Hi guys, a friend of mine has recently started an app with the goal of localising 3d printing giving people with printing needs, a cheaper way of getting stuff printed. But, also a way of allowing people with 3d printers to monetise from their set ups. I’ll caveat that with saying I know nothing about printing but have used Toby for various jobs over the years. I also worked with him for about 7 years and have known him for over a decade. He’s a genuinely decent and clever bloke. I'm getting nothing out of sharing this I just think it’s a really good idea. And, as you’re all printers, you might be able to monetise your services a bit from it. Anyway, the link is here if anyone thinks it might be of interest to them … https://3dprintlink.net

Because of the times - Kings of Leon Not an obvious ‘bass in ya face’ type thing but such melodic lines, with really cool rhythmic nuances. I think he’s a seriously underrated rock bass player. And, that and their second album were released at a time in my life that they influenced me deeply and made me want to be a better player!

IMA posted an IG story about this in response to ‘lots of questions about the price’ He stated that it’s due to high quality components and sparing no expense on subtle features, as well as development times etc. Said that the profit margins aren’t massively high in the industry and that it was all justified. Personally think it looks cool and really rate Ian and his content/energy etc… I’m sure there’s A LOT of people that can justify spending this much money on a pedal, or will happily spend it because it has his name on it... Personally I’m not one of those people. Would be interesting to see how how it compares to some of the other previously ‘high end’ equivalents… although this now makes them look like budget options 😅

I’d imagine these will sell like hot cakes if the MXR, Labella & Mike Lull collabs are anything to go by!

I saw this on IG and thought it looked very nice too! If you’re looking for a semi acoustic, i saw this on BD and it looks very nice, and a decent price i think compared to similar I’ve seen for sale in the past. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/italia-maranello-cavo-bass-brown-pre-owned/ -
Sorry for the delayed response on these. Missed them completely. Appreciate the advice, will do some digging!

I’ll be going on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed last year. 🙏

I had a lot of fun playing through this at last nights rehearsal. It’s the first time I’ve been in a room with amps and a drum kit playing rock music for about 8 years! After 5 years of silent stages, in-ear monitors and acoustic guitars. I had completely forgot how flippin’ loud it is 🤣 Still, the trusty ACS just about saved my lug holes. Dusted off the old faithful Jazz Bass which I’ve had since I was 13 and it all sounded blooming marvellous! It’s nice to feel bass again! This was my dream rig for about 10 years, of which I never achieved. I had the head with a 2x10 & 1x15 but could never justify the 8. I still kick myself regularly for shifting my old ABM rig!

I bought an Akai Midi Pad from Alan. Super easy and friendly transaction. Posted quickly, and arrived exactly as planned. Pleasure, thanks 👍 Alex

Yeah I regularly curse myself for missing that one. Just didn’t have the cash at the time. -
I’m looking to essentially ‘pinstripe’ my bass as I really like the look of binding on guitars, and In a bit of homage to Jared Followill old pinstriped T’Birds… Can anyone with experience in panting basses recommend a paint type for this and a brush over gloss. My main worry is it would just rub off where my arm falls. I’ve done a ChatGPT mock up to demonstrate what I’m looking for. But it would just be a single line around the edge of the body/headstock/pickup surround/ pick guard and I wouldn’t be actually binding the neck😅 Thanks Alex

Yeah me too. I think the idea of importing, and them very rarely becoming available 2nd hand has been a big factor in me not getting one. The idea of importing seems daunting and has put me off on the times I’ve come close. -

D’oh, i had managed to forget how much I wanted a Junior Jazz and now he’s reminded me how good they are 😅 I do like this chaps videos! He seems to really break down every element in his reviews 👍
