I very nearly bought a Bogart - really like the headless ones but with a kind of headstock shape at the end. They look really well made.

Imgbb is the best imo.

Wow - lets hope he doesn't fix his own car!

I think there are some albums missing and I'm always wary that Spotify might recommend certain artists for reasons other than my listening pleasure but taken with a pinch of salt it can be a useful tool. Most of the time I use it to search for a band I've heard of and have a quick listen, then dive in for a more detailed album-based approach to the band. Interesting point above about the lack of album based activity now - the kids at my school use iPads in class and often listen to music whilst working. 99% have playlists of individual songs (normally top 40) and when I say 'stick an album on and leave your iPad alone' they look at me as if to say WTF is an album. Many listen to things on youtube and nearly all use the standard Apple headphones. Having said that one chap has some decent Sennheisers that don't even fit into his bag and I saw him listening to RATM 'Evil Empire' the other day. Merit points given.

I ripped all my CDs to iTunes when I was at University - I couldn't take them all with me. They still live in a huge shelf at my parents house, something they remind me of every time I visit. Back then iTunes was a pain and I remember manually adding artwork to them all. Since then, I have moved to Spotify to discover music, occasionally download for offline listening and for convenience, but when I discover an album I really enjoy I buy it on vinyl so I have a copy of my own, with proper artwork. Most modern albums released on vinyl have an MP3 download token inside too, though I'll only use that if the album isn't on Spotify, or probably not bother using it (quite often they are 192kbps!) One thing I quite enjoy about this setup is that I have access to most of the music I want immediately, or I can sit down and listen to a whole album on a record player. In between, I can use Discogs to search for and find good quality vinyl pressings of albums so there's an element of the 'thrill of the chase' there, too - the perfect antidote to the immediacy of streaming. CDs sit somewhere in the middle, for me - they have a bit of a disposable feel, take up loads of space (somehow more than vinyl!) and are quite easy to find cheaply. I also hate trying to takeout the artwork/notes without making two bumps on it where those infernal little tabs sit on the jewel case. In terms of sound quality, I'm convinced that streaming, CD and vinyl all have their positives and negatives and I can happily listen to either

Yeah the reason I ask is because Amazon will sell the genuine article, but if you buy through an amazon seller (third party) there’s no guarantee they’ll have sourced the genuine article.

Please read the ‘what can be posted here’ notice at the top of this forum. Thanks!

I’ll do some for you. It’s complicated to explain but so it can track each string at the same time you use just the Roland pickup, so you have to choose a bass model to begin with (including the setting where you can out pickups wherever you like and choose what type of preamp and pickups) and then add the polyphonic effect, so as you can imagine there are millions of sounds available. That’s why it’s taken me so long to get into it. That’s before you add effects and an amp/cab lol. It’s quite weird because it sounds exactly like playing a full sized bass... come on get yours ordered!

Nice to hear this, glad you all like our little community. It’s been a pleasure to run and has been a massive part of my life.

You’ll be interested in this - this week I’ve been setting up and playing the polyphonic octaver. This means I can play -1 octave and do chords or just not worry about tracking at all (no glitches whatsoever). Then I discovered you can add another -2 octave on top of that.

Remember our chat Mick lol

Dispatched by Amazon or sold through amazon? Loads of fakes out there. I believe Elixir have some info in their site about how to identify them. I talk to Elixir a fair bit and they haven’t changed anything as far as I’m aware but I’ll double check for you. Hope not as I use them too, and love them to bits.

So he makes he hardware too? Fair play, if so. Otherwise I just cannot envisage how a Jazz Bass could be improved past a certain point. And Paul Turner endorses something different all the time.

I grew up in Witney and had a friend who lived just behind the brewery. We were jamming in his living room when the explosion/fire happened, must have been about ten years ago, maybe more. They used to do this alcopop called Beetlejuice, it was lovely.

Too much Hobgoblin?(you’re Witney, aren’t you?)

Very nice. How does it sound? Does it have the memory preset preamp?

Ok let me know how you get in and give me a shout when you’ve done them. Sorry about the problem, as I say it looks like they were posted during a database index or similar when we were moving servers

Hm very strange, yes perhaps try posting one again and see if that works. Maybe they were posted whilst the site was being updated or something. Give it a go. DO you have a £20 sub? if not PM me and I'll sort you out.
