For someone like myself who is marginally dyslexic it does matter, a lot. I have taught myself to recognise word, letter and punctuation patterns which helps me to be able to read and understand what has been written.

Sorry BigRed I did not mean it like that, however I also did not think of of that, so my bad. I was thinking more of International members, trying to remove the offence rather than add one.

Clarity is important in all communications, be them websites, email or WhatsApp etc.

The first part of my post was correct and useful. The second part and Your reply should be used to educate us all.

I don't usually post on here very often because of all the arguments and occasional offensiveness. I really did not mean to offend anyone, least of all Your good-self.

This is a concern for me as well.

As previously stated, I use an iPod, and the free space on it is rapidly diminishing. The iPod is well over 10 years old now, and the screen is starting to fail, so what I plan on doing the next time I upgrade my phone - probably around the end of next year - use the old one as a music player only, which should work as it's has considerably greater storage space than the iPod does so should last me as long as the screen is functional.

 

This works fine at the moment. But you may need to keep an older OS on your computer as with each upgrade Apple seems to be making this harder to do. That is one of the many problems with Apple Music

Is CD’s a contraction of compact discs, meaning the apostrophe is valid? A little like doesn’t.

CDs can be a multiple of CD, CD's would be used as in "Where is the CD's case" the Case belongs to the CD.

But this is just the internet so it doesn't really matter.

To second language folks it is pointless really.

Apple music, when I tried that, was horribly buggy and for some reason wouldn't sync to all my devices. Their usual troubleshooting steps (reboot, reboot everything else, wipe data and restore, wipe and don't restore) were of no use.

I've found this Apple Music is really bad & at the best "flakey" . Looking at the Hard Drive type devices mentioned here need to research & think what will be best.

Maybe he should branch out into shoes for bass players. Built in metronome and tuner & sub so you can feel the bass. 

 

Stan has got a pair with an Alembic attached !

ebay seller LINKY in states with stock....

they appear like a lot of recent stuff to accept  input voltage of 100V-250V without any specific differences, no voltage selection, nor different fusing

Be careful You get no warranty (if it goes wrong You are Screwed) & by the time You add Tax n Duty works out expensive. I got stung on a new Eden (That went wrong!!)

I have owned both a Jaydee and a Wal. I preferred the Jaydee

No disrespect meant to the folks who own and love them, But I could never understand  why Wals fetch such high prices compared to Jaydee & others!

Yeah, The Fall had a few line-ups with two bassists. Shame they left the interpretive dance out in later years

The amount of bassists & the Dancers seemed to change over the Years. But Marks Job Spec for Keyboard Player always seemed consistent LOL 😂

Even if the singist could sing in tune, alarm bells would be ringing for me if the singard and guitard were an item. 1st rule of band survival: NEVER join a group with a band couple! Haven't you seen Spinal Tap??? 

Actually Yeah been in this situation where there was a couple (in a band) & it all went pear shaped after the drummer & the girl had a fling!

Probably worse than the singing ability situation.

If She is inexperienced She may not yet of learned to ask for a slight key change to accommodate Her range. But yeah if You haven't time for Her to develop walk away.  

No Bass -- But stick Your guitar in DADGAD & Jam like Jimmy!!!

Nope, a different one but the same model. The JP1 is terrific and I miss my old one. I’m curious as to how the neck-through 6P compares. 

Would be nice to get some feedback on the comparison when You have time Cairobill

There is genuinely a hint of '6+ string player' prejudice in this place! Who gives a monkey about how many strings we play... Person A wants a 1 string bass, cool. Person B wants a 10 string bass, cool. I just don't understand for a second why anyone would think anything negative about a person for playing something slightly different to them. It does genuinely make me wonder what other things in these peoples lives that they take issue with just because there's a 'difference'... The world is not grey, we are all different, enjoy what you do and allow others to enjoy what they do.

Amen to This. Enjoy Your lovely Yamaha DiMarco, don't listen to the detractors & bass police they can do what they want.

Has anyone had any experience with the Ida NIelsen 4, I don’t normally like gold hardware but it looks ok on this, it’s a great looking bass 

I've got one, it is fantastic. I would say it is now My go to bass (And I have some nice Status, G&L, Fender, JD etc.)

It looks great, Sounds great (Active or Passive), plays great & is nice and light.

One thing that was good in Lunnon was this place, it had the most amazing collection of reggae and dub, lots of it was straight from the studios in Jamaica, and imports, I spent all day on Saturdays in there 🙂

I didn't get to that their Lunnon that early on (looks 70's ?). Found a place in the late 80's selling cool records, that I think was upstairs at the Africa centre Covent Garden? I loved the whole centre!!  But when I went back years later it was a trendy fashion shop!! 🙁

I was there regularly, it was known as the WAG club 

You are a "trendy  Lunnon(a)" (copyright taunton-hobbit) and I claim My £5 LOL

For a period In the 80's John Boops song were all the rage -- John Peel  used to play a load with some response songs from Female artists but I can't remember what any of those ones were?
