Sorry for going slightly off topic here but I have heard that phrase before and can't believe its true. Any sound engineer that uses that excuse has no idea what they are doing...."Ere.... sorry mate you'll have to remove all of your guitarists pedals as I don't know what to do with the output....it's not pure..........and as for yer mate on that there synthy thing-u-majig.....can't he just mime or summat?" 😮😁 As you were....😁

Just sold 2 Smith straps to Jeff. It was an easy deal and nice guy to chat with. Thanks Jeff 👍

Hello fellow northern bass person. Welcome! 👍🙂

As it says on the tin..... A fully working M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI Sound Card with breakout cables. I've just taken this out of my PC as I have gone Focusrite. "Free" for the cost of the postage 😁

I think were all sometimes a bit prone to the "must buy a sexy bass" and then amp and then possibly, if we have a bit of money left over some sort of cab. One eureka moment for me was after a number of years of playing through a variety of mongrel amps and cabs I bought a second hand Trace amp and 410. It was like night and day to what I'd been used to. I still like having a sexy bass but having owned and used a number of high end Barefaced, DR Bass, Vanderkley and Berg cabs I do notice a big difference to the sound when I use more budget or older design cabs. I think a good cab and matching amp can make a cheaper bass sound better but a cheaper system doesn't get the best out of a good bass.

I think there's room for more than 1 bass event and hope this works out. As the location is Manchester this may persuade more of us folk up't north to attend. I would love to go to the London show again but 1) no idea who's on with only weeks to go and 2) currently would cost about £600 to attend (Manchester would be half that!)

Same problem for me on my Samsung Note 9 using the Samsung browser. Google seems ok.

Maybe you could mention to them that "beginning artist announcements" is not good enough! ☹️ It all looks to me like they havent got anyone but can't tell us for obvious reasons! 😮 Sorry about the grumble. Its not your fault. Appreciate you feeding back to them 👍 (PS: Extra grumpiness today as I've just come back from the dentist with toothache! 😖)

I don't understand?!? 🤔 For me it's like saying "I only breath every other hour" lol 😁 How do you manage this inhuman feat of restraint? Back on topic....you've got yourself a VERY nice bass there. I played a Smith 6 exclusively for 8 years and found it really comfortable for a 6. The only reason I got rid of it was that a Smith 5 Fusion 25th came up which I did a trade for. I'm sure you're going to have many hours of enjoyment from yours both playing and looking at it. Yes! This is the first time I've seen this and I agree it's the best "real world application" video of a Smith I've seen. Most others consist of extremely talented players soloing at high speed up the dusty end. Impressive - yes. Relatable by the majority of people who want to hear the bass under normal playing conditions - nope, not really. "Filmed on a potato"......brilliant explanation, I now understand why 😂

You're right that £20 is good value for the event. I have attended a number of the previous shows and really enjoyed myself. However for many who want to attend and are outside London, the problem is not the ticket cost, it's the travelling, accomodation, food etc that we need to spend. For me in Aberdeen I have to budget £500 to cover this AND book time off and flights / train / hotel early enough to get reasonable deals. I am much less inclined to commit if I don't know who's on, when they're on or what's actually happening. If you think of the Bass Show as a mini-festival, lots of musical acts with other attractions and vendors going on around the perifery. If any other festival started promoting and selling tickets without also advertising who was the headliner or support acts, ticket sales would be dire. Who would spend £20 on a ticket never mind a lot more than that? I'm really hoping (like others) that they publish whats happening sooner rather than later to give those living in the distant wastelands of the UK (ie: outside of the M25 😁) a chance to plan and attend.

Nice bass! Does your Dad fancy adopting me in time for my next birthday? Just askin' 👍😂

I would roughly cost it up as: Number of days away X band members X day rate + expenses (and costs for organising Visas etc) Example: 4 X 4 X £200 + expenses = £3,200 + expenses Day rate could be the cost of you being away from work, normal UK gig split or a combination of both. You may only be playing for 45 mins but if you are unable to take work / gigs on the 4 days due to being away you need to cover for that loss.

I've been quite lucky to have wielded some impressive wood over the years (fnar) 😂

Just bought a Smoothhound wireless from Charlie. As everyone else on this thread says quick delivery and great communication. Recommended seller.

Scotlands a big place 😁 Where are you based? There's also this.... BCer's Prepared To Help Fix A Bass
