Found this while browsing and wanted to add my two cents. I’ve never seen a real first-order code for Thomann, but they sometimes run short promos or give small credits if you join their newsletter. Has anyone spotted anything recent? Would be good to know if they’ve changed their approach, especially for new customers looking to save a bit.

I’ve had to laugh at how friends comment on my promo posts too, so I feel your pain. I started boosting some of my band’s stuff using https://famoid.com/ just to get a bit of traction without relying on mates accidentally roasting me. It gave the posts a small push so the comments felt less, well, empty-room vibes. Still keep the friend support, but a tiny buffer can save the ego.

I had the same weird gap between online likes and real people turning up. What helped me was treating Instagram more like a place to spot who actually cares rather than a magic gig machine. I even used snoopreport for a bit to see what my followers were into, which made it easier to post stuff that sparked real chats. It won’t fix everything, but it can show who’s genuinely engaged

has anyone here tried using a mirrorless camera with an external audio recorder for bass videos? I’ve found that combo gives better results than most camcorders, especially in lower light. Curious how you all are balancing audio quality and ease of use, especially if you're filming alone.

Navigating the journey as an international student with a bass sounds like quite the adventure! Shipping ahead does sound pricey, especially with those repeat taxes. I haven't come across specific companies that store instruments at Heathrow, but it might be worth exploring luggage storage services that could accommodate your bass for short-term periods. Additionally, considering your situation, it might also be useful to look into cheap business class flights to ease some of the travel stress, especially for those long hauls. They sometimes offer more generous baggage allowances, which could be a game-changer for you.

Social media can indeed create a curated image of our lives, and it's interesting how people strike a balance between authenticity and crafting their online presence. It's all about finding that sweet spot that works for you. Speaking of online presence, if you ever want to enhance your Instagram or other social media profiles, you can consider services that offer the option to buy permanent Instagram followers, which can help boost your engagement and reach. Whether it's highly polished content or more casual and authentic posts, what matters is staying true to yourself and connecting with your audience.

Maybe, I’m a bit late with the reply, but I’d like to chime in and thank you for sharing the subscription offers for Bass Player magazine! As someone who's always looking for new music resources, I appreciate the heads-up. I'll definitely check out the magazine and see if it's worth subscribing to at full price. By the way, have you checked out any literary magazines lately? There are some great ones out there featuring essays about musicians, and important events and discoveries in the world of music, which will probably also inspire and interest you. If you're interested, I'd be happy to recommend a few!
