Not sure there are sides. You asked for advice, you got some, noone on here really cares what you use (none of the grown-ups anyway!), the only person it matters to is you. Frankly the more interesting question is what DAW you are going to use, and if you are going to use software instruments. Not sure what platform you are going for but if you end up with a mac, its well worth getting MainStage, its great value.

I develop windows software. I have both. Windows for developing software, Mac for everything else. Well, normally, this post is being written on a PC, as my mac is playing a version of 'I can't go for that' in Logic Pro X on the mac mini, that I am going to send to my group to give them a template for what we are working on.

Mine was 2000, and it was hard to find as they are dying out (or were even then)

I don't find it any tackier than any other logo. On the plus side the EHBs don't have any logo on their headstocks!

Well, that is a bit judgemental about the decor of his house

I have pretty well always have had both, in fact, bought a new(er) windows laptop this week - don't let anyone tell you they are cheap if you want something decent. I have done music on both and TBH, life is too short for me to do music on windows. I know, a lot of people use it and swear by it, and if you really love windows you probably won't get on with the mac that much so you are probably better off with windows. Don't rule out either a refurbed mac (available on the store, a few hundred quid off), or a second hand of a few years old,, my macbook is 2013 and I don't really have a pressing need to update it yet.

Wow, holy thread revival!

If they are fans, they are almost certainly going to be watching his website as much as any pink floyd website. In fact, if they feel the same way as post RW pink floyd as you do, maybe more. So I don't see an issue.

Love GAKs description " The bolt-on neck promises comfortable playability with its 30"" short scale, perfect for beginners and even electric guitar players" (my bolding there!)

I had a 5 string 30" bass for a while and found it almost impossible to find 5 string 30" scale strings B-G. Thats when I started using newtones, and they were good. Obviously no use if you want to use d'adarios thought. At a brief look it seems they don't do them, maybe the 130 is not a d'adario and is something else?

Generally at a drivethrough you listen to the sound on your radio

Thats what I meant about the way of getting stuff done. I don't feel it is a parent thing, I think it is a bullying thing, "Those people wont do what I want, all you people hassle them until I do". Part of the twitter thing. I am sure if he thought he had a genuine chance of it happening he is capable of getting Dave Gillmours telephone number

Thread-leak from elsewhere!

As long as it makes someone happy, I guess that is all that music is about, I might go and hunt on youtube to see if there are any good versions. True, but maybe they could have started with that

I don't like it because it is a great song sang by someone who could sing it very well a few decades ago. But now can't. Not knocking any of the musicians, who are excelent, as would be expected. For the same reason I can't listen to rush live performances of the last decade or jethro tull performances, I understand that they are these peoples songs, who have the right to do whatever the hell they want with it, but from my point of view, their performance takes away from the work they have done, rather than adds to it. I have heard several great covers of that song, that are many times better than that. I am sure there are covers on youtube that are many times better than that, but they are not Roger Waters. If you played that song and a cover to someone who didn't know the song or the people involved, and asked them to pick the best one, I would bet it wouldn't be that. So yes, I don't like it, because it is a great song.

I don't because it is a great song.

Well, I suppose if you are a real PF fanboi you are pre-disposed to like it just because its Roger Waters. And I am sure it is better than the other video (which I didn't watch!)

Maybe, I guess that is up to the website owner. Doesnt he have his own website? I know from experience, after the 3rd or 4th time of repairing a bridge that someone else has burned the 'Oh come on lads, can't we all be friends' starts wearing very thin.

I like PF, but if they are no longer a going concern and it is a legacy thing, I don't see that activity by the principle members is really anything to do with it, it should be old discovered archives, or things related to the band. and I have no idea what the vontrap thing, is, I don't like them enough to look

We are not all build like aquaman here!

When he decided to not continue with the band, instead of leaving he sued everyone to make sure noone could have it if he didn't. He lost, they continued and had quite a bit of success. If it was down to him there wouldn't be a pink floyd website for him to put his stuff on. I don't know him or them, but he doesn't appear to be that easy to work with, and obviously they do know him and can decide. And if you want someone else to do somehting to help you, I find going to them rather than just posting a video to all your fans to try and get round them is almost certainly the least likely way to get what you want.

Great little basses, especially at the price, and nice to see some medium scale basses too. Bit too wide a string spacing for me, but a good starter bass for people who don't mind falling through the gaps!

Speak for yourself, I'm f*in hot

I think that is a much better indicator. For a start noone knows what is in the video before they start playing it, and when searching for a bass playing video, I start looking for the song, not the player. OK, when I see the list, I can pick at that time, but I certainly never think 'I won't watch that one, it might have some slap in it'
