On the bass that I play the least, the strings arent even a year old. My job basses have strings that aren't even a week old and one will be ready to change in the next few gigs. Strings on those basses would be incredibly lucky to remain on for as long as a month when I am gigging them (lots).

@everyone I think I have fixed the problem! If you click on 'Accounts'that takes you to your account online, there is a menu for Manage Apps under Security and Privacy. I had a few apps connected to my Spotify account. I knew what the all were. I have deleted all of them and I have subsequently been able (so far) to remove everything by this unknown account. One application happened to be Universal Music.. so it seems they can add tracks to your profile and have access to your playlists. I'm still tempted to ditch Spotify altogether.

I've tried to block the ForYou account and deleted all of their tracks over and over, but they all keep coming back straight away.

Oh wow, that's interesting! So, Spotify is auto-populating people's playlists? Thats sneaky!

I'm thinking about deleting this playlust as I have just noticed (finally) that it has been utterly overrun with thousands (over 10,000 actually) of tracks that are not even remotely relevant to the point of the playlist. "ForYou" account has added the tracks making it nigh on impossible to randomise what we started with. Cheers for that...

Phil Mann's signature valve DI, "Finally" from Sushi Box might do the trick:- https://www.sushiboxfx.com/product/finally/

Thank You!

I have video reviewed both the GB Cube 800 and a nice handful of Barefaced cabinets. I think all the reviews are in this playlist. I hope they help! I have been road testing the Barefaced Big Twin 3 and have been very impressed with its big tone delivery. I'd really love to give the Big Baby 3 a spin too and, even beterr, for the system I am using, a powered option would be so cool!

Thank you!! We've got a massive pile of new gear to video review, including lining up this very bass for a full in-depth deep dive! I've recently covered the Fender Player Plus Jazz bass that is, I guess, the same family as the Blu DeTiger Signature Bass, and I really liked the one Fender sent me.

My first bass was a Marlin Sidewinder! 80’s P/HB config, which, I believe pre-dated the Fender Deluxe that had the same. I read a rumour that the Marlin inspired the Jazz Bass Special too, but I’ve not looked in to it. Though, I think with the right HB, it certainly has a fatter tone than a standard single coil. There’s a few basses I have reviewed with downright weedy bridge pickups. I don’t tend to solo the bridge pickup in all honesty. Nice to have something useable if I need to.

It’s the bridge pickup solo’d. Probably doesn’t sound awesome on a mobile device, but it had some nice bite on my studio monitors.
