Good lord

Ooh. Favourite reggae bassline....that's a great idea. Go along way to beat this https://youtu.be/wNxNwvjzGM0

Played a pub in Swindon last night, very very quiet. Should have got my rig off the floor too. Had all the bass rolled off on both amp and pedal and still the hollow wooden floor was kicking out a ton of bottom end. Problem was finding parking took so long I ended up with no time or space to manoeuvre.

Used my Bugera Veyron T at last night's gig. As ever it sounded absolutely superb.

I have yet to get my Oxford. went on an unplanned spending spree and am crawling towards my next money! The two I have are different from one another so i say go for it.

X ?

If that's what they're called then absolutely

I have the American and the Californian and I've gigged with both as pre-amps. They're very, very good.

How there can be any debate after this video beggars belief. I guess if people have a lot of money and credibility invested in the tonewood myth they feel they have to keep digging. More dignified to admit they've been wrong all along.

Whoops!

When I struggle to get to sleep I distract myself with an alphabetical puzzle. At present I'm trying to go A-Z (or A-Z if you're American) with names of musical acts where the name is preceded by a name and the words 'and the'. Frinstance: A could be Elvis Costello and the Attractions, or Adam and the Ants. B could be Ian Dury and the Blockheads, C might be Kid Creole and the Coconuts. I'm not making a lot of headway beyond G and thought it might be fun to throw it out as a game everyone can play. And you'll be helping me get some kip too.

Annoying ads? Anything I want that costs more than I have in the bank.

The Joyo Ironman range is incredibly robust, very well designed and sound absolutely superb. Being (relatively) inexpensive is anything but a negative where they're concerned.

Well done! I've used him he's very good

Rehearsed my JJ this week, gig it on Saturday. Can't wait.

Any one use Apple software to control the X18? Drummer has an iPhone wondering which app to download

They are.

Blue JJ arrived today. Plays as nicely as the PJ. Looks lovely. I'm really a P pick-up guy at heart, J pups seem a little gutless in comparison, but in a band context they often excel. Anyway another HB triumph.

Not surprised.

Oh God. What have I done

I gigged one regularly - back when I gigged regularly - and it's plenty loud. A fantastic piece of kit.

Not at all! I think it looks fantastic. I won't ever pay that much for a bass, but the shape and colours are great

Hilarious how even experienced musicians believe there is a right and a wrong way to get a bass sound. There is no such thing as the right bass sound. And therefore no right way to achieve it.
