Updated pic of my 'signature' bass.

Yes! I was about to add a Sei Bass and @4000 beat me to it. However, I always fancied the 6-string so will just add this to the mix as well...

Hey, thanks Ped. Now there's a thought. I've had this beauty since 1997.

Aw, g'wan, g'wan - give us a Tune....!!

How could I not...?!

Just heard about this from me mate, @mangotango, and am equally as saddened by the news. RIP Lyle.

Crumbs...!!

Just thought I'd revive this thread and see how many other Tune players might now be on Basschat. Also, here's a bunch of pages with various specs from the Tune catalogue.

Quite a lot on Reverb, too https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=tune bass

Happy to oblige. In fact, I posted a few pics of my TWB-6 in the TunePorn thread way back in 2009. This 'ere post: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/18385-tuneporn/?do=findComment&comment=655632 However, I'll park a couple or three here and just say that Japanese Tune's are a bit like hen's gold teeth, at least in the UK. Well worth snagging one, though, if the opportunity arises. Japanese vintage Tune TWB-6 (c.1991). Purchased in 1997 from the Bass Centre, Wapping. Also bought this Korean Tune SWV4-BB a few years back (through Basschat).

Definitely a band after my own heart!

Landmarq at DanFest 9 - the biggest little Prog festival in the world (Nov 2019)....

If you're actually downloading the files to your own device, you should be able to delete them as normal. However, if you're listening to your band tracks via your drummers Dropbox account (i.e., in a shared folder), then you won't be able to delete the files as they'll be in his account. With WeTransfer, the files are only on the server for 7 days then deleted. Once you've downloaded them, delete as appropriate.

I also use WeTransfer. There's also MediaFire for sharing large files where you can also store them, too. You get 55GB of storage with the free account.

Excellent news, indeed, Dan. Just wondering, will you still be doing the bass reviews for Guitar Interactive?

Here's a couple of pics from a Heads Up jazz gig played at the Union Church in Shenfield, Essex. Great stage setting. Also includes Basschatter @mangotango in his other guise as guitarista.

Interesting. I didn't know about the book. Do you happen to know the title?

You know it makes sense!

Not meaning to divert away from this topic, but I've been enjoying AC/DC's "Brian Johnson - A Life On The Road" series of interviews on Sky Arts (AXS TV)...

Mmmmmm...... another bass! 👍🤑👍

Nice Hohner 'The Jack'. I always fancied one of these back in the day but never quite got on with headless basses at the time. Mind you, in respect of strings on a fretless, I have to say I've mainly always used rounds on my various fretlesses (apart from the EUB). I've tried flats in the past but just found the sound a little too 'dull' or 'muffled' for my own taste/style. In fact, at the recent South-East Bass Bash -- to quote @BreadBin -- we both agreed that "...moves should be made to start the Fretless Deviants register for all of us round wound users..."

Great day (again) at the Bass Bash and, as has been said, BIG thanks to @Hamster (and Mrs Hamster), @silverfoxnik, @cetera for their efforts in getting this all together. Great to catch up with old 'chatters(!) and meet some new ones. Also thanks to Matt ( @Wombat ) for letting me try the WL-20 wireless kit. From his previous post, I can confirm it certainly does work with active basses (and here was I thinking I got away with adding any more to my GAS!!) See y'all at the next one!
