    Within music (or other arts) I have no interest at all in AI content. It's pointless oxymoron, that try my upmost to avoid. I find it ultimately boring. There's no 'story' so to speak about the creative journey, bar a few prompt words. I've got to the point where I'm bored rigid of nearly every movie being a CGI fest, so AI has no chance. 🙂 AI is able to step in because unfortunately creativity is being discarded in so many areas. Music, a lot of uninspiring dull generic output. Movies, constant remakes and sequel franchises. I'm off to my cave, cheerio.

    The Gear4Music fitted foam cases look identical to the Kinsman ones I've had. They are fantastic for £40. I've had mine for 15 years and are still going strong.

    No. It may sound good however, aside the awful aesthetics it looks really awkward to move.

    This has not been used very much and never been out of the house. I'm not a guitarist, but it's got some really nice sounding presets and effects built in and is quite loud. It'd make a perfect practice/home amp. It has the instruction manual, USB cable and original box. Spec: Amplifier Type: Solid State Output Power: 20 Watts Speaker: 1-8" Fender® Special Design Speaker Output Impedance: 8 Ohms Power Handling: 20 Watts Inputs: One Channels: One channel (with 24 presets) Controls: Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, Master, Preset Select, Modulation Select, Delay/Reverb Select, Save Button, Exit Button, Tap Tempo Button Effects: 12 Modulation Effects Including Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Vibratone, Octaver, Phaser, Step Filter; 12 Delay/Reverb Effects Including Tape Delay, Stero/Mono Delay, Room/Plate /Hall Reverb Auxillary Input: 1/8” Stereo Input Jack Headphone Jack: 1/8" Headphone Jack Line Out: Speaker Emulated USB Output; 1/8” Headphone Jack Doubles as Speaker Emulated Line Out Amp Covering/Grille Cloth: Carbon Tweed Textured Vinyl with Silver Grill Cloth Height: 14.5" (36.83 cm) Width: 15.5" (40 cm) Depth: 7.6 in (19.3cm) Weight: 17 lbs (7.7 kg)

    Jazz

    Marvin replied to jezzaboy's topic in Gear Gallery

    My 2 Jazz basses. The black one, is my Sire V7. It's a first generation and I can't remember how long I've had it. It was one of the very first ones made with a signed neckplate. I took the plate off and replaced it was a blank plate. The original lives in a box. I've used it a lot and apart from the neckplate I've done no modifications to it, I've never felt the need. The V7 has been my main bass since I bought it (I did have a Squier P bass as a back up). The 3 tone burst Jazz I bought recently from a fellow Basschatter. I love it. I wanted a passive Jazz with a classic look and this fits that bill. Don't let the Sire hear, but this is probably my main bass now.

    I bought this lovely self build Jazz from @briansbrew recently. It has a genuine Fender Jazz neck and 70s style Fender tuners. The neck has a lovely played in feel. The tuners are great, they really hold. A lot of my other basses I've owned I've always wondered how it could be flat and sharp at the same time when tuning...cheap tuners. The body, an alder jazz body from North West Guitars. I love 3 tone burst with tort. Seymour Duncan pickups, a push pull switch on the neck pickup volume to go between series and parallel. And a great Schaller bridge. It's a lot of bass. It's only the 2nd bass I've bought where when I've played it I've thought, yes this is my bass. I took it to practice on Wednesday. I find the neck really easy to play, and I just love the tone in combination with my amp and cab. So yes, result!

    I've commented on this thread a couple of times, but I thought I add a bit more. Although I've been to the venue to watch gigs and played there, I never really got to know the people, or now person, running it. My current band (albeit covers) is less than a year old, and in that year, I have to say the guy running this place has been absolutely brilliant towards us. Help, advice a couple of good opportunities and bookings etc. He works incredibly hard on behalf of any of the bands around this way. I've nothing but thanks and respect for him. If this came up again I'd definitely give up an evening to play a few songs, no question.

    There are a few in my current bands set list that have been tampered with, some more than others. As @chris_b says, I think it's best to stick to the original arrangement. The ones that have been adjusted have caused problems for our new guitarist, especially as we haven't particularly good recordings of us playing them. Things would have been a lot quicker if we'd just stuck to an agreed original template.

    Looks like it was left too close to a radiator.

    I bought a Jazz bass from @briansbrew this week. Great to deal with. All seemless and quick and packed very well for delivery. The bass... well, I kept on staring at it so much my wife asked if I was going to be sleeping downstairs with it. Thank you Brian.

    People who have to have the application they're using on full screen on a shared terminal... and don't close it. They're not using the full functionality of the windows... thing. Actually, I think that's a daily annoyance

    I'm with those who don't like painted necks. I don't like active on board eq that doesn't have a mid control. White pickguards. Those baseball caps with the really flat peak. Ugh.

    I don't want to sound like a sychophant, but here, Basschat, is 'the place to shop'. Sometimes you may have to be a bit patient. I've bought some cracking gear, and recently bought a cab I've always wanted on here. I don't think there's anywhere more trustworthy and fairly priced.

    212 cab

    Marvin replied to BassAdder60's topic in Amps and Cabs

    A Schroeder 212 or Genz Benz NX212 ate the 2 cabs I have used. Both great cabs, but very different as well. The only thing is finding one, unfortunately.

    I have my eye on the Squier, as a 5 string would be useful in my band. I've not really played a 5 string however, my local music shop has a Squier in stock. The only 5 string I've had a quick play of was an Ibanez SR305. I found the 16.5mm string spacing too narrow. I'm not sure but I think the Squier is 19mm spacing?
