Has to be under £500. Theres so many basses available new and 2nd hand under £500. If you're hitting £750 to £1000, your options are getting less. still lots, but less.

IMO, this is exactly what you want from a showreel. lots of energy, interesting camera angles, quick cuts and zooms. Crowd dancing and singing along. Also, important to have a vertical version too, as so much social media is consumed vertically these days. This is my bands version for an upcoming gig, in the similiar vein, a bit less punk. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRZ7sdzlK7V/

Yes, they're astonishing basses. Here's mine next to it's older cousin! The only thing i dislike is the actual finish. Might be different with the other colours but onthe black one any finger or sweat marks shows up - always looks a bit mingin in photos!

I know I'm late to the party but these things are great.

Decent player, puts an interesting twist on bass guitaring. Never seen any of his longer form things but for a wee laugh and a bit of bass content on my lunch break, i quite enjoy his stuff.

Not the most exciting but I once bought a 6 string fretless bass on gumtree. When i got it home I realised there was quite a heavy duty strap in the case. I used that strap for years! The bass... think i had it for about 3 weeks!

I've got the Harley Benton AirBorne, £44 (although you'd need to pay £10 delivery unless you can spend over £150). Works flawlessly, and the battery is great. Lovely wee case too. They do feel a touch flimsy but ive had them for a while and they're still going strong!

You can also find some quite high quality midi files for free or for a few quid on most tunes. Those files hand in hand with some choice VSTIs can get you a pretty decent basis of a track. Then add little bit of your own playing on top for abit of flavour. That's what I do for the tracks with my band. It can take a bit of time, but I quite enjoy the process! Just need to ensure you dont use the very obvious and unnatural midi file bits.

If i was 14 today i'd ask for a 2nd hand peavey tnt 115. Sounds great. plenty loud. easy to move about. lots of ins and outs. Completely future proof.

My wee band that do a gig about every 12 months will be doing a big show in Glasgow next year. Movie themed rock covers.

Bought a US jazz. It felt like it had werid dimensions despite having great experiences with many US, mexican and other Jazzes.. Hated it.

Anyone using one of these as an IEM signal splitter? Any thoughts positive or negative? I currently have 3 individual boxes rackmounted which work flawlessly, however I think replacing them with this would do the same job and up my split channels from 3 to 8 in the same rack space, which would be worth the money. The fact they have the input and XLR output on the front side makes cabling much easier.

worst piece of kit: LEKATO In-Ear Monitor System MS-1 Bought on an impulse to test against my xvive system, and as a back up. Really flimsy, and every connection crackled on even the slightest bit of movement. Dont send many things back. I returned this.

One of these. Cort a5. Absolutely astonishing bass. So comfortable to play and sounds tremendous. It's quickly became my #1!
