Ooh a ‘New York’ bass player no less! We are not worthy! Just opinion dressed up as fact imo. How do you know when an American is from New York? They’ll tell you!

Depends on the mobile. Some don’t support ad blocking. You should all add us to your whitelist anyway

I found having an amp around the house was a bit depressing - it takes up a lot of room and is completely a reminder of the gigs you used to play and often they can lose money much faster than an instrument can. I also don't like playing amps at home; they shake items in the room and everyone can hear you (probably even next door) so I cannot concentrate! So my advice is sell the amp, invest some time in deciding which bass to keep or have a bit of a cleanse and buy one great bass, then spend some of the money you've made on a really good home headphone based setup (my advice would be something like a Helix and a bassboard) - that way you can still play at home yourself in total bliss, along with music or whatever. It's a bit of an escape. And try not to over-analyse it; sometimes I don't play bass for weeks, but I still have a certain satisfaction that I love my gear and enjoy reading about gear etc online. Often the groove takes me when I least expect it, normally when I should be hoovering or something, and when you don't feel like you're forcing it, it's a great feeling. If you still miss being in a band, why not try some of the online collaboration sites where you can download tracks that need bass and send them back? Personally I get my kicks from playing along with music that I stumble across and spend hours jamming to them. When it comes to seeing things, it's far too easy to attach sentimentality to stuff which really are just objects. I recently sold a few watches that were totally blown away by a random punt on eBay for a watch about a tenth of the price of my most expensive. For a while I couldn't sell them because I thought 'but I wore that here' or 'I bought this then' but why should that not just be a nice memory? Who will benefit from me keeping it and telling them about it later? Nobody. I am very much a 'one item' person; rather than having a collection of watches or basses I tend to prefer to have one, which is 'me'. Obviously when it comes to bases that can mean one four, one five, one fretless, one half scale, one white, one black, one with single coils, one with humbuckers... Also echo Fozza's comment above - there's nothing wrong with tasing and chatting about basses even if you haven't played in a while. So stick around

I have updated the thread title so hopefully a few others will avoid problems.

Yes or at the bar (down the road)

Everything wireless with no power needed 😂

Sorry it’s been a busy week!

I’d have to check the boobs first.

https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/nordymute Havent tried one yet but used and loved a Bassmute previously. No room for one on my current bass though. So these look interesting. Reckon I could make some though easily. Stuck some foam to some wood and cut slots for the strings...

Hi mate. They should be better configured now to appear as they used to. We’ll spend more time perfecting them over the coming days. We’ve actually been using Adsense for years but recently had to change the account stuff hence the weirdness earlier. A pop up blocker will certainly remove them and hide the ads but lose us revenue. They aren’t a main funding source for us (hence the decision to charge for sale ads instead) so you can use one if you prefer, especially if you have a sub already there’s no need to feel bad Now we’re up to date with it we will start to config them so maybe users with a sub will see no ads and guests see more etc but we’ll see what’s possible. Thanks ped

Let’s hope you don’t find out the hard way during your date!

Aye the FTP went ages ago. I may have it somewhere!

Sorry our fault, we were waiting for Google to update something and I had an email from them this morning - I didn't realise by default they give you 'auto ads' all over the bloody place. We're configuring them to be as they were before at the moment.

My fault - we had to do some configuring of Google Adsense yesterday and haven't had a chance to 'optimise' it yet. Google of course give you the full beans as soon as they can until you tell them otherwise so we'll fix it later today.

Excellent, interesting read too. Really like John having worked with him before, and his stuff sounds great. Have to say I do find the stacked knobs too tall for my tastes though.

I reckon if you tell her it has the option to split and merge the signal path she’ll be ok with it. If that fails, hit her with the fact it has a new mutron patch. Should work

How about a BC discount code

We had to get rid of some stuff in the server that meant the backups (which happen at about 6am) could hang.

Good idea I’ll sort that today. Also if you subscribe or visit the links you should see all episodes.

Thanks Christoph- I actually got my left and right mixed up so can you also tell me about the one two basses right of the razerbird, the sort of green burst one? Looks like it has Alembic series electronics or something?
