Oh how I wish every manufacturer could produce instruction videos as good as this.

Yep this is my situation. I alternate gear. Don't buy any more because my money has gone but I have enough to swap stuff around.

I always find it incomprehensible that folk form a loving bond with a wholly inanimate, impersonal object like, say, a car or a house, and yet here I am genuinely bereft at the passing of a loudspeaker. Strange chaps us humans. I just plugged into my hefty old 15" Trace Elliot cab and annoyed the neighbours one last time. Dreamed of owning this when I was a callow bass player with a Woolworths guitar and a head full of dreams. Now I'm at the far end of that road, grizzled, cynical, ancient beyond counting, and I can neither afford a vehicle that can carry it nor lift the damn thing. I put a solid old fashioned amp into it and cranked it beyond any level of neighborhood decency. Still sounds as amazing today as I dreamed it would way back when. It's going to a new home, for a new lease of life. I hope it will still bring joy long after I'm returned to dust. Adieu old friend, you were such a heavy ba$tard.

Looks very exciting. I like a bass synth. However, as it's nearly 300 quid I'm happy to wait.

Yep. I've ended up stripping it down and counting the old 1e+u 2e+u and seeing exactly where the notes fall. Thank you for your post because I was feeling embarrassed at my inability to just listen and play it

Learning, among others) I Shot The Sheriff for a dep gig next weekend. Timing of the bassline is not immediately obvious. Great line though.

Yes. Exactly as per the older version. USB midi controller like a Disaster Area one

I am listening to the album Inner Urge by Joe Henderson. Doing an album a week as part of my education. It's pretty cool.

I endorse this ☝🏻 sentiment

My life underwent a similar upheaval a few years back. She bought me out of the house so I had a few grand to splurge in the Basschat market place and ever since I have been living the life of an itinerant musician. I'm pretty much broke by most people's standards but I wouldn't go back for any money. Hang in there mate, life can surprise you in a good way too

First gig for the reggae start up on Saturday night so we squeezed in a rehearsal last night. Sadly the drummer can't cope with the histrionics of one of the singers and has announced his intention to leave once we find a suitable replacement. This may therefore turn out to be our only outing 😞

Oooh, sexy

Bijou and beautiful The important bit here is my clean blender Renders all sorts of problematic pedals useful.

Kept getting lost reading You're The One That I Want whenever it was called at a Bandeoke. The timing is crucial and there are position shifts for which my sight reading skills are insufficient. So I've been learning it, and for such a silly song I have to say the bass line is really good, Great fun to play.

Yeah that is pretty crazy in fairness

I'm not so sure about that....

I am planning some mods. I'll report back on how they affect the sound

I gigged this beauty last night and it sounded amazing and so many folk commented on it and took photos of it. Hate to upset the tone wood fan base but this is made of Lego. And it sounds absolutely awesome.

Ah good point 🤦
