Tempting offer as always fancied an accoustic bass but for time being please donate to worthy cause. After all it's Christmas.

Fender rumble 500w under £500. Surely you can pick uo a secind hand cheaper.I don't gig but if I had your budget I'd keep the basses provided you're happy with them. Have them set up, maybe re string. Someone mentioned multi effects. For a bass? Why? I'd get a DI pedal. I occasionally use Hartke DI pedal or TC spectracomp pedal. Both give that extra umph if needed. Have you checked out the market in BC?

I use both flats and rounds. Rounds and flats on my jazzes and flats on my p basses. Purely as I'm a Maiden fan. Flats feel good when played and as far as I'm converted they help to achieve that typical p bass sound. Rounds on my jazz sound more growly. I found however that flats lose the brightness quicker.

I use Steve Harris signature flats and Fender flats. Happy with both.

Bought a second hand Squier p bass for £30. Replaced tuners, electronics, installed high mass bridge and spb1. Resprayed it and put a new pickguard on. With flats it sounds great. Don't do bad purchase.

Agreed. I treat myself as I hate to think about some of the "gifts" I get. I just saw a neighbour I've never spoken to putting a x mass cards through the letter box. Well, I won't be getting you one surely!

good health to my family and me happy work environment ability to sleep through the night world peace better salary no diesel cars ban motor sport ban smoking in public more entries at monthly composition challenge at Basschat

I was going to cover The Street Fighting Man. Spend hours on it recording guitars. 6 layers of guitar riff but now fed up with it.

Agreed. i recently put these on my p bass . They sound just the way I want them to sound. They're great for the price with plenty of mids.

The Street Fighting Man by Rolling Stones

Well. I picked a song without knowing how many covers there are. I can't sing though. I might knock it on the head as family/ work commitments won't allow me to enter. Besides all my recording stuff needs setting up from box whenever I want to record which is time consuming.

What's on your Christmas list this year? I'd like to upgrade to Ableton live 10 standard suite and replace my 2i2 focusrite with 2i4 2nd generation. These would make my recordings easier to produce and more efficient. Perhaps a cheeky mic, maybe SM58.

You mentioned Ableton live which is popular with DJs and live production. I use it to record predominantly with metal music recirding guitar, bass and keys with no issues. You can download endless plug ins to suit your needs such as drum VST or guitar plug ins. Amplitube us a popular guitar and bass plug in.

Not familiar with zoom 3 b but to record I use an interface, Focusrite scarlet 2i2. There is a 2nd generation out. Mist interfaces come with a free DAW . eg my focusrite scarlet interface came with free Ableton Live 9 lite now 10 lite. It only has 8 tracks but does a decent job for recordings. You can play an effect through interface or you can use VST within your DAW. There are lots of threads on here about what DAW and interface. Have read in

Good opportunity to grease up fingers

To my ears is this

Phew..I've got a month to choose a photo. I'll try not to be too apocalyptic this time.

a- haaa. I knew it. Auto tune! Sounds like Simon Cowell stuff...erm where can I get auto tune? I might have a go.

Not many of us sing. To be fair I composed quite a bit this year, but my compositions seem to be spontaneous and it's always a struggle to match a pic with a tune and is a last minute thing for me.

Thank you and like wise. Always enjoy your comps. Especially the wheels on the bus 😁 I haven't entered the challenge for a while but noticed the poor turnout in past months. Shame as there are some great musicians on here.

I will be once I get a studio room. For the time being, everything is in and out of a box when recording/playing. It's painstaking.
