Bought a Pedaltrain board and case from Danny - great communication, well packaged and arrived very quickly. A top Basschatter to deal with ☺️

SO MANY KNOBS 😂

Being a fan of Bob Weston's grinding/snarling bass tone in Shellac, I've just ordered a TS-50B kit from Musikding - https://www.musikding.de/TS-50-Bass-Preamp-kit I believe it's pretty identical to the Tronographic Rusty Box bit with a toggle switch instead of a foot switch for the boost function. It's the first time I've ordered anything from them - Has anyone had any experience with Aion/Musikding? Cheers

Bought some Ryan Adams CDs from Dave, a throughout nice guy to deal with. Paid for them and promptly received them the next day, top stuff ☺️

Stopped using evilBay for selling items a few years ago when they decided that treating sellers with total disdain was the ideal business model. Looks like they're reacting to other platforms taking a big slice of the pie, but nothing much seems to have changed in how they bias everything towards the buyer and have 0 interest in sorting out the idiots who are abusing the system.

That looks absolute class!

Man I love listening to his music too, such a tragic waste of talent 😔

A big fan of Karate (the band), going to see them in December when they tour the UK. This track is insanely good and still sounds fresh as a daisy over 20 years later. Jeff Goddard’s playing on this track is so good, the perfect amount of space, but keeping everything rock solid and melodic.

I'm trying to get my head around a bit more theory and develop a decent practice routine, and whilst doing this I started looking on't interweb for some decent info that had scales, arpeggios etc. I found a few, but all of them required either buying something, reading loads of text to get to the bits I want, or signing up for someone's mailing list (Where I know I'm going to get bombarded with promo stuff). So I thought, coming from a designer background why not create my own and maybe I can learn some more theory stuff along the way. After thinking about it for a bit I thought why not create an e-book for the forum that doesn't involve a cost or any signing up shenanigans. I started to put together a couple of examples of what it might consist of attached below. Before I get in too deep, I wanted to check if I'm reinventing the wheel and something like this already exists, or if it's worth it? I know it would be useful for some people out there - if it is something people want, are there any essentials/elements that should be included or would help? Thanks, James

I love the sound of the bass on its own (which makes it great when practising), but the feeling of playing bass in a band or with others is the best feeling even if you’re just locked into playing root notes with the bass drum, that feeling of locking in with a drummer is like a drug I can’t get enough of. I’d say get out and play with others ASAP, especially a drummer if you can. Life is short, grab it by the balls. Jump in and go for it, it’ll make you a much better player in a much shorter time. Plus you get to share the love of music with others into the same thing which is another bonus 😊

This whole issue isn't about musicians being paid well, it's the fact a fair few of them AND the ticket companies are in cahoots to fleece the fans for all they can. It's morally corrupt, end of.
