off Gretel, also rap/metal alter-ego Delilah Bon plus solo releases), so in short I think my musical tastes have become more varied as I've got older !! :)

    Miller M2, M5 or M7?!

    I have an M2 and it's a superb bass, the neck is a thing of beauty to play with the rolled edge fret board, great value for money. The only problem I had with the bass was a wire becoming loose that connected up the battery pack but a bit of soldering sorted that !! :)
