Yes, if you want ‘that’ as far as I can see you have to pay. ChatGPT was asking for a subscription of £30 a month and I couldn’t find any way to ’test’ how good it might be. It took three days to get the images out of copilot. It mostly produced ’even crapper and very unrelated images’ apologising profusely, then told me I’d run out of credits and had to wait 24 hrs to do more!

I’d be very interested if there is tool that can do what you say for a reasonable cost. As far as my (modest) research took me you have to be Disney to do hyper realistic vids of people who aren’t real…

When we released the last album, using Distrokid, they did a few promotional vids as part of the ‘service’ but they were basically actual video (one had Wednesday Adam’s in it) cut & changed to work to the bpm of the track. No ‘people who aren’t real’ involved.

I looked into this recently and I couldn’t find anything ‘free’. Any with a free trial still needed a credit card number and I’m too sceptical to do that.

I ended up using copilot to make some images (typed in the lyrics and went through a lot of questions as to ‘what I wanted it to look like’) and used a vid edit program to stitch them together… Happy with the results, especially as none of the people involved had time to be in it 😂.

I'm sure the mods here would be happy to sort that for you. It's just it's not a precision bass either. Is it possible the receipt / purchase order have been mixed up with another bass?

Also pictures of the 'sharp end' front and back would help people here identify it better for you.

Welcome from another Londonite…

Yes, there is a lot of leg pulling here but if you don’t know what you’ve got just say/ask. There are plenty of people who will help.

Maybe someone was practicing their mirror writing and left it in the case?

Just got a Harley Benton EUB! Yay!

Anyone in the Bromley/Orpington/SE London area available to give lessons? Or maybe someone willing to run me through “how I switch from bass guitar without hurting myself” sort of stuff?

It has a bow so I’d love help with how I use that!

Cheers

In the diary…

Ok, not an image and might have been seen before, but this really ‘spoke to me’…

He's in Steps?

Quick shoutout for Ashley & the peeps at Bass Direct!

Had a problem with the lining to a Mono Vertigo I bought 18 mths ago. Not only agreed a replacement after I sent a few photos but sent me a replacement BEFORE expecting the return so I wouldn’t be without it!

Great service 👏👏. Much thanks…

Not funny as such but I thought this was a good place for it….

Pics look fine to me! GLWTS!

With a hammer 🤣

Welcome! I’m sure you will find a lot of peeps here LOVE details 😂.

If we’re asking a mythical figure for unobtainable things can I have a 1959 Jazz Bass?

Mike’s vid has pretty much all of them 🤷‍♀️

Yes, great fun! Thanks to the organisers for all the work! 

You managed to get an electric car in your boot? Wow! But I’d rather see the one you are driving!

Sorry all, yes Whitstable, but it's really no big deal and I can now collect from Nik the following weekend so perhaps let's not make things any more complicated  

Well, I’m near the 1st jcn on the A/M20 inside the M25 and can generally be in ‘whenever’ as I’m retired. Totally understand I’m an ‘unknown extra’ in all this but the offer is there if you feel it helps at all.

Where is it trying to get to? Then maybe whoever is nearest can step in. I’m very happy to help but I’m quite a way from where I think it needs to be!

Thanks, 

 

Was just asking as I'm trying to coordinate delivery of a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo to Chris, aka @Beedster but he's unable to attend on Sunday. 

 

So he and I were just wondering whether anyone more local to him than me (I live in Bedfordshire) might be able to help? 

 

A sort of Basschat 'relay service' as it were... 😁

Well I guess I’m about half way. Prolly have space in the car if it’s any help…
