This was the first video of his I saw, it was amazing to see and hear that all done on the bass like it was. Mark

5 Stings, y'say? Mark

There's loads of songs I'd love to be able to play fully and accurately, but as this is a Party Piece, I'll say either Dragon Attack or The Invisible Man, both by Queen/John Deacon. Mark

All this talk of drummers counting the songs in reminds me of this … Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

Bought a bass from them last year and everything was good. They answered my emails without issues, being in a different country to them everything was done remotely and no issues with the bass upon arrival with me. I'd have no concerns with dealing with them again should the need/want arise. Mark

I don't hate them, but for the life of me I just don't get the Flying-V shape. This might sound odd coming from a POV of someone that really likes Thunderbirds, but the Flying-V I just can't get my head around. I have zero time for this shape of bass/guitar. My mate has a guitar and just … nope. I simply can't be having it. It's like there's this disconnect in my head that whenever I see one I just have to roll my eyes and give a little shake of my head. 😂 Mark

I've been waiting ages to use this. 😂 Mark

It needs to have reverse headstock, so … twin neck then? Mark

208-A20-Z18-BG1-MB-BB-ST5-RS5 ^^ That's my build code ^^ I couldn't grab an image of it so the code above should help, but there's no reverse headstocks so it's a moot point for me (he says, like I could afford one anyway 😂), and at $3349, I'd absolutely want what I want, and what I want is a reversed headstock, and three pickups. Mark

Not short scale but pink and definitely fits your budget, I just saw this Ashdown 'The Grail' in the For Sale section here. Mark

Oohh yes, I'm the same on them as I am with REM too. But this thread was about songs, not artists, so I've refrained from mentioning until now that someone else throws whole artists under the bus. 😂 Mark

If it wasn't for Fb sponsored content I would never have found Larkin Poe, which is now probably my favourite band of recent times. Also got stuff from When Rivers Meet as well, so Fb advertising does work, I guess you just have to make sure you are hitting the right demographics in your targeting. Let us know how it works out for you? Mark

Twin Peaks. Mark

I knew someone was gonna do it. Mark

https://www.samaritans.org That would be … interesting. Mark

This is interesting. At the moment, it's not there as a fully fleshed thing (pardon the pun, as I know we are talking AI here), but I don't think that's really the point, the point is, this could be used as a really good jumping-off point. Have AI create stuff like this, then a human change a few words here or there, add a chorus, change the arrangement a little … it's a lot less bother for some to do that than it would be to create a whole composition from scratch. Just change it enough to be … better (by whatever objective measure you use as 'better'), and you'd never know that AI created this. Someone could easily learn this and pass it off as their own work. And that's what I find interesting about this. Not that I would do it, it's the possibility that this option offers, because you know some will do this, and we'd never really know. Mark

I got my first 5-string bass in the very early '90s (I still have it) I got my second one for Christmas, 2021 (I'm never getting rid of this). I then joined Basschat and I now have 8 of them. This place. *walks away shaking his head* Mark

I always like the "In perfect condition, apart from … " Mark

It takes a whole lot less than that for something bad to happen at your computer if you're running Windows. 😂 Mark

For having a cat in the first place? Mark

Slash has a new album out soon, it's gonna be a blues covers album with one original song on it, and he's released a video for the first single, Killing Floor (YouTube link to video). Album to be titled Orgy of the Damned, and will feature the following tracks, together with other artists performing on them … 1. The Pusher feat. Chris Robinson (Wayne Hoyt Axton) 2. Crossroad Blues feat. Gary Clark Jr (Robert Johnson) 3. Hoochie Coochie Man feat. Billy F. Gibbons (Willie Dixon) 4. Oh Well feat. Chris Stapleton (Peter Green) 5. Key to the Highway feat. Dorothy (Charles Segar, William Broonzy) 6. Awful Dream feat. Iggy Pop (Lightnin' Hopkins, Clarence Lewis, C Morgan Robinson) 7. Born Under a Bad Sign feat. Paul Rodgers (William Bell and Booker T.

Tash Neal, Jenna Bell, Jessie Payo (Stevie Wonder) 11. Stormy Monday feat. Beth Hart (T-Bone Walker) 12. Metal Chestnut (Slash) If that track above is an indication of the overall quality of the album, I think I'm going to like this. Mark

Thank you for saying this. I see here it mentioned quite a lot that this or that bass isn't suitable for this or that type of music and I just think to myself "WTF", because a bass is a bass is a bass and a Thunderbird can be used for country just as a Jazz can be used for doom metal. I've been reticent to speak up on this though until now because it seems to be some sort of perceived wisdom that I've been counter to the notion of. Mark

I was reading about this earlier in the week. Even though I've never seen Del Amitri live, I have a lot of their stuff and I've liked them since I first heard them in the '90s. Loved their songwriting and Justin has been a big part of that. Wishing all the best to him and those around him that will have to deal with this also. Mark
