Oh BassChat you are full of loveliness, but how do I whittle it down to just a few examples!!!! I wonder if I can mention them all??

Yup, that is true. I know that you have certainly been instrumental in getting me on board too! I'm pleased that the planets aligned eventually as I always wanted to be in some way part of BGM! Now I'm in BGM AND Bass Player Mag - I bought pretty much every copy for years including the very first edition. Unfortunately, I cut it up to make posters out of it. Kicking myself now, so, if anyone has a copy of that too I would be delighted to source one!

Arrived safely and well packaged for shipping! Thank you so very much! Expect pictures on social media soon!! CHEERS!

Maaaaaaaaaan I want to list all of these!!

I really appreciate that! Thank you! I will endeavour to keep the standards high!

Yes! Yes! You will be very pleased to hear that I will absolutely be continuing to be the bass department in Guitar Interactive Magazine! The videos and features will continue! I’ve shot over 350 videos for the magazine now, most do find their way on to YouTube, but the best place to read the entire reviews as usual is via the GuitarInteractiveMagazine.com website where the current and nearly all of the back issues are available to read (and watch) online.. and is absolutely free to do so! There should be a link in my signature to go straight there. I will also be making myself available soon to shoot independent video for product releases, reviews and demonstrations, so when that is all set up (soon) expect to see more of the same! If anyone knows of companies looking for this type of presentation, then do forward on my interest or share my contact details! Thank you

Thank you very much indeed! Yup, Even when I was a kid I’d day-dream about being an artist in my favourite magazine. (My Dad used to subscribe me to Guitarist Magazine when I was a teen). I’d never guess that I’d actually be writing for the magazine! So yes, it does mean a huge amount to me. I just hope I do a good job!!!, Thank you for the suggestion and actually you are spot on, Joel my editor has been fantastic. It was he who sent over the BPM edition as it happens. It was just on this occasion, as I asked long after the Jan issue was out (released in December) that I was unable to grab a fresh copy off the press at the time. That’s really no problem at all. I didn’t want to hassle for a copy, the team are incredibly busy, all the time BC has come to my rescue which is just wonderful! Thank you again, I love doing video reviews and I am pleased to say that I continue to be the bass section of Guitar Interactive Magazine too. Those videos will continue!!!, Please keep sharing the links and review videos!

Awww you just know I'm also going to turn this in to a playlist.. beautiful sounds!! Keep them coming!!

Ahhh ha ha ha! Ok, got ya! Bass Guitar Magazine is the UK version, Bass Player Magazine will of course thus be the US print.

Very kind! Thank you!!!!!

As the title asks, post your favourite recorded examples of these effects. Youtube videos are always welcome * *I'll mention the most popular examples in BGM!

I have no idea what you mean. Which magazine is which?

Does anyone have a copy of this one they no longer need? It's for my scrap book! Writing for BGM is a bit of a dream come true for me, so I'd like to have a copy of my first "edition" as it were. I am mega excited to have received the Bass Player equivalent this morning, which just blows my mind if I am honest - but the BGM is a biggy for me. PM me or reply here

Once again a super slick transaction selling an item to Mike. Great communications and all round nice guy!

The HD212 is discontinued and is a "heavy" cabinet, but it sounds amazing and I'd love to own one. the HDN212 is Neo speakers and thus much lighter but having owned one for a bit, it has a decent amount of low end. On the subject of Bergs, I really want to try out the brand new NXT range that, on paper is going to bridge the gap between the advantages of both Neo and Ceramic. Exciting times! The GS410 I thought was a great cab, but I preferred the much deeper sound of the Aguilar GS212 when I tried them both together. Thats down to taste alone, so something you'll want to try - but I can certainly remember thinking the EBS TD650 and Aguilar GS212 was a tone match in heaven!

I've been rocking my ear plugs for well over a year now. As a professional musician, the scheme and after care is literally a no-brainer. The plugs are actually made by ACS, who, of course, know a bit about hearing protection! I'm not sure when, but I'll be due a hearing test from them again soon. I got my kit' via the Musicians Union - who deserve a plug themselves. If you aren't a member, then join up there too!

I often think back to the gear I had then. It was SO cool, but yes, it weighed a ton! - The good news is that I'm getting a pretty good replica of the sound recorded with the kit I'm using now, but, it's not the same as having that huge rig on stage with me! That was lovely and my chiropractor was kept in business for a long while! I found some old pictures of the 'rig of doom' the other day. Ahhhh happy days!

Recently I have been haunted by Ampeg G.A.S. I can’t carry one, afford one or will probably need one, but I want an SVT II Pro again. I think it’s because the SVT4Pro model on the Helix sounds so good. Oh, and at the last minute I decided not to snatch a bid on my old SVP-BSP that I spotted on eBay. It would have been an easy win, but I stopped myself last minute.
