Another one will be along soon. There have been quite a few acoustics recently.

shut up shut up shut up shut up *jams fingers in ears*

Thanks to whoever bought the fretless acoustic 5. I had it in my shopping cart and was hovering.. hovering...hovering over the button to buy it. Thanks for saving me from myself.

a good scattering of votes, but it looks like it's Discreets month..

Ours overlap in a fuzzy way. There's a few things that we both like equally and there's plenty of stuff that's fuzzier.
eg. My robopartner loves Etta James. I have absolutely no problem with Etta James. I like the music when it's on, it's just not something I would put on when I'm on my own. The same can be said for lots of other albums/genres which means there's only a few things that are intolerable to the other. Things that can never be put on the car stereo.
But that's good. The last thing I want in a partner is somebody who's just like me.

Cheers, Douglas!

Yeah, good bunch. Despite being pretty annoyed at Mornats for pointing out today is Sunday and not, as I thought, Saturday, I still enjoyed listening to the whole bunch.
I've picked my three..


EDIT: Updated the playlist to include the recently soundclouded track by Discreet.

Nice one. Looking forward to hearing them later. For the ones that are hosted on Soundcloud, here's a playlist for your convenience:

I only have headphones for all my listening and monitoring; inexpensive, albeit half-decent Superlux. I have them on most of the day, in fact. As to the Soundcloud count, I wouldn't rely too much, especially with such a low figure. I'm quite convinced that many 'listens' are really 'bots, picking up on just any old stuff posted. I should know; most of my contributions are squarely in the category of 'any old stuff', and get 'listens' despite that, sometimes even 'likes' from complete strangers. Maybe a count in the hundreds is a bit more significative, I wouldn't know. The essential is that it's a good piece, no..? The 'listens' are a bit of a bonus; to me, at least.

yeah, I'm not too bothered about listens, really. But I thought it was funny that the count went down because it made me think of somebody so bored by the tune that they somehow UNlistened.

On headphones, my favourite headphones are just some fairly cheap Sony ones. I like how neutral they are. ....but they're the ones I leave in work My headphones at home are decent but they advertise their mega bassiness, which isn't very good for mixing.

I didn't even get a chance to listen to mine on anything but the headphones plugged into my 8-track.
I checked it this morning on my phone and it had [b]5 [/b]plays on Soundcloud.
I just checked it on the headphones I have in work, and it now has[b] 4[/b] plays on Soundcloud.

...this is not a promising start..

GRUMP.

I was really happy with this months picture and felt like I would have the time but then work took over again.
I got a couple of days at the start to come up with some stuff and then three evenings this week to get it into Ableton. It didn't come out how I wanted it to but the important thing is I'm actually getting it in on time

That's a beautiful guitar! Is there a build thread for that that I'm missing?

I reeeeally want a go one of these. I think I want one.

if NBD stands for New Box Day, I can see my enthusiasm for this site fading..

EDIT:
aha! I spoke too soon. Beautiful bass.

Is it a poly finish?
Stripping that stuff is misery. No wonder you've got a few cans on hand

yeah, I think Squier pissing out great basses for about the same amount has messed with peoples perceptions a bit.
For parts and labour, I doubt he's making much (if any) profit at 200 dollars.
Mind you, the shipping is insane.

oh, great. I love the image. I'm hearing spacey, floaty, bloopy beeps...

wow. When you see it like that, putting a 34" scale neck on that body seems crazy!

Hello Rocker

Fellow Irish person AND a fellow Blue? What're the odds

It's the act of determining the manufacturer and/or model of a bass guitar based on available evidence, but that's not important right now.

holy mackerel, that's a satisfying pair of images. Such a nice fit.

yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there, and it could [i]really[/i] do with a lot more photos. But his feedback score is 100% anyway.

nutbags. Is it totally lost? Can't it be stabilised with the help of modern day liquid plastics or some such?

wow. Seriously, how metallic does it sound? Is it like a resonator guitar kind of sound or just normal?
I'm a [i]bit [/i]of a tonewood sceptic so I'm curious about this kind of thing.

A most enjoyable thread, from a readers point of view it's almost a shame it's finished.

Totally agree. Somebody give Andyjr1515 another weird lump of wood and some random, strict limitations.
