RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Annoying! I have a maschine mini purchased ages ago . Also launchpad app with packs that I paid for . Wondering if the apps will be eventually deleted . Will Inmusic buy them ??

I almost forgot about this thread .. Fwiw about 20 years ago I purchased a Schecter stiletto elite 5 . Never played a 5’er before and bought it on impulse in Sound Control. It was a great bass , but seeing as I was gigging at the time on 4 strings I stupidly sold it a few years later ! That bass and Schecter in particular seem to have a good reputation, and you’d probably get one either new or used for the price you want. I prefer headless though and if I was going to try a 5’er again I’d probably go for the cort space 5 for the price .

Have you condemned both parties on all social media outlets ( Trustpilot,farcebook, X etc ) ?? If not I’d do that asap !

There is a modest , underrated and highly talented bass maestro who is revered and lauded on Basschat ..Danny Sapko. Worth checking out . Davie 504 is better entertainment though imho ..” check mate ! “ Lots of headless basses with varying designs and quality control issues ( cort space 5 , Ibanez EHB etc )

Mmmm…Headed or Headless ? ‘All right now ‘ or ‘Reign in blood ?’ Slap , pick , fingers or all ?🤔🙂

I have it somewhere. Can’t remember if it’s blu ray or not . Could it be a regional issue ??

I like that ..but not in sunburst ! If it were about £800 max and in yellow , orange or green I’d have to track one down . I remember roughly around 15-20 years ago this design and the cheese bass / guitars were mentioned in a bass guitar magazine . Inflation and rarity has pushed the price up somewhat .

I have experience of the Boss SP404sx , SP404 mk2 and an older kaossilator . These are really for home use into a computer imho , or clubbing DJ’s FWIW, I started off on the Boss SP202 which I still have . Love it for its direct simplicity . I then purchased SP404sx which is still easy to use and has lots of great effects , plus loads of sample time . Still looking for original 1 gb boss sound card . I then purchased the SP 404 mk 2 ..and haven’t used it ! Only to update it last April ! It’s too much for me , but is fantastic if you have patience and enjoy menu diving ! Boss give free software updates on the 4/4 annually. I should really give it ago as it has usbc , works with iPad and pairs with the iPad koala app ! As for the older kaossilator , I won it in a bid on eBay ! No power , and seller soon had it returned ! It looked cheaper , and felt cheap and nasty and left me disappointed . Well it would have done , but luckily I dodged a bullet and got refunded in full . Cheap plastic rubbish

This popped up on my YouTube feed yesterday . I don’t know who the bass player is doing the demos . She has a lot of knowledge,while going through many basses . I immediately thought of the ME-50 B which hasn’t really been out that long . Similar price too it seems . As a person who practices at home these days and records stuff on GarageBand, this seems good . I don’t know how fiddly this would be to use in terms of menu diving etc. The ME50b is more bulky ( downside ) but seems straightforward otherwise . It looks like the GX-1B would be usb powered like the zoom B3 unlike the ME50 B which needs to be run on batteries or 9v power supply . Does the GX1 B have a looper ? It’s good that both of the units mentioned can be controlled by the Boss apps if that floats . I don’t think I’d bother though as it means more menu diving .

Speaking of basses tuned BEAD , some of you may have noticed Warwick Taranis Bass tuned this way from the factory . I saw the YouTube review by Jonny Dribble ,who thought it was overproduced for what it was . Trouble with the Chinese Warwick’s is that they never seem to be in stock for some reason. Speaking of 5 strings , I’m torn between getting one to complete the collection …or just forget about it due to my BEAD Warwick 🤔

Nice screenshot…multilingual too ! 😼

Good shout ! I have this setting on my Warwick corvette . Had it done a couple of months ago, and wondered why I didn’t do this much sooner!

Metallica and justice for all ! Well not really … I’m still contemplating ! Then I’ll probably change my mind a few times

I’m probably minority here but apart from the white one mentioned , they don’t do anything for me .More knobs than the Houses of Parliament. Is there really any need for them ?? Doubtful if the punters at the dog and duck would notice much difference tbh

That is very sad 😂 I assume the doors light my fire ,Alice cooper schools out/ elected ,Aerosmith dream on , Thin Lizzy whisky in the jar etc are in there somewhere. So, Paul Ross’s Mac Donald’s cheeseburgers ..still advertised every 10 mins ?

I saw Johnny Dibble reviewing the HZ on YouTube. I asked him what he thought was best out of that and the cort space 5 He said that the feel of the Cort was better feel wise ,but the sound of the HZ was better than the Cort. It’s great that headless basses are becoming more popular at last . However it does seem that there doesn’t seem to be one that covers everything up to the £1,500 mark. I stand to be corrected of course ,but it seems that people are not happy with the Ibanez EHB pickups ,the pick guards of the Hils or the pickups on the space 5 etc The quality control of all those basses seem to be criticised too . Maybe with persistence from those companies and others something really good may emerge within the next couple of years .

I stopped listening to that station in covid times 😷. I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘White Rabbit ‘ is in there , which is as dull as the prime minister 🤢🤮 Does Paul Ross still advertise Mac Donald’s cheeseburgers 🍔 ??

The bass player playing many ghost notes . So many it seems that I can’t see them… Good for a laugh
