Hmmm, a more cynical man than myself might take the above list as an indicator that I‘ll be done with chocolate before you‘re done with G.A.S. May I assure that I‘ll never be done with chocolate.

This T-Shirt from that nice bloke at Bass the World (Gregor Fris) always tickles me. I’ve considered asking for it for Christmas.

Hi All, I want to connect my Apogge JAM, to my Mac. It's the older version with the Chirose output. According to the apogge website, I can buy Chirose to USB on Amazon in the US, but there's no sign of it on Amazon here in Germany. They only supply cables for the newer models which have a different output. I do have a chirose to lightning cable, but all the lightning to usb adapters I can see (except for the Apple for €35,- .. of course) don't do data transfer. Anyone here have experience/wisdom with this...? Cheers, Paul

I‘m really interested to hear how these are. I tried similar looking ones from Amazon a while back, but they compressed the hell out of the signal, so I sent them back. These are the ones I sent back… https://amzn.eu/d/5agirYI

Their B-Stock gear has the same guarantee as new stuff and I‘ve never had any issues with B-Stock equipment BUT… as SamIAm says, larger packages (basses/guitars etc.) are ostensibly delivered „to corner shop“ DHL outlets. I had terrible trouble locating a bass, when DHL insisted that it was delivered to one such outlet. The shop in question was tiny and they were quite clear that they simply couldn’t (and weren’t obliged to) take delivery of anything that big.

Now, some people may construe this as political.... I couldn't possibly say. It is, however, bass related.

No worries, thanks for responding 👍

Hi Breadbin, I know this is from a good way back (April 24th, this year), but you mentioned also having "one of these". Do you happen to know if this is, indeed, an SB-303? I wasn't sure if my observation was correct. I struggle with telling all the different models of SGC nanyo apart. Many thanks again for all your help, Paul.

I see. And, string winding?

Lads, lads, laaads, you’re all missing the point. It‘s a bass player, of course they‘re invisible.

Hi All, I stumbled across this on YouTube. Regardless of people's opinions on slap bass, I just really enjoyed the warmth and genuine enthusiasm with which he addresses the players, especially the young lad who's only been playing for a few years.

Hi All, a brief story of good service from Thomann. After much hemming and hawing, I finally pulled the trigger and bought an Origin Effects Cali76 Comp. Bass Compressor back in early April. Then, in mid May (37 days later and clearly outside the 30 day return period) I saw that the Origin Effects Cali76 V2 Bass Compressor had been released, with some significant improvements but the same price. I wrote to Thomann and said “I know you guys aren’t obliged to, but given the unfortunate timing, would you consider exchanging the units for me?” An hour later, I had the returns document and they gave me a credit note allowing me to purchase the new unit. Result! I am well pleased with their customer service.

I don't believe in emojis, so "embarrassed face". I know what you mean - I even thought about that while writing my comment. It just "felt" less like a cut/boost in bass frequencies and more like a volume change. Which, as you pointed out, amounts to the same thing on a bass. (Walks away with hands in pockets whistling away my red face). Thanks again for your help... and your patience.
