    Only ever taken out of the box once. This is that thing that listens to you strum some chords on guitar (or bass, whatever), then comes up with a drum pattern and bassline to go with. Perfect for that one-man-band busking act you hope you'll never have to stoop to. I can't stand the choons it makes so I've put everything back in the box as it was and it is yours (or your loved one's) for a measly fifty english quid (other nations' currency considered but I won't post overseas, apologies if that rules you out). This is the discontinued version without the looper, not the new Trio+ thing that may just be better -- I wouldn't know -- but costs twice as much. If you're still actually interested, here's the skinny: https://www.digitech.com/discontinued-products/TRIO-.html?dwvar_TRIO-_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current#q=trio&start=1 Collection from staycation-friendly Brighton & Hove, or will post at cost. I can work that out if it genuinely makes the difference. Go on, solo performers -- this will make you sound just like your first band while you were at school. Or, maybe I'm just rubbish at music and the thing is being passive-aggressive with me.

    https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/member-functions/achievements-ranks-r362/ I think it's more a case that the software update comes with these things and it's been deliberately made a bit of a business to turn them off.

    I have been ‘promoted’ overnight. To ‘enthusiast’. ‘They’ could not be more wrong.

    Sorry, badger farms? Is that to make shaving brushes with?

    Also, it's mostly here, including a link to the original isolated bass track*: * which has now been removed. Oh well.

    Mind you, this “top 7%” thing’s a bit sinister isn’t it?

    Only by gaming the system can we win. Can I have a like?

    Like this one?

    It means that you are a collaborator, selling nuclear secrets to the enemy.

    Just realised that while I may have some way to go before I am a Grand Master (is that a Gretsch?) I have at least reached drawer-dropping status. Will set up a separate begging thread to build up my likes.

    Were one to do so, I’ve no doubt one would be rated “upstanding member”.

    I am now an Explorer and the last post earned me a ‘great content’ badge. D’ya think another 130 points will get me promoted to Thunderbird? The campaign starts here.

    img.cAuthorPane_badge, ul.cAuthorPane_info li:nth-of-type(2) { display:none; } Not that I'm bothered you understand, but if you did want to kill the sucky gamification, this sledgehammer will crack that particular nut ...

    This was number one, ffs As for the Shaggs, colour me pretentious. So bad they're good, and every now and then there's a video of some capable musician or other playing a note-perfect cover of their odd rhythms and "melodies". As in the one above where the backing musicans are reading from a score and playing correctly untuned guitars. This makes them and me laugh, possibly for different reasons. Also: have you seen Foot-Foot? Weird-looking cat. Anyway, here's the list of awful music currently in contention, according to scientists (probably): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_considered_the_worst

    I'm not sure there is any such rule? Only rules I'm aware of concern publicising one's own listings and not mentioning he-who-must-not-be-named. I'm sure the mods can set us straight, though.

    Could start here: https://kaliummusic.com/shop/strings/electric-bass/ If you can get an F-string long enough I don't see why it wouldn't be possible with some fiddling about with bridge, nut and truss. This guy uses a banjo string for his top end (scroll about 3/4 of the way down to where he talks about strings): https://smartbassguitar.com/the-brian-gibson-interview-lightning-bolts-low-end/ I keep meaning to do this myself, so please do post results if you try it. I guess if you can get string sets for 7-strings you're laughing: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ibanez-BTB747-7-String-Bass-Natural-Low-Gloss/28R5

    Now you mention it, one of them isn't wearing a cardie is he? He'll catch his death like that.

    Do you think there's an algorithm out there that can take three songs you like and work out your identity? In case there is, here's something else from long ago. It's a song about American tourists. Can I have this one too?
