Always good to have the audio to go with the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmurf Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just been checking out Dave's YouTube channel...some good vids on there...on a different note has anyone else noticed that in the latest edition, one of the pics of Ben Kenney (Incubus) was one of the ones they used for Troy Anthunes a few months ago...tsk tsk!

bobpalt Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Really weak article about BassDirect in this months issue. Only seemed to be interested in the Dingwalls, and why did they keep referring to Mark as "Stickley", which I thought was bad manners. The shadow on his photo made him look like he was starting to grow an afro as well! A few captions on the photos wouldnt go amiss, it all just looks thrown together at the last minute in some places. I know its fashion to knock the mag at the moment, and I have loyally subscribed since issue one, but there is less of interest in it every month for me nowadays, so maybe a break is in order.

Machines Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah, it was fairly predictable but I think it was more about letting people know the place exists. Pretty much everyone on this forum knows about it and I expect A LOT have been there - the article wasn't for our benefit really. Some of the time the BGM articles feel a bit behind the times - they're just getting excited about fanned fret systems when they've been available in the UK for quite some time now.

paul_5 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not even looked at it. Haven't renewed my subscription. I'm spending the money on bass books instead, I reckon I'll get more out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichF Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 i have kept my subscription. A big pile of back issues sit in my bathroom where I find most time to read them. This month's was pretty poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Still there's always the Competition to do, you can win an Upright! On a different note, can I be the first to complain about all the Tattoos on view this month? It's like a Hell Angels meeting in there... Still the Fender Black Top Jazz Bass looks interesting although I won't be rushing out to buy the new Bass by well known Queen Bassist Brian May.....

xilddx Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well, it's all over. Oyster House finally closes the door and has gone into administration. But wait! It opens again! Rebranded as Green Chilli Media. Hope the Oyster House creditors get their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I actually joined that forum before I realised that Basschat existed. It was a ghost town. I've recently been recieving spam e-mail from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] None, it was irony as every issue has someone complaining about something! On a positive note, it would appear the new owners will honour exisiting subscriptions, but I have asked them to ensure on all photos of tatooed artists, these are obscured with peel off tape.....

If any subscription gifts are outstanding I'd contact the previous owners, they may have some stuff left over!

Badass Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Anyone got their new copy for this month yet? Seems to be behind, probably due to the changeover? UPDATE: Just been told by the new pulishers that the magazine goes to press today and posted out next week. Subscribers should see the next issue within the next 10 days.
