You can see for yourself: He has other singles and EPs available but this is the only album I can see.

Plenty of excellent replies here. I can highly recommend the Focusrite Scarlett range of interfaces - I'm using a 3rd generation 2i2 and it does everything I need it to do. You can either plug your instrument straight into it using your usual instrument cable, or if you want the specific sound from your amp you can DI that into it. There are plenty of DAW packages out there, but a couple of good free ones are Cakewalk by Bandlab and Audacity. The latter is pretty simple but does the job, especially if all of your amp and effects are in front of the interface, but if you want to experiment with different tones then you could use Cakewalk and install VST plugins, which emulate different effects, amps, speakers, etc.

I think staying out of Bradford is just generally good advice though... Seriously though, I haven't been into Bradford city centre for probably 15 years, and a lot of our gigs are in the outskirts (sort of Cleckheaton-ish way) but I don't remember it being particularly car-friendly. I sent a message to a city centre bar in Leeds the other day enquiring after a possible gig, but seeing what they've done to the city centre recently I'm slightly relieved not to have heard back from them.

Apparently not 👊

He didn't fancy channeling Dave Grohl who broke his leg after falling off stage in Gothenburg (I think) and then finished the show sat down before going to hospital.

AI creating videos for AI bots to comment on. I wonder how much of the world's resources is wasted on this sort of computer-generated and computer-consumed content.

The ones where it's Spongebob Squarepants's voice are the most obvious, I find. The social media videos I hate the most are the ones where it's just an AI voice reading a Reddit AITA story over a Twitch video of someone doing a Minecraft parkour course. The lowest of low effort content.

Can you post a screenshot? From what I understand when you log into the business page you're only dealing with that page, not your personal one.

To be fair to CB he happily admits this and even pokes fun at himself for doing it - see the number of "slapocalypse" videos he makes.

Interesting that they have the sticker saying the headstock shape is licensed from Fender when Charvel is owned by Fender these days.

I don't think it takes much deliberation to conclude that this is dodgy as a very dodgy thing. Even if it were advertised as a SUB it's still laughable.

If you count anything over 25 years old as "vintage" you can technically use anything produced last century.

How... how does he not know? Also is he secret Wilfred Brimley?

Agreed, I think they're definitely on a nice little earner (I hadn't realised until I looked at his website that he's actually CXO at SBL, not just a presenter). I was amused by a recent video where they both seemed really sheepish about using boutique basses (possibly Wal) while attempting demonstrating the tone achieved by someone using a bog standard Fender.

Ian Allison also does a load of stuff on social media for SBL demonstrating how to achieve certain sounds, and I guess it becomes problematic to do that if you only have one or two basses.

Well that was... something...

When I played club cricket I was very unhappy at having to get a new bat, having used the old SS Jumbo I'd inherited off my dad (it still had the Viv Richards endorsement on it!) for about 20 years until it shattered from my nicking an inside edge. So I bought a new SS (the Indian brand not the English one) and all went really well for three games until a quick ball jumped at me and in fending it off the ball hit the handle and snapped it. Fortunately there was a shop near me that did repairs and did it quickly and well, and I was able to hit a quickfire 45 with it next game. Alas it's been gathering dust in my wardrobe for almost five years now but I may get it out again in future if I can be bothered seeking out a new club.

I was quite used to driving around Leeds but they've cut a lot of the city centre off for cars now so it's not as (relatively) easy as it once was. Fortunately I have no real need to these days, I let the P&R bus drivers deal with that nonsense.

Their experience making basses for other manufacturers probably helps too, learning the lessons of other manufacturer's requirements. My Squier P was made in a Cort factory in 1996 and while it's definitely a bit idiosyncratic the underlying quality is definitely present.

I watched the Bass The World review of it yesterday and Frank seemed to be loving it, forgoing the usual epic bass face for an expression of constant pleasant surprise. Plus it looks danged sexy too, and I'm no great fan of the aesthetics of headless basses!

I have two and don't have any need for more than one more (although I would like to but space and finances are a constraint) and that will be a 5er to open up more song possibilities for the band. I try to rotate mine but my P-bass is killing my Elf at the moment it seems so which I use on a gig will depend on the size: if I want to use the Elf I'll have to use the Sire bass, but if I want to use the P then I'll have to drag the ABM out. Unless I can nail down the problem with the Elf before the warranty runs out, in which case hopefully a replacement will solve that particular issue!

Here, in fact!

I think Tony Franklin did a video on how to do this sort of thing.
