Wait till you are worryingly close to 50...Or just over.

Hey welcome back 

Managed to put some backing tracks in WAV format onto the SD card and they play perfectly well in song sketch however there is no option to to be able to play my bass over the top. 
what am I doing wrong?

Senior moment, just needed to use the line outs. Turning 50 can be such a pig 😝

Cheers Phil

I have a lovey pair of (not coconuts) Genelec 8010 monitors delivered today and my trusty Boss BR800 however I’m struggling to get any sound output. I have some XLR connectors which is all I can use on the Genelecs yet there is no sound coming out. They crackle initially when everything is turned on so I know they are working. What am I doing wrong? My old Rokits had different line in/out connectors and worked fine. 

This is why I have always been a home guitarist. No desire to play in a band at all. 

Thanks peeps. Just what I wanted to hear. 

Thinking of getting a pair of these to plug into my Boss BR800. Are they any good for Bass guitar or too small? They’re not cheap but look good quality. 

Welcome Mark. It’s all good fun getting rid of cobwebs. I have a huge amount of cobwebs to blow away. 

Welcome to the site. I’m similar to you. Turned 50 this year and have now purchased a Fender precision bass to try and scrape back what little I used to know. Someone mentioned Scott’s bass lessons on YouTube. He is very very good but nothing can replace a real teacher so good luck. 

Bernard Edwards and trying to get my head round Jaco but I fear it’s not for me. 

Awful news Jon. Hope it turns up somewhere.

If you are anywhere near Offton, @jonunders has proposed a Bass Bass (a kind of informal gathering where people get together to try out each others gear and shoot-the-stinky poo ) at the Limeburners on 2nd November. I'm assuming this is still on, although the thread has been tidied up a bit.

 

Not far from there so would definitely be up for that.

Hi Rikki,

looking at the Fender pro P bass. 3 tone sunburst with rosewood fingerboard. It was always a toss up between that and the Status S3.

I played a bit of bass around 3 years ago and even had a Status bass made for me though I’m not that good. Really missed bass and now back again and ready to purchase another bass guitar.

seems like a great forum here.
