Back in my day.... I started at 15 with a book (accompanying CD was missing) and not even a tuner. The book was full of tunes I'd never heard of and it was really slow going. What got me really learning was getting tabs for my favourite songs, finding the easier ones and playing them constantly. Then reading shed loads of bass player interviews and absorbing information from there. Having you in the house as someone who already plays will help start with some pace unlike my months of de-tuned plodding.

Absolutely none. Also, this has now sold. I couldn't find it to update this, apologies. -
Fender USA Jazz in Miami Blue

I need to add, I am very impressed with the results after just a couple of minutes of giving what are probably quite crap instructions

The band I am in is The Desert Penguins. I used some free app to create the first attached image. I specifically asked for a black scratch plate on the Strat.... I then tried to get some images just for me. AI does not yet fully understand the concept of left handedness, and when it does it doesn't get 1957 black P bass, with black scratch plate and chrome pickup cover.

Following the playlist, fantastic to put some sounds to names/ pictures 😎

I definitely think there are some that I will "miss". I've got two Darkglass pedals that are absolutely phenomenal, for instance. But, there are two things colliding: the need for simplicity and frankly the need for cash. I will, though, do a proper video review thingy with it because as was said earlier these product demos just scrape the surface. Of course, none of them ever say "hmmm, that sounds sh!t" on the synths for example! But, it does look like you could do a better version by combining chorus, Octave and fuzz... So we will see! Mine won't arrive until some point in July.

Ooops!

Just in case... This is the best review I've seen so far.

If that was on quotation marks with Unknown as the source...

I hear you. One of the guitarists and me are very similar in terms of how we strive for better gear and different sounds all the time. But while I'm sure I can hear and feel the difference with separate pedals over good quality digital multi effects I need to simplify and work within the limitations of my gear instead of chasing something I won't reach.
-
I'm done with separate pedals... Thing is I've spent so much time, effort and money building up a pedalboard I was 90% happy with... Oh well, every day is a school day

I've only gone and ordered one 🫡

The MXR DI is a great pedal, excellent choice! I can't speak highly enough of my Darkglass Duality Fuzz. I absolutely love it. I have the older version with more dials and the flexibility on it is excellent for whether you want buzz-saw rough rock bass fuzz or a softer and more modern sounding fuzz to go with other effects to make a synth type sound.

I'm @rr_on_bass if anyone is interested in photos of left handed basses.

BC price £625 I am about to move house and have had to make some tough decisions on my music gear to raise funds. None tougher than this. I love this bass, I don't think they will ever make them for lefties again. It took me months to source the proper hard case and that wasn't cheap. Here it is, up for sale. My lefty Epiphone Jack Casady. With Maruszczyk flats. It sounds incredible, I've only giggled it a few times unfortunately, but the condition is superb. Feel free to make a sensible offer. I also have a leather/ suede strap for it too, also listed for sale. I really, really don't want to sell it. But apparently things like a fridge and a washing machine are more important? Collection preferred. Courier at cost is possible.- 1 reply

Very nice soft, brown, leather/ suede Epiphone guitar/ bass strap. Will add photos soon. Cost me £50 new last year. Hardly used at all, ready for a new home. -
Stingray 5 Scratchplate ideas - need some creative input!

Clear perspex, circuit board showing... Find some way to get an LED in there to light it up. A guitarist I played with for a while had this on his strat, looked quite cool. -
£125 posted or £120 collected. Price updated in line with recent second hand sales. Boxed with all the bits. Great quality wireless system with pedalboard mountable charging/ dock station. Absolutely excellent bit of kit. I've used it for about a year and a half now. It's been well looked after, always in a protective pedalboard case. Only reason for selling is because I'm going back to multi FX so I'll be replacing this with the slightly less brilliant WL-20.

There's a music rental place in North London clearing out good, old school heavy cabs on eBay very cheap. Fender 6x10, Genz Benz 4x10s... I've been so tempted but just cannot justify it.

Price drop -
Might sound a bit daft but it could be the angle you're holding the bass at.... Try standing up with it hanging on a strap in a natural playing position. If you're tilting the bass various ways while you play to see where the buzz is coming from it can come and go. What's important is whether it buzzes when in a natural playing position. If it's new, and I know Jet has a good reputation but they are more towards the budget end, it possibly hasn't had the best set up out of the factory so it may need a proper set up. You can either do this yourself (watch loads of YouTube videos, Google, use this forum) or if you're not confident it find a local BC'er who may be kind enough to help

Well, you've all persuaded me. Will be ordering tomorrow. Has anyone got any kind of hard case for theirs?
-
Would have to be to spend so much time with Lars.

£70 posted or £65 collected. Boxed and ready to go. Very good condition. Bought off BC earlier this year. It gets used for the middle 8 of one song. Except last gig where I forgot to use it, d'oh! House move coming up, non essential gear being sold off, sadly.
