  1. years back when Microbass II was my way to play along to tracks without audio interface and DAW I used to plug in beyerdynamic 990 pro into the headphone out on the EBS unit - all the bass you can wish for, all day long, just beautiful, ten years later I still regard these headphones as one of the best out there, hard to beat for comfort, sound and durability (and price). PS. still have the microbass II, still love it, it might outlive me it's so well-built; headphones are on I think fourth pair of replaceable cushions, as good as new
  2. proof (if one was ever needed) that I spend way too much time on basschat - just watching the very fresh demo of this pedal from Nate Navarro, he dives into other users' presets and I see 'quatschmacher', hmm, where did I see this word before, I scratch my (balding) head, a-ha! Your preset comes up at 4.38:
  3. Well, the record is out and the only gripe I have with it is that it feels too short - otherwise, love it, a great trip into jazz-ish experimental territory, on repeat listening for me at the moment. https://open.spotify.com/album/5fsq4qeIWboRRPG7mGGfxr?si=9mWvGLNjQT6tkm3VU38jNA
  4. I'm surprised to see the phrase "enough basses" slip past BCs profanity filter.
  5. Wow. Great work and what a brilliant write up of the project. Thank you.
  6. Well turns out I really knew very little about Pino's gigs, glad I posted this, more stuff to check out! I am a kid/victim of the 90s so even though I knew who he was I only got really interested when he started playing with Trent and toured with NIN (initially was sad to see Justin being replaced...).
  7. There's more videos on Mr Mills' youtube channel promoting their forthcoming record, some very creative use of effects, capo on bass, more cool basses and remarkable musicianships. Hard to watch, I agree the quirky camerawork may get annoying. I referred to it as jazz but it kind is out there in the free, genre-less, let's make music we like sphere, closest to jazz but hardly traditional. Great thing about Pino he's done almost all the genres now - you can like him for ballad rock and RnB, or hate him for that and tune into his NIN and jazz stuff. I love it all, looking up his bass playing credits my ears / mind opened up to e.g. John Mayer and D'Angelo, the latter I don't think I would ever consider listening to.
  8. another genre Pino can add to his ever-growing list of gigs, forgive my ignorance if I missed him doing jazz before. I for one welcome Pino the jazz overlord: sweet, sweet tones from his famous fretless musicman, i like
  9. brixton academy always seemed a little too loud, after the dead weather gig in 2009 I thought I damaged my hearing permanently (fortunately not, or so I think...), I answered the phone a lot back then at work and could barely hear what people said , shouting back, for at least three days
  10. Jeff claims this is the biggest bass design leap or however he puts it since jazz bass, I suppose it's 'controversial' statements that are the marketing ploy here, and Greg from basstheworld on youtube says the pickups panning and adding or reducing volume does something special to the sound other basses dont. I WANT ONE TOO. But as others said, you have to buy one to try it as they are not really out there in the shops (irrelevant in covid times, I know...). Slim jazz-like neck is also not my thing so maybe I just need to forget it... *checks the 'for sale' thread, just in case*
  11. i tried a Duvoisin at the london bass show and these pickups are special, my jaw dropped a little at how they make the notes ring, articulate, that quirky bridge may add some to that too. this one looks very nice, good luck with the sale.
  12. joyous punk from London: I've had the album on repeat for a while now, it's just great: https://open.spotify.com/album/7ACE2v21yYt28fIF3TD1xZ?si=lsKka1zFRfG6n3iyi2LOLQ
  13. binky_bass, guess no more, you are right, quick google search directed me to a which? article from last year: "In fact, just three of the 119 products we tracked - that's 1% - were at their very cheapest price on Black Friday." there is a site in the country of my origin called fakefriday - some guy put it up and it essentially has bots scanning tech websites, you can look for a product and see if it really is a deal. obviously, it almost never is
  14. WOW looks like an absolute masterpiece, won't be picking up my jaw any time soon we need a demo, go on, just the intro to Jeremy and we can start a cult in your name
  15. if you can't feel it under your hands when playing then I would say live with it but email pics with concerns of QA to the shop, you may get a discount/store credit in the process but we also want pics of the whole bass!
  16. beautiful, and it probably plays and sounds equally good - jealous!
  17. The kind of bassline that makes me feel proud it's an instrument I can play,:
  18. lots of great channels suggested so far, cheers all! if you scroll down to videos from years ago, Marcin Pendowski did a lot of really good demos, no talking, his own (very good) groovy lines and different techniques so you can hear what the basses can sound like (warning, GAS inducing stuff!): https://www.youtube.com/user/pendowsky/videos
  19. you're literally* giving it away at this price, and it's still here?! I have the exact same bass, if the serial numbers mean anything mine is two years older, and it is just an amazing instrument, just had it back from the bass gallery, paid them to level/crown frets (after playing the bass relentlessly for a decade!) and the pro-luthier treatment made it sound not like one but two million dollars. so, anyway, good luck with the sale *ok, not literally, geez ...
  20. All right, while it's clear we just cannot stop loving the genius of Donny, let's refocus on why I posted this in the Bass Guitars section, for those who did not have the courage to explore Mr Experience's uploads. This next one features a Faux Steinberger, an octaver and some chorus. As a bonus, gratuitous amounts of charm from the Sophisticated `Lover himself:
  21. Not sure if this should maybe go in general discussion but hey, a fretless Musicman is supposedly the star fo the show here: oh, actually, there is a separate video devoted to the bass alone:
