I think he’s an unbelievable player, he’s fantastic at what he does and I love that he’s obviously hugely successful. I’m full of admiration for him. The “oh, and one more thing I forgot...” type e-mails nark me a bit. And I get plenty. It’s very much the nature of the beast - he’s an online marketeer. It doesn’t work on me...but I get that it’s how his operation works. He’s sort of become the latter day Clarkson era Top Gear of online bass tuition. It’s for the masses and people buy into it big time - he’s successful and people grow to resent the ubiquitousness of it all. Others adore it. “Like sh*t in a field” As my grandad used to say. More power to him. Wish I’d thought of it first - as well as Wishing I’d learned to be more theoretically minded rather than my “hit it and see what comes out” method of playing. I signed up for a free trial and didn’t look at it - I think it was for a competition entry. I reckon he’s probably a really sound bloke, and I bet I’d find his website useful. But I’m not drawn to it. He doesn’t offend me, and I should just block his spam. He’s good at what he does, a very slick operator. Not for me though.

I found the 55 we shared at one point sounded like neck pickup of a Jazz

This

left Japan in late 2019/early 2020

Mine has sadowsky branded units, look like hipshot

If it’s of any interest...the original “guitarist audition” piece - live in a room. Single Rode M1 - needed another really, but does a fair job at high SPL - drummer is louder than a jumbo jet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbEpWb-ax4unl9dipC9JsRlMCPCZhdnj/view?usp=drivesdk

Nope. Sorry guys. Maybe @Bassassin would have a clue?

Sometimes financial ineptitude. Sometimes for different gear. Mainly because it’s only stuff...and newer stuff is exciting-er. But I’m looking at the current crop...I want a new car, so I’m thinking something might go to clear the decks financially and just be happy with my Orange BB.

Yeah, he’s a nice bloke - hope it works out.

Yeah - he’s booked in for next Thursday

Right...singer is ill so a no show - although he told us yesterday he’d do his best. He called me today and sounded like crap. He offered to pay for tonight... Instead we tightened up some new ideas, and Andy the new guitarist paid for rehearsal. sounds ace.

You actually took the time to type it in?!

Well, if he rehearsed 5 times a week with his previous band, it really didn’t show.

Hahahaha. Jesus Christ. The odd folk are out in force.
