  1. If I can add my tuppence worth, then I might do! Personally, and this just be wrong, I like to read other people's thoughts on something I'm purchasing!
  2. Are you ever north of the border? Or ever close-ish to the border? I love the look of this.
  3. He'll have done the numbers and worked out the expected up take. If he could do it within the normal academy, or even release as free material and still make money, I'm sure he would. But, I would suspect if its ten hours of material, th;s been a massive outlay involved
  4. My first proper bass! But in white. Stupidly stripped it down to the wood, defretted it and put a trem system onto it! Then sold it on ebay for 80 quid! Seem to remember it as being brilliant!
  5. Already googled! 😁😁 and, it seems tokai have no structure to their serials which make dating a non exact science! Basically, if its one specific year, then I'd be buying it, for the whole 'year of birth' thing!
  6. Any way to work out what year exactly?
  7. I've had a bass go missing through parcel force. It was getting sent to me. The seller never got his money back. Boxes the size of a bass don't disappear. They get thieved. The whole industry boils my fosters!
  8. I thought for a second this was a ms60b type replacement pedal, which i would have been interested in. Are all the buttons n'stuff really fake? That's utterly bizarre!
  9. I use them as my exclusive sounds for all my function work. It sounds awesome. Although I pretty much stick to the swr set, there's a definite sound difference in them all, so you'll find a sound you like, for sure!
  10. I agree with this completely. Even if it still took 2 slots of memory but we only saw one then it would make it better. Or even better... If there was a way to configure what 3 pedals are shown at any one time, rather than relying on scrolling left and right. I find that in practice not easy. I'd imagine folk are like me in that alot of the chain will always be switched on so wouldn't really need to have to scroll through them each time. It's probably a much more complicated solution than I'm imagining,but I think there's definitely something in it!
  11. Have you recently changed your practice routine? Specifically have you started to practice sitting down more than you used to? I ask, because I have. And I feel my technique when standing up (and the different angles I play at in result) feels a bit odd.. Which I blame on the bass, but it might not be. I went maybe 15 years with almost no home practice, so I pretty much always played standing up at gigs and rehearsals. Daft theory, I know.
  12. This, and naming stuff, I find a bit cringey.
  13. If I could start all over again, I would love to have used his playing style as inspiration. I love playing pick in the house, but don't think my technique is strong enough to be used live! Although this wee clip has made me want to practice more!
  14. Play one bass. Genuinely that's my thoughts. Make live play as simple as possible and just enjoy playing.
  15. I actually have haggis neeps and tatties on a semi regular basis. It's a wonderful meal! Though I'm Scottish, so it might not be unusual.
  16. Idebtical tical to my number 1 bass! Plays beautifully! I feel value of these are only going to go up!
  17. The new digital desks and PA's available to us are mind blowing. Great clean recording, some lovely playing too.
  18. Just as a matter of interest, what kind or artist rate are we talking? To me, sounds a bit like a selling tool by the manufacturers... Unless of course the rates are hugely discounted. Still a cool accolade though!
  19. I'd suggest the song or band is boring rather than the bass line! Some bass lines are repetitive but I still enjoy playing them, if you're in a good band with groove!
  20. People will do it. Because playing live is fun to alot of people, and a hobby. Obviously any musicians of any calibre wouldn't consider it, but if you don't ask you don't get! Not a big deal for me!
  21. Haha! Dont see it happening any time soon... but to be fair, I don't think they're overly rare, so keep your eyes peeled!
  22. Am I allowed to play with this bad boy? Bb1000 from 1978, bought from our very own PawelG a few months back. I wasn't using it live until a few weeks ago as I kinda love my 5 string but I've forgotten how much i love 4 string basses! Will be playing this as my #1 for the next wee while.
  23. I'm a massive yamaha fan. Dont think I've played a duff one! I'm currently gigging a '78 bb1000 which is a P bass, but plays fantastically well. Quite heavy, but great neck plus you have the kudos of playing a 'vintage' bass. can pick them up for the low end of your budget and will only increase in price!
  24. I do a lot of deps, mainly for function and wedding bands, and what I've came to realise is that the general public really dont care what the bassist does most of the time.
