99ster Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well I'm pretty impressed so far - in many ways seems much better than either 'Bass Player' or 'BGM'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Got one thanks - just signed up. It's easy. Content looks really good. If they'd post it to the UK, I'd probably pay to subscribe. Reading it on a screen is ok, but you can't beat sitting on the sofa with a proper mag and a big cup of strong, milky tea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem right not having something to read, does it?? That aside this is a great online mag and would be well worth subscribing too if it were in print, some great features and articles.

For throne reading I suppose we shall all have to invest in eReaders eventually and d/l content. We seem to have ended up with a small library in our "smallest room" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to confirm that we do offer international shipping on print subscriptions ($50/year). While I am happy about being able to offer the digital version for free, I am even more excited about the print version. It will be of very high quality, and the paper is a much better grade than what is typically used on most magazines. The print editions mail out next Wednesday (August 20th), but any paid subscriptions processed before issue #2 comes out (first of October) will still start with issue #1. Thanks for the kind words! This being our first effort, we hope to improve with age, so we will keep an eye out for any suggestions you might offer as to how to make Bass Gear Magazine better. Take care, Tom.

JimBobTTD Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is pretty much "Guitar Buyer" for bass, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I am not familiar with Guitar Buyer, so it is possible that by random coincidence, we are similar publications. Does anyone have a link to Guitar Buyer? Tom.

JimBobTTD Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Guitar Buyer is a UK publication which deals with gear and not much else. Recently they have interviews too, but they are few and far between and the focus is on gear (mostly guitar - precious little bass). It's a great magazine - I've been looking for a similar bass version. No link - I don't think they have a website. They are an MB Media mag, if that helps.
