You mean I'm not going to make it

Very good news @Telebass, inveterate tinkering is part and parcel of bassmanship after all

That made me smile mate 👍

Dodgy gear is just part and parcel of the eBay experience now, which is why I rarely buy or sell there. A very sad repercussion of the proliferation of the sale of used items on the net is that on the whole, and BC excepted, I choose to buy new these days, even 'reliable' retailers can no longer be trusted to sell authentic used gear

Yes, and certainly if I had more time I'd be doing it myself. But this project has been pulled forwards at short notice and I need to have a track in place pretty quickly at relatively low cost. I'm going to have a good look at the sites in link @Paolo85 sent as I suspect the solution is going to be found in there somewhere 👍

Great, many thanks @Paolo85

Fat Bottomed Girls would certainly be an interesting option

Thanks but I have a very clear idea of genre and style (retro 60s/70s funk/soul instrumental) 👍

Anyone have any suggestions re this?

All joking aside, it would be useful to be able to quote some ballpark costs for using a commercially available track to my colleagues and to the client in question, it will make it whole lot easier to justify recording our own. Anyone done a one off through PRS?

Interesting stepping into this space, I assumed it would be pretty simple but my God......... EZ: check Bass: check Keys: check Off to the studio for a couple of days

My god they still work by phone! Suspect it might be quicker to record something after all 🤔

Folks, I've been asked to produce essentially a video podcast from an interview I've already recorded but for various reasons I'm going to need some background music. I'd normally record a simple instrumental track but this needs to be done PDQ and I'm up against it anyway so will need to use commercially available track (I'm looking at a track from the Oceans 11 soundtrack at present that fits the bill). How do I go about doing this legally?

You're gonna need seven DBs Jack

Bizarre, lovely looking Lakland FL in Bass Direct email but why would the email link to Facebook?

I dread to think what you might have started though, there are members here that are prone to a little thread proliferation after all...... It's 1986.... It's 1987.... It's 1988....

Ha Ha, nice one, I saw that @Dad3353 had responded and thought 'This ain't gonna be Jason & Kylie

Ah yes, Unforgettable Fire was on mine also 👍

Ah, I'd forgotten A Secret Wish, I loved the album and loved the remixes even more (In which Duel became Jewelled). Seew,s so dated now but vert powerfully produced 👍

The The: Soul Mining

That's the reality from the POV of many sellers of used gear, a lot of people either don't notice faults or don't worry about faults. I'm not one of those people
