Burns-bass

Much better way of saying it than mine.

This kid has made a mistake. I wonder if any one of these guys has reached out to him and asked if he’s ok? He’s a real person. A flawed one for sure and one who’s probably very ashamed at what he’s done. But he’s in a vulnerable spot. Maybe that’ll be the next video, eh?

No need for an argument. I work with the general public so patronising and condescending replies from people who have no idea who I am and what I know are part of every day. Hopefully I’ve clarified my point above. Ironicallly, had they he read through the thread they would have seen that I’d made the exact same point myself. Whats happening now is that all these other of tent creators (none of whom are directly affected) are jumping in to share their views. It’s perpetuating the outrage to generate revenue for their channels.

*Sigh* I’ve read all the replies. This isn’t about that it’s about chasing clicks. It’d bandwagon jumping from content creators who are, ironically, using the downfall of this guy to build their own channels.

Internet innit. People have made creating terrible videos into a career. I don’t really watch YouTube, if I’m honest, but if I saw any of these it’s pretty self evident they’re fake BS. The kind of faux outrage is what it is. People seem personally upset because I guess the my assume that because they’ve seen the videos they have some kind of relationship with them. I find all this a bit weird.

This is good to know. Whenever I buy a bass (probably more often than I should) I factor a good few hundred quid into the price to ensure I get the set up, strings and feel I want.

Pino must be demanding a decent amount of cash for his name…

This would be considered fair use of a trademark.

when you’re doing a show like Coldplay, Swift or U2 it’s simply too big to fail, so they have multiple backups. It’s only logical this would happen. You’re paying for the collective experience more than the musicianship. That’s always been the case.

Same as me, Steve. Couldn’t really afford to be a collector, but I am a player and if it doesn’t sound good or play well then why keep it?

This is why we do it! I played a gig at a marina bar. Blues and funk covers and was going through the motions really (as double bass is my favourite instrument to play) and I looked over a guy in a Led Zepplin T-shirt rocking out like it was the best gig ever. All packed up and home by 10pm and he told us we were brilliant, etc. Some of the gigs we play I wonder why I bother, then you do one like this and it becomes a bit clearer. Doing a run of 4 next weekend (is that a tour?). Hope they’ll be as good

What type of pickup / microphone system are you using? It’s a bass amp with a tube pre amp so should be warm and lovely. Like all amps it’ll take some dialling in I guess.
