Debra is one of my all time favourite songs, it's great seeing him do it live

That's the kiddie. Really nice bass to play, B string to die for, and the asymmetric neck was lovely. Unfortunately the Mayones HF Jabba stole my heart

Becks always been an artist I will forget about, then every few years remember exists and will listen to nothing but him for a month before forgetting again. I adore his creativity and his novel approaches to music (e.g. the album he released as sheet music only, so you had to "make" the song yourself). Guess I'm listening to only Beck for a month!

I'm super interested in seeing/hearing some sound clips though

The issue I have with fully flat radius boards is that because I'm so used to having a radius (9") that flat feels almost concave to me. I'm sure I'd get used to it, but I found the AGC Graft at Bass Direct a bit too odd. 20" is about where I feel a board as "flat"

It's not generative AI. Generative AI is what powers things like ChatGPT or Dalle and can be thought of as auto-complete on steroids. Whilst I don't doubt some people are using them to build recommendation engines, recommenders are traditionally using something like collaborative filtering

It's a bit like Amazon's recommendation engine: "Ah I see you bought a new TV. I guess that means you like buying TVs, so now I'm only going to recommend you TVs for the next few months"

The online course option really drove me forward in terms of motivation. Specifically Jaymes Bass Academy because there are monthly challenges that keep me interested and give me something to work on for the month (as well as the courses). Jayme is also reasonably active on the forum giving feedback etc.

I keep meaning to come down to this, hopefully I'll drop in in the next month or so

Yeah, I mean if you've ever been subjected to his videos it's clear they've been pre-recorded (not necessarily a bad thing, but it makes you start to question). When you listen to his bass playing, it's so even and note perfect, I suspect it's been recorded slowed down then sped up to the original track (I refer you to the video I posted on the previous page)

As a current owner of a Sadowsky, the preamp feels special because it boosts in ways that don't feel oppressive. When I boost the treble, the bass sounds sweeter and more modern, but I don't fear it getting "brittle" or harsh. When I boost the bass it just sounds bigger, but not boomy and I don't lose any of the articulation. I just get to decide how forward in the mix I'm going to sound, and it just feels very well thought out frequency response-wise

I feel like I've missed something

Here's what I managed with my L2000 re: Justin Chancellor, best listened to on headphones as I tried to volume match the original bass
