Just a quick note about the Launchpad, although it is geared towards Ableton, at its heart it is simply a midi controller, as such it can be ‘midi learned’ with any DAW and function. Si // Novation

It will have been, it’s a Skyline, and so would have been single coil jazz pickups originally. Si -
Hi all, Sold pending I ordered this when I really wanted a ‘boutique’ headless 6. Realistically though, I just don’t use it due to being so at home on a simple P-bass. It’s criminal for such a beautiful piece of workmanship to just sit in a bag. I do reserve the right to change my mind though. In any case, this is a 2018 Krell E-Type 6 string headless: - Alder body - Indian cedar top - 3 piece ash, 33” scale set neck - 30” fingerboard radius (Ie not fully flat) - Macassar Ebony f/b, 24 frets - 17mm spacing at bridge, 54mm nut width - Latest version of Alan’s headpiece (very neat and smart!) - 2 ACG RFB Humbuckers - East Uni-Pre (non filter, bass/mid/treble etc) I’ve also replaced its stock Fusion bass gigbag with a Mono Vertigo guitar bag, which it fits in perfectly. All that bass and transport it with the ease of an electric guitar I’ll also throw in a couple of new sets of La Bella Nickel 6 strings. That’s an as new ACG, mint condition, without the 10month wait, with a more appropriate bag and some free strings! Do it I would prefer not to ship, but we can probably figure it out at your expense and whilst accepting written liability. Audio clips *Use decent headphones/speakers in both cases*. The Basschat podcast theme is recorded with this bass, as is the following (which is actually entirely this based other than the drums): Loads more photos here: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0311krelletype6/ Sale only, no trades.

As has been mentioned, the difficulty lies with a lack of any distinct ruling on what happened. That said, we're talking about covers bands, which are usually about providing a service for someones happy event, whilst a lot of people at that event might argue that the music and the man are separate, all it takes is for one or more people to have had a similar experience, for that film or the wider conversation to resonate with them very personally, and suddenly the band looks very insensitive, might even affect potential bookings. Ultimately, it's about timing, would I play an MJ song now? Probably not, it's incredibly fresh in peoples minds. Would I play one in a few months time when it had died down? Possibly. It's nuanced and should be considered on a gig by gig basis I think. Si

One in the FS forum (I have no affiliation): Si

Let me clarify, it is quantifiable when compared with each other, however the worth of that difference is totally subjective. Si
-
This simply speaks to the ‘subjective’ thing. As I said, i’ve had Foderas next to Maruszczyks and the fit and finish is simply better on Foderas, is that worth £7000 extra? Not to you, but to someone it will be, often (not always) based on available funds. Workmanship is not quantifiable, as it’s an art, much like music. Why do some people pay £30 for a bandcamp download that is available for free? Because it’s worth that to them. If you want three basses instead of one, great, you do you. Si
-
A better made bass. But it’s always going be totally subjective, how much that is ‘worth’ can’t be debated objectively. Si
-
I’ve seen and played Marus and Foderas next to each other, I would rather have a Fodera . Each to their own of course. Si
-
I do always like maxing out the options, this (with a leather gigbag) would cost you €4449 Si
-
Arguably that's true of any studio situation......and medium/large gig. Si
-
Difficult isn’t it, do we simply want sales people to give us what we think we want? Or, in the above example (assuming it’s accurate), someone with some knowledge to steer us in the direction we actually want to be in, Ie “I love Zender’s recorded tone, sell me a Warwick”, “oh he played a Precision in the studio”....... Si
-
First ever bass line I learned was a song called 'Frank Sinatra' by the band Cake. Still a favourite Si
-
I suspect there’s much more of the interview/lesson available to the paid membership. Si
-
Sometimes I use it loads, sometimes not at all...depends on the context. Options innit. Si
-
Does anyone relatively close to Hemel Hempstead have a Precision 5 string I might borrow for a couple of days?

Should BCers declare commercial or similar interests?
Sibob replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
Don’t think it’s been mentioned in the thread yet, but TB have a section of their profile setup where you declare any commercial affiliations, which then appear under your avatar. Nice little feature, but obviously works on trust that someone will use it when appropriate. See how one of my posts looks below, I’ve highlighted the feature: Si -
Flatwound strings.. what make/model recomnended?
Sibob replied to Chrisbassboy5's topic in General Discussion
La Bella 760FS for me, all day every day. Si -
So they can easy go between the bass in the video, not have to keep taking it off. Makes sense Si
-
I think it looks fantastic, simplicity and function. The first 50 sold out on their website in like 2 hours or something. Si
-
Lol, you make an exception to give yourself more work? Si

2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
Sibob replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
I’d say so....it’s extreme maintenance?! Lol Plus guitars are silly soooo..... Si -
As many have mentions, 'classic' synth sounds can be achieved with cheap gated fuzz, envelope filter & octave down pedals. Other than that, for a one pedal solution, quite frankly I've not heard better than the Meris Enzo Si

2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
Sibob replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
I think that's what they call a 'binge relapse' 😂 Si -
Oh quite, my mildly flippant remark only works in the ‘lost’ scenario. Si
