Hi guys.. A quick update for you… The re-programming is all but finished and we've almost got the mag back up and running. This has taken WAY longer than we had anticipated, but we're doing all that we can to get back on track. Would we have done things differently if we had the chance to start again? I'm sure we would, but the learning curve for any new business is a steep one and sometimes you've no choice but to roll with the punches. There's no doubt in my mind that the material we're currently working on is as good as you'll see in any bass publication and once we've caught up things should become much smoother. Apologies for not responding sooner, and I will be checking back regularly from here on in. Maybe I need to put together some kind of BassChat street team to help answer questions when I can't get on here? Let me know if you'd like to get involved. In the meantime, please feel free to give us a call or drop me an email if you've any questions and I'll do all I can to get back to you asap. Nick

Hi all.. Firstly, thanks again for being so patient while we get iBass off the ground. We really do have some fantastic editorial coming your way and for those who are feeling a little frustrated with the time it's taken to get to this point I can only apologise and hope you'll appreciate that we're a VERY small and independant team that's trying to build something new and exciting without the support of an established publishing house. We've also been busy reacting to feedback from our current subscribers, which has led to a lot of re-programming. The good news is that we will be rolling out the new format this week with each issue now available for free. We're also introducing a new members only area for paying subscribers that we'll be continually updating with extended video edits and exclusive competitions. The iPad and Android editions are still waiting in the wings and, all being well, will be released in the coming weeks along with a few other new additions. So, there's a lot to look forward to and I truly hope you'll stick with us as we get up and running again. Please do sign up to the mailing list.. http://www.ibassmag.com Or link up via our social networking sites and I'll be sure to keep you posted. Thanks again, Nick

Hi all, Contrary to reports, we are still forging ahead with the project, which is now really starting to take shape. The reprogramming has taken much longer than we had hoped, which is one of the drawbacks of having such a small team here. But we are on the brink of putting together something really special that's already beginning to evolve into other things. The relaunch is now days away, which includes brand-new bonus material..and we've got some great video interviews with Richard Bona, Janek Gwizdala, Duff McKagan, Ron Carter, Mark King and Pino Palladino all set for future issues.. plus a behind the scenes tour of Fodera Guitars.. so some really great stuff. I'll be the first to admit that it's been a difficult few months while we find our feet, but we are so, so grateful to everyone who's shown an interest in what we're trying to do. Thanks again for sticking with us. As soon as I have anymore news, you'll be the first to know. Nick

Exclusive to issue 02 of ibass magazine.. last month we sat down with Laurence Cottle as he put his big band through its paces in preparation for Ronnie Scott's 'Portrait of Jaco' gig, which marked what would have been Jaco's 60th birthday. Our footage features the band in full flight as they run through Cottle's arrangements of classic Jaco tunes including Domingo and Used to be a Cha Cha.. Laurence talks us through Jaco's solo on Continuum and shares his own memories of Jaco. Pino Palladino, Richard Bona, Marcus Miller and Dave Swift also get in on the act with their own thoughts on the great man, and there's also a brand-new solo bass track on offer, written and recorded by Michael Manring especially for this feature and in tribute to Jaco.

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1321882379' post='1443981'] On reflection,I wonder how I would have fared if I had clicked 'Pay Now' without thinking.Would it have emptied my bank account? Not that I have £17 million,you understand,but My Paypal is directly linked to my bank account.Jeez! [/quote] The system in the background is working correctly while the data is displayed incorrectly..so your millions are safe! We think we've located the problem. If you're able to try again it should now be fixed.

Sorry guys.. our technical team are looking into it right away!
