Ha ha, no, it was my update on the Spanish Inquisition sketch. But, to your point, there are still plenty around.

Sometimes i don't get that London humour and it goes right over my head. Even tho my drummer is a Londoner. 😂

I have taken the brave decision to launch a new print and digital bass magazine for the UK market.

 

I've been publishing magazines in my day job for 27 years and think it's terrible that we don't have a dedicated magazine anymore.

 

We launch the mag officially at the Birmingham Bass & Guitar Show next month where we will have a small stand and giving away a sample issue (while stocks last) - we will then publish quarterly moving forward. Editor is Joel McIver who ran Bass Guitar magazine and then Bass Player so no cheap AI generated content here!

 

Website is here

 

You can subscribe via the website - our socials launch on Monday.

 

If you are at the show next month come and say hello - be nice to put faces to names. The cover of our sample issue is here for your thoughts and comments.

Amazing stuff @Gunsfreddy2003! 👌👏😊

 

So good to see something like this ; genuine, real and dare I say it - 'old school'. 

 

It's exactly what we need to halt the endless flood of intangible, faceless, online 'content we're all drowning in... 

 

Will definitely check it out and support.  👍

Hi all, thanks for the support and kind words about the new magazine. I'm super excited about being on board as editor of The Bassist. Our sample issue, a half-size publication designed to show people what we're doing, will be available on Feb 28 at the Guitar & Bass Show in Solihull -- come and say hi 🙂

 

Feel free to email me with suggestions for the mag at [email protected].

 

Oh, and you read it here first: the cover star of Issue 1 is a big one. Let's just say his name rhymes with, er, 'Teddy Dee' 😉

 

Cheers

 

Joel

I'm taking it a month at a time. Failed in January, so far I'm OK in February.
