My Steve Harris bass had it's original spb1 replaced with spb4. I fitted the spb1 in another bass but it didn't sound as good as the stock pup. The spb4 has significantly higher and noticeable output.... spb1 sounds nearer to classic p bass sound.....at least to ny ears

Voted, was a difficult and very close one to pick 3.

I'm in no way a PC expert but sounds like a plan. I find my 250g ssd too low of a capacity as I share it with other stuff. SSD seem to be cheaper than it was 2 years ago.

I did enjoy the BC podcast. Perhaps you could expand in the next edition on suitable PC / laptops on music production and how to build a simple PC tower for dummies. I think it would benefit us BCs 😉

I replaced my hard drive in my laptop with SSD and it fires up in seconds. Still my DAW often freezes whilst recirding etc.Unfortunately, both HDD and SSD have their pros and cons.I read that it's easier to recover data from HDD. HDD is also cheaper £= capacity but SSD quicker. I look forward to other BCs suggestions as I think I raised a similiar thread but never got a definitive answer which I will be highly unlikely to as most things are horses of courses. I also run Ableton live 9 lite with Focusrite Scarlet but use the same laptop for other non music tasks. As far as apple is concerned it's overpriced. You get more non apple for the same cash.

Nor just any flats Steve Harris rotos😉

Gary Moore .....full stop.

Down in Newport this weekend. Are there any good music shops anyone can recommended? second hand guitars etc? Anyone on BC from there?

I've contacted the biggest music store retailer in UK. Their website says 'if you see a better price we match it' Well, they said 'Nay' when I found the cheaper dealer. So I contacted GAK and they beat the price. Good on you GAK and shame on you Aye, Aye sir....

You need to know what you need the compressor for. Is it for home playing, live playing or post recording processing? Each situation would require different settings and if ten of us from basschat used a compressor in the aforementioned situations you would have 30 didfferent settings exception would be @Dad3353 who is a drumner (the louder the better 😊). We all hear sound differently so your ears are the best tool the find the answer. Also , remember that there are other aspects that have impact on how you set up the compressor. If you do a little search on basschat , there is a thread or more about compressors in general. I own TC spectracomp which is extremely versatile. Currently sits in the box but I was never dissapointed with it's performance. Horses for Corses.

Interviewer: Do you ever mess around with a 5-string? Steve Harris: Nah, that’s one too many, haha. In my opinion a bass player does not need five strings or more. But everyone to their own. If someone feels extra special by having more strings, that’s fine. But it’s not my cup of tea. Interviewer: Well I like to play seven-string guitars and my theory is: if I break a string I’ve still got six. Steve Harris: Well, there you go!

I listened to Anthrax since late 80,s early 90's. Best trash band IMHO. Frank seems like a nice bloke but so fo others in band. Shame I haven't seen the live.

I don't watch or talk football with the exception of WC 2018. When it comes to playing bass I never practice. I've been playing more guitar recently.

Thanks gor that Si. Checked mine it is 9.7.6. Will probably upgrade as 8 tracks is not enough. All works fine

Decided to get Novation launchkey 49 mk2 which arrived today. I have connected it and it reacts. Need to set it up. @Sibob I do have ableton live 9 lite already, so I don`t think I need to install the one that came with launchkey. I am, however struggling updating existing ableton l9l. When I click to check for updates in ableton live, there never seem to be update. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

I had a bit of time to listen to first 15 mins and to honestly say I had a smile on my face. Looking forward to listen to the rest. How do we know when the next one is on?

surely a microfiber car wash sponge does the same job?

I want to be heard not muted. Surely a diy gadget can be used for a fraction of the price.
