[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1476904412' post='3158395'] Only on BassChat - someone asks for a tab and someone else vids them a private lesson. Nice one, WoT [/quote] With the added bonus of a bit of Maruszcyzk porn.

Too many to mention. Many of them via Basschat over the last couple of years. Case in point - Mr Rocco Prestia http://youtu.be/G0TUGeT9uUk

I'd love to have a proper crack at drums, I reckon it would make me a better bass player. I've got a mate who has offered to lend me her electric kit, but from having a couple of lessons at her house I reckon even that would be noisy enough to have the neighbours coming after me with farm implements and flaming torches where I live.

Had to download the Spotify app, but I'm listening to it now. So far, so brilliant.

It's just my grouchy instincts. It would have been great on a Christmas EP. I just don't like hearing Christmas music on albums I listen to all year round Bah Humbug etc. Do you know if the new one's on general release or just on Spotify? I just checked Amazon and they don't seem to have it yet, or I'd be listening to it right now.

[quote name='AdamWoodBass' timestamp='1476784159' post='3157135'] Has anyone listened to the new album yet? It came out on Spotify yesterday and I was having a listen this morning on my way to work. Really liking it so far. [/quote] It's not got another bloody Christmas song on it has it? The last one was definitely a low point on the album.

I suppose it comes down to what you're used to. I've always thought that if I ever get a six string bass I'll tune it B to B. Having the top string as C would confuse me and bugger up any chordal stuff I might want to do.

Sell it. Someone out there will love it & you can get something you'd be happier with.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1476696815' post='3156289'] Sorry if this is a report but just went on Guitar Guitar there and first advert that clocked my eye was new Sandberg Stock. Which led me to see this absolute beauty [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=160817301535008-438450"]http://www.guitargui...01535008-438450[/url] I think I'm in love! [/quote] To me that's a perfect example of a beautiful bass that would look so much better without the relicing.

There's a volume control?

[quote name='JonesTheCat' timestamp='1476648294' post='3156004'] All at once? [/quote] Many years ago I saw Fun Loving Criminals live and on a couple of songs the bass player was hammering on notes with his left hand whilst simultaneously playing the trumpet. Could be something for Andyjr1515 to aspire to?

I'm guessing I can't use my newbie discount in conjunction with this code? So unfortunately I think hi beams will be cheaper from Amazon.

My Washburn Status is active with a single tone control. I've never been exactly sure what it cuts/boosts but there's significantly more variation in tone than you get on a passive bass. Edit: I think the Status Energy (I have no connection to the seller) in the for sale section has a similar arrangement, maybe the seller knows a bit more about it.

I down loaded cookie about half an hour a go on the strength of this thread.I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1476442687' post='3154335'] Doesn't Thundercat play a fat semi? [/quote] That's a massive 6 string Ibanez-custom-shop-available-to-endorsees-only job. The aforementioned Artcore would be the closest match, although I don't think Thundercat's is short scale.

I've been getting a bit of a buzz off it recently, I can really hear myself improving after being on a plateau for what felt like a long time.

January in Skeggy? Tell your friends to wear their thermals.

Used to go there on day trips in the 70s/early 80s when I was a kid. It's allegedly on the coast although I never actually saw the sea as it's one of those places where the tide goes out miles. Good for fish and chips though.

Great playing, annoying beards.

I was gassing for a p bass for a while, but realistically I'm always going to want a bridge pickup. So my current gas has changed focus to something from the Yamaha BB range.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1476296181' post='3153180'] I would also avoid using Bluetooth for playing bass. However, for video playback, some players automatically adjust when connected to Bluetooth, I know the nPlayer app I use on my iPad does not do this but it does have a manual slider to adjust the delay! [/quote] I shall look into that, cheers.

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1476294964' post='3153160'] Any love for Bose? Was contemplating investing in a bluetooth set (Soundlink) over ears type. [/quote] Not sure about Bluetooth for practice. I've got a Bluetooth speaker which is great for music but the latency makes it unusable in conjunction with visual media - every film you watch looks like it's been really badly dubbed. I imagine the delay would , at best, be really irritating if you tried to use it for practice, although its quite possible the latency issues have been resolved since I got my speaker.

It'd be interesting to know how many musical instruments are sold in the UK on an average week. I bet it's not that many. If you look specifically at guitars and basses it's going to be a lot less.

Robert Glasper Trio. It's more trad jazz than his later stuff with the Robert Glasper Experiment but still very pleasant.

Maybe it wasn't heavy enough?
