LOL.I just registered for this site.I ordered the magazine £1.69 as stated.I opted to pay via Paypal.When I reached checkout,I nearly had a minor accident in my pants! Why?? " Amount due - £16,900,000.00" It may be a good mag,but there's no way it's worth nearly 17 million.I MAY try again!

On reflection,I wonder how I would have fared if I had clicked 'Pay Now' without thinking.Would it have emptied my bank account? Not that I have £17 million,you understand,but My Paypal is directly linked to my bank account.Jeez!

Personally, I would want a bass mag the same as how I would like a TV car show. The criticism that Top Gear has come under is that it hardly reviews cars that everyday people can afford or want and only focus on the extreme supercars. Long gone has the motoring magazing show which a lot of people miss. So when I am looking at buying a car or trying to find details, I have to look over old Top Gear clips or reviews on the internet for cars like Meganes, Pug 207's, Alfa 156's etc. So I think its important that a bass mag not only covers the more unusual boutique basses but also touches on the stuff that people use everyday like Fenders and Squires. You can certainly see more people asking on the forum about pre Korean Warwick Corvettes, Squires, Fenders etc than the high end boutique basses. I just think its important to not miss out on your Ford Focus drivers as well as keeping your Ferrari Enzo drivers happy also :)

Got me thinking you could take a lot from the Top Gear format - Star on a Reasonably Priced Bass anyone? :)

The system in the background is working correctly while the data is displayed incorrectly..so your millions are safe!

We think we've located the problem. If you're able to try again it should now be fixed.

That would be quite fun actually. Fifteen minutes talking about what they have been up to, their first bass and other basses etc followed by one of their famous bass lines played on a cheap nasty bass to see how it fairs. Could be quite fun :)

An interview with a regular Joe bass player - who nobody knows, but plays the pubs and clubs on a regular basis. All about what it is like to be a regular bass player.

I like that idea. It would be interesting to hear from busy bassists who play regular gigs... it would be easy to relate to and tips and stories could be interesting.

From that post above, this seems easily worth the (Quite small i would say) sum of £1.69 a month. I'll definately be subscribing come payday, as right now i don't even have £1.69 to my name.
