2 entries in the one month! Now which to choose as my entry? This one is a different view on the pic. Looking at it as a great memory. One where you feel warm and happy. Maybe you worked in the factory? Maybe it was a party in this factory? Maybe you found love here? Whatever it may have been, it's a happy place to visit. See next page for update....

Angels are male. A female angel is a fairy. 😂

True. But there’s not much choice there for many of those goods. A bass on the other hand…

It would appear so. 🙄 Well that's a bummer.

Cheers. He already has a cheap bass that someone gave him. He’s really looking for something to record with. He’ll probably put it through a Kemper. Just now he’s really liking the Sub Ray 4, though he’s liked a few of the basses for sale on here too. I’m not gonna start a debate on human rights.

Given their human rights record, I avoid Cort.

Cheers guys. Suggestions have been passed on to him. Keep em coming. 😎

A friend is looking to get a bass (he’s a pretty good guitarist) & looking for recommendations for new or second hand basses between £300-450. He plays a myriad of styles, but gravitates towards funk & soul. I’m thinking a jazz style bass or possibly an Ibanez may be the way to go. The Sterling Sub Ray 4/5 looks like a good option too. I figured if there’s anywhere to ask, then here is best.

Have you had a look at NI GuitarRig 6? They do a free version.

I just got Komplete 13 last week & what better excuse to make an entry is that. So, abandoned warehouse, cue sombre synthetic strings. Feeling empty, cue lonely piano. Let's have a look around this ruin.

I’ve wanted Komplete for years, but something always popped up & prevented me from getting it…. Not anymore! There was an offer on, so today I took delivery of Komplete 13 & an S61 mk2. I’ve just played a couple of sounds, but wow! It sounds fabulous. Noire is something else.

The original recorded bassline is actually a synth, but a bassist plays it live. Though I do wonder if there's a synth playing that low F#?

Just discovered Vital a couple of days ago. THey do a free version & from the short play I've had it sounds pretty good... https://vital.audio

Sorry, but I disagree. I used to have the same view, but a metronome can really tighten up the sound & reduce sloppiness. Even if it’s just the drummer who has the click, it makes a huge difference. You can always adjust the tempo on the fly if you feel it’s too fast/slow.

I’ve been working on a couple of songs with acoustic guitar players/singers & ask them to play to a click & then send me it. What gets me, is how do they manage to lose time with the click. Some they end up playing between the click (usually mid chorus), some lose/gain a beat & some just forget they had a click at all. 😂

I’d spend a bit of time learning Logic’s drummer. You can really tune the drums to bits, swap bits of kit & fire it off as a midi to do what you want with. Also worth making it multi out, so you can EQ & add effects to every bit of the kit.

Well done Dad. A tight run to the end, but a worthy win. 😎

We’re playing live worship on 6th June. Looking forward to playing again.

Since the current owner of rickenbacker acted like a bawbag to BC, threatening legal action & basically being a fousty front bottom, I've lost all interest in Rics. I'd get a rickenfacker instead. Bawjaws hates them. 😂

A bit more than your budget, but Roli Equator 2 has some verrrry nice baby grand patches. Lovingly mix’s up in a number of different ways.

No, but I use an octaver. Synth goes lower than low B too.

I don't mic my cab. Bass > pedalboard > interface > DAW > Interface > LP6. I've never used my rig for about 2 years.

I've not used mine in anger, but I've played bassw & subby synth bass through them at a decent volume (well I do use them for recording & mixing). They give a very clear sound & fairly uncoloured.

Over the past year, I've been working with other musicians. We use google drive & bounce each individual track down as etierh an MP3 or a Wav. When we're getting the song started, it's mostly MP3 to keep the size down, then once we know what we're doing, it's all wav. Most of the others use Reaper, I use LPX.

She can listen to 5 songs either in one sitting or spread out over the week. It ensures I get 2 days peace from her playing music. 🥸
