    There is an odd thing about weight - my ibanez sr5005 I find very heavy so dont play very often. Likewise my spector is a bit heavier than I would like. However, recently for the second half of gigs I have been playing my acrylic jazz style bass which makes both of them seem like toys, yet, apart from the initial pickup I don't really have a problem with its weight. Not sure if it is the balance of some other element of how it sits, but it doesn't get to me the way the others do and I can play it quite comfortably (although it would be more comfortable if I filed the nut down a bit). I don't know why this is. And to the OP - it doesn't matter how heavy your bass is to someone else if you don't have a problem with it.

    I did think of using a cheap amazon fire tablet for it, but then I used one, so decided to just get a cheap older iPad and not connect it to my other data.

    Not for an XR18, you need either the XAir software or something like mixing station if you like that

    Anything made in the last 6 or 7 years is bound to be fine, it is for iPads, I can't really say for android stuff but I assume it is the same unless they are real budget ones.

    Mines 2 or 3 lines, but tough, suck it up buttercups

    Get those on thing - I assume someone must fall for it, but then they were going to fall for anything. Dissapointing but that is the way the world is!

    I assume it has to be 1 - it is a feature of the software it would appear. I also hide long sigs, but hadn't noticed that

    I didn't know so I looked into it - to ignore a users signature you have to add them to your ignore list, and just select their signature (you don't actually do this, that is what happens in the background), but you can't add a moderator to an ignore list, so that doesn't work. So yes, it is a feature of the forum itself and there isn't a way around that one on here.

    Probably no more than any string through body bass - although maybe the curve is a bit less

    Seemed remarkably uneventful, so not that swanky, but still cock-a-hoop that it worked ok

    Worse that that, some people find fenders good looking

    Really depends on the song - I have done just over 20 in 2 weeks and honestly some songs you can do 3 absolutely fine in 1 night and then one song takes days of work to get right (or longer). But we are all different in how quickly we learn things, so there is no actual specific number you can learn, it is down to you. If it is too much for you, say so.

    But that is the thing, you will never pick it up so it doesn't matter that it sounds great. So looks are very important.

    Yorkshire is a bit too much of a jog! makes sense, although there are a finite number of basses, the demand for YOB basses from the earlier years increased as people had the money for them, but as time goes on the number of those people is reducing and like anything (vintage cars etc) prices can go down, seems artificially high at the moment

    Seems a lot of work for not much money!

    Hi All, another upgrade on the 13/14th Jan, nothing major but if you see any new bugs can you let me know, thanks

    Fender musical instruments inc was the company setup by the management group that bought fender from CBS in 1985

    Indeed - but that isn't a moog I had thought of those, and I also did think of the moog theremini, but it hard to see what it is like because if you look on a place where theremin players hang out, using a theremini is basically digging up Leon Theramin himself and using his body as a scarecrow, but a bit worse. Wonder what they will make of that. If this turns up it will be a fun thing at a price that is still in the fun area

    Indeed - and that is what put me off getting one - I have a few insruments that I don't have time for, but until you try, you don't know if it would be fantastic or not so great. I can't really imagine doing mustang sally on it at the dog and duck. Crazy horses on the other hand... But this, at near £100, as a pure music making machine, I can live with that, and also lets me know if it is something I would like to do. I don't think you get many theramins at open mic nights

    I dont' think this is unusual for ibanez. Although there are a lot of different SRs, that is only because they have been going so long. Each year they have a few models in a few colours. Otherwise it is a big market to cover.

    Thats where I am with this!

    I think the theremin has the synth engine of the X1 by the look of the controls.

    Why? if you are watching something on the telly you just press the record button and watch it later - also unlike online players or youtube, you can skip any adverts

    isn't your one pickupless on the front? Mine the pickups are sort of part of the neck, so not much scope for adjustment

    I think the great advantage of this is the cost - I think they should have probably put a trigger out on in or some other interface, but that is not really what they are about. But build that into some filters and a bit of cheap hacking, and people are going to do great things with it!
