Hi,
The other day I found this video on YouTube and watched it in tranches as it's 2h long and afterwards I thought I should share it here since it's definitely worth a watch.
It's a Bass Clinic by Bubby Lewis where he talks about pretty much anything bass related, and more.
Personally, I found him a good laugh and the video is full of interesting things, from conversations about bass strings, to money ernead as a touring musician, passing through funny anecdotes about working with Snoop Dog.

Bought an EHX Signal Pad from Paul and everything was perfect, communication, delivery, pedal, etc.
Thanks Paul! -
He does slap here though (at ~2:30)

at the risk of re-opening this can of worm, I just saw this (still haven't watched it all though) and found it interesting tbh.

PM'd about the Ampeg Opto Comp

+1 for the Laney Digbeth Pre.
I haven't tried dozens of preamps in my life but, I can definitely recommend this.
The tube (simulation) is really really good, warm and well balanced sonically and has its own volume. The FET channel is clear and dynamically rich. The MUTE switch can be used as BYPASS as well. The TILT knob (seesaw lo-pass/hi-pass EQ) is musical and, probably one the most important thing for me, it has a 4-band EQ and the lo-mid have a 3-way switch that set the freq and Q-point (kind of semi-parametric). Also, it has a SEND and a RETURN.
There's a thread here on BC where the pedal is discussed in great detail that contains measurements/graphs and demo-files from BC users.-

In all seriousness though - you're always going to get neck dive on thunderbird bass type shapes. I guess your choices are use a grippy strap or don't take your hand off the neck when playing open notes!
Well, you never know

(And it's good to see they're doing other than the Warwick shapes!) 🙂
Well, that is the Spector shape though
That Warwick started using afterwards

An interesting collaboration between Sly&Robbie and Howie B. The whole album deserves!

That’s a great one Mario, Robbie was so good, one of the best , thank you 🙏
Yeah man, 100%!
There's also another good one on YT of Sly&Robbie playing with Nils Petter Molvaer, Eivind Aarset and Vladislav Delay, it's a Boiler Room video. That is pretty good too, worth checking it out!

Hi ive tempted with one of these Markbass Gloxy basses. Looking for a jazz type bass to noodle on.These seem good.?
Never played one, but I was interested too.
Yes, it is a Fender style instrument, but with its own personality though, not a straight clone.
Price and build quality seem to be pretty good.
Nice that it is active/passive and has 3 band eq.
Here's a nice demo

I bought a pedal from Pete and he has been great. Fast delively and clear communication.
