I've been surprised at how realistic some programmed bass guitar lines have sounded recently.

Heard this on radio 2 this morning, new single from Jason Mraz. Nothing revolutionary just a nice bit of funky bass guitar which is very prominent in the mix. I'm guessing a 5 string Jazz type instrument... Please don't tell me it's programmed 🥺

What a chart, Wow!

This is exactly the sort of post which convinces me why I just can't stay off Basschat 🙂

Warning: Boring comment alert....🤓 I found myself in central London today so I decided to have a look around the music shops. Found the Yamaha shop and left wondering if they actually want to sell anything to the general public. Beautifully presented shop but those prices....whoa! I wanted another go on a BB P34 as i think they're tasty. They were marked up as around £1.5k - WHAT?! As soon as you walk out of the shop with that you've lost £600 as they fetch £850-950 second hand. Also, the one I played had some serious hum. The other places down the road on Denmark St were nice though. I still like the P34 though and if I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket I'd be vulnerable....

Had anyone mentioned Norman Watt Roy yet?

+1 for these three. Les Claypool and Mark King from me please 🙏

What's the weight like on these? I just don't get on with Jazzes but I'm smitten with this 🥰

I think it's OK for the opening set but I think as always it will depend on the delivery.

I think I have a very broad taste in music but it is about the way we listen to the radio I suppose. I often just need something 'easier' on the ear or familiar...

Love 6 Music as an idea but the music is just so unlistenable to me most of the time I rarely listen to it with the exception of Radcliffe and Maconie who I have on nearly every weekend morning.
