    I've been wondering if TC have, more or less, pulled out of the Bass Market as you don't see anything apart from the smaller, cheap, micro head/cab stuff anymore. I'm assuming this is something to do with the Behringer ownership steering them in a differing direction? Either rate - all TC gear I've used has been absolutely superb. My BH550 head has MVP status, from doing 200+ gigs over nearly 8 years and seeing off every head I tried to replace it with! (I assumed that higher end stuff 'must' be better. It wasn't.). Sadly it started getting temperamental recently with volume drops out of the blue, so I replaced it with a Little Mark 4.

    1986 Kubicki Factor Bass, in my favourite colour, Coral Red. Dear lord, why am I too poor.

    "RARE" (nearly always applied to something absolutely, in no way whatsoever, rare). I actually saw yesterday, on Facebook marketplace, a guy describe his standard 2006 Musician Stingray as 'RARE' because he hasn't seen another 2006 Stingray for sale - therefore his must be completely one of a kind. What a world we live in.

    Fwiw, I've had two prangs in cars (neither I was at fault for, both cars written off) and neither time was the subject remotely broached as to where I was going/what I was doing/purpose of travel, with either the police or insurers.

    Really pleased to see Rob back in good health and seemingly not ready to give up. My chances of being able to order a new Kingbass went from 0%, to about 1%. So, it's progress at least.

    I had a quick look at it on mobile and PC. While it looks a bit snazzier, I think it is less clear to use, and seems to mean you flick through a lot more 'pages' to find things, whereas before, everything was laid out in one 'area'.

    I only like Rush from Moving Pictures in 81, to Roll the Bones in 91, the era where they became a lot more accessible. Can't stand the older stuff or the later stuff, so if you've heard that, I get where you're coming from. However, I can't agree RE Geddy. The man is one of the greatest to ever do it, I think he plays with an impeccable sense of rhythm and a tonne of groove, all the while absolutely hammering the living daylights out of his Bass. Imo, He kind of has to play that way in a trio - he's like JPJ on steroids, or Jaco for those of us who hate Jazz!

    Testing out my new Little Mark IV, as my TC BH550 has started to get a little temperamental with volume drops. A very, very smooth and detailed tone. I don't like MB cabs, but their heads are still some of the best in the business (the revised low-end EQ on the LM4 is excellent).

    I don't listen to aggressive music when I want to let off steam. It just makes me even more mad. I will listen to 'Don't Worry Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin if I need a sense of perspective.

    Hi all! Here we have my very recently acquired 2002 Musicman Stingray in a not oft seen 'Translucent Purple' finish. Allegedly only 50 made in this colour. Maple Neck. Ash body. 3-band electronics. Just strung up with DR Pure Blues. Really disappointed to be selling this as it looks fabulous, sounds even better and is in excellent condition (bar a scratch which the previous owner put on the back, from allegedly trying to open the battery compartment with a screwdriver 😳. However, it was advertised as being 3.5kg in weight and when I got it home, it's 4.6kg (to be fair, a ballpark figure for most of them, pre-specials) - having a severely damaged shoulder, this was not good news. I thought I'd try it out at practice last night just to see, but after an hour my shoulder just flat out gave up - so it has to go, sadly. All in perfect working order with the Musicman hardcase (also in super condition). Also comes with a mirror scratch plate if that's your bag. Located in Moreton in Marsh on the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border. *Will not post* however, as previous deals will attest to, I'm happy to drive more or less anywhere for a handover, as long as you're not at the extremities of the country. It owes me £1100, so this is what I have it up for. Would consider trades for one of the following (and they HAVE to be sub 4kg examples and in good condition) ; Warwick Thumb BO4 and cash my way Warwick Streamer LX5 Warwick Corvette 4/5 + cash my way. Thank you for looking!

    Is DI (dog interest) pre or post dinner?

    Normally two small bottles of beer. One before to loosen me up, and one in the break between sets. No more - no less.

    Sold Bill my Ibanez EHB. Thoroughly top bloke - very easy to deal with - a gentleman personified. Affable, friendly (even after I made him wait an extra 30 mins or so due to an unforeseen pitstop en-route). Cheers Bill - Hope you enjoy!

    I used one of these in a rehearsal room a few times, and honestly, I agree. It was a very, very good sounding head. With lots of clean headroom and quite a clear bottom end (oo-er!).

    And indeed they have - no fuss! I just can't believe how a single packet of strings could be so 'wrong'! 🤣

    I recently purchased some DR Fatbeams from Amazon (through DR's Amazon store) and also dispatched by Amazon, so the real thing. Opened the set up today 2-3 weeks later, and not only was the A-String completely and utterly dead (to the point it didn't even sound like a bass string at all) but they packaged two G strings instead of a D (so, E-A-G-G). Absolutely woeful QC - I've never had a bad string in 20 years until today! When it rains, it pours!

    Just the video. Wal on record.

    Good lord above. 😰

    Rather weirdly, the Ray is only used for the slapping parts/verses. All the fingerstyle sections of that song are an Alembic Epic (including the solo). He used both basses to record that track!

    This. I've tried to buy 2 basses this year where the seller just wasn't bothered about actually selling the bass. My reasoning was these ads must exist to placate the other half.

    The one I saw in PMT looked like 2nd from left, colour-wise.

    Hello Josh, What's the weight on this one?
