I shall get right on it. Thank you

Nice one

Thank you - that's a great one. I don't have a clue about the synths used - and I don't really care. But if others enjoy discussing it that's cool.

EHX Micro synth, TCE Chorus, octaver and compressor.

Nice!

I spent a joyful afternoon playing along to Banananananarama's cover of Venus yesterday. Why? I hear you cry. Well I nailed the bass sound and it's a joy to play with that synthy almost percussive sound. So here's my Q to you. What other well known 80s pop hits employed the same, or at least similar, synth for their bass? I want to squeeze a few of them into our Bandeoke set if I can get away with it. I think its a Roland 303 - but to chaps of my vintage a 303 is a rifle so this is pure guesswork. If you don't know any well known ones just hit me with whatever you've got. Ta

One of those strange social club gigs yesterday. They danced if they knew the song. Clapped politely from their seats otherwise. I swear this kind of punter wants a different band each weekend but playing the same set. Anyway, it was good to play and get paid.

This one hasn't been released yet... So there is still hope I might make it to the second week

GAS?

Bought a power supply from @gnasher1993 and it arrived safe and sound precisely as described, well packaged and working as it should. I can't fault this most excellent Basschatter and am delighted to recommend him to the community

I am filled with loathing for the chancers you see on eBay and Facebook advertising HBs for more than the retail price of a new one. People try to blame the victims for not doing proper research before they buy, but blaming the victim is shameful.

Could be... I'm always hoping for something different. But it may be just a new colour. Even if it is, it's a lovely colour.

Not seen one for sale lately 🤷‍♂️

Do you know what? I'm not even sure which band it was. Time it seems does heal. I'm in much better bands now.

😱

I read the opening post, and gazed around my room at basses of every shape, type and size, and I thought; yep he's quite right really. I could lose the lot and lead an entirely fulfilling life as a bassist, with just such an instrument. Sunburst, tort, rosewood, precision. Beautiful.

What will it be? How will I get my car through the MOT?

A pleasure to meet this most excellent Basschatter when I dropped off a multi effect unit to him this evening. The deal went through smoothly, great Comms, no complaints. Happy to recommend @osborne900 to the community

Since learning how to use the EHX synth it's been a revelation. I highly recommend it .

Such a great turnout Mike you are a star. Thank you.

Nice. I should have done the same as I'm gigging down that way tonight. Stupidly I didn't think of it

You'll be in the right place. Some proper bass braniacs will be there
