2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
TorturedSaints replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
Funnily enough, I was thinking of selling mine . . . although it doesn't have the snazzy Eden bag. Enjoy! -
Sorry to hear that yours has got worse so quickly. I was the OP and was feeling a bit worried about it when I posted. Thankfully mine hasn't progressed at all and is still just a thickening in the palm of the hand, which isn't causing any problems for the moment. Other than sending good wishes, I can't add much to the discussion.

2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
TorturedSaints replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
Same for me. Although it will be interesting to see what happens when the Barefaced Bass Amp is released 😉 -
Listening now. It's a lovely bass tone. Is the recording engineer who recorded the bass/guitars the (ex-IQ) drummer Andy Edwards or is it a different one? As previous posters have commented, there's something good about female Welsh vocalists - Magenta is one of my current faves as well. Anyway, a thoroughly recommended listen. Some nice modern Rush references too. I hate to mention it but surely track 3 should be titled "The Kings Are Dead" as the extra apostrophe makes it a meaningless lyric. Sorry to be a pedant.

PayPal worked fine for me. Looking forward to it.

February Composition Challenge--VOTING TIME
TorturedSaints replied to lurksalot's topic in General Discussion
Voted. Good job all. Get well soon Doug! -
Another vote for ACG. I have a lovely J-type 5 string (which was originally built for someone else). ACG J-type 5 Different enough to be different, but not too extreme looking or sounding. If you want something a bit more non-traditional look at the Recurve or Krell basses Alan does.

I'm still in . . . unsubscribed from emails/FB groups etc. I was so tempted with an AGC on sale here (which has thankfully sold to someone else), but actually I think I've substituted boat refurbishment GAS for bass GAS. -

Glad I signed up to this - there's a bass for sale on here that I would have had in a heartbeat . . . but I don't actually 'need' another bass and I do need money for other non-bass related rabbit holes. -

I'm in. Tier 1 and Tier 2. No bass related stuff for Christmas (that's a first) - but then, I don't play in a band anymore. I don't need any more music production software as I haven't done any recording for a while. -

I think I could be up for this. However, is it ok to sell stuff (without replacing it)? -
Geddy's Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass
TorturedSaints replied to spongebob's topic in General Discussion
I've just checked, coming Thursday! -
I have the M1000 (and an M2000 too which I think has the same drivers, just open backed). I use the M1000 plugged into my Aria Sinsonido travel bass (which has a built-in preamp) and it copes with the low notes very well.
-
Thanks! Also available from Time + Space if you've got loyalty points to use up, but without the expansion pack. I also bought Izotope Neutron (standard edition) for a third of the price of the upgrade options from Alloy or other software.

I picked up an Aria Sinsonido travel bass to take away with me. Probably not to everyone's taste but stows away small. Not particularly cheap new, but I got mine for about £120. Mine lives in a rifle bag and has the rucksack straps on you would need to cycle to rehearsal. It's probably most suited to acoustic-sounding gigs because of the piezo pickup. Or there's always a Wing Bass - depends on the budget, and Alan at ACG is currently doing some very small/short basses to order.

Are you sure you don't write for Private Eye? If not, a whole new career beckons . . 🙂 Ralph

Wow. Seriously just wow. Only bass I have ever sold was my Shine SB24 PJ (and wish I'd never sold it). Amps I have sold Laney Richter RB3 and GK MB500. Cabs I have sold Warwick WCA410 and Peavey 410TVX. I really must try harder!

Yes, you're probably right. Just not to me! 😀

Geddy Lee of Rush is probably the most well known lead vocalist bass player. I'm sure there are others though, they just don't come to mind as easily.

I think I'm on a winner then - I pre-ordered and paid for it in February for £18.59 from Amazon. I'm pretty sure they have to honour the price! -
This is one of my favourites:

There's a formula relating length of pipe, frequency of sound and speed of sound and harmonic required. (Speed of wave = frequency times wavelength in consistent units for fundamental). This page gives you a link to instructions on how to build one! https://drumsoul.wordpress.com/2016/12/28/how-to-build-a-blue-man-group-pvc-tubulum-cigar-box-nation/ I love the Blue Man Group, would love to see them live.
