That's interesting, as I've never had any issues with any of the 8 5-string basses I have, and they are all tuned to low B (that clue is in my username hahaha). I do always use Rotosound flats, though I don't know if that would really make a difference or not. Mark

This is just Sharon being Sharon. This is her final hurrah, what with it being Ozzy's final gig she'll have to put to bed that which made her famous in the first place. Mark

I see what you did there. 😂 Mark

RSD isn't - or at least shouldn't be - about the artists. Yes, they've co-opted the whole dam thing these days, but it's still about getting bodies into physical record stores, that's why it was create, and that's what still happens. I hear your argument about CD's and other formats, but as long as it's keeping bodies moving through the doors of physical shops, whoever participates is just helping the cause. Mark

Ozzy says in an interview "I can't walk anymore" due to the effects of Parkinson's disease, but Sharon insists his voice "is as good as it's ever been". https://people.com/ozzy-osbourne-can-no-longer-walk-due-to-parkinsons-8787090 Mark

This has cropped up in previous threads, but it's worth mentioning again. Yes, whilst you are free to say what you wish, you still have to abide by forum rules. Here, politics is a topic that is generally frowned upon for discussion, for myriad reasons, but mostly just to try to maintain decorum and a peaceful environment for everyone. Mark

Nothing, because I don't have a Spotify account. I don't stream music, I'll buy it if I really like it. There's some stuff I buy on records but mostly I'll by from the iTunes Store and recently I've started to use Bandcamp more. Mark

Good luck, and let us know how you get on with it when it arrives. Mark

Much better body shape IMO than the Harley Benton one in the OP. Mark

Damn that GAS. Mark

Damnit. I did not need to know this. *sigh* Mark

Absolutely this. Thanks all admins/mods for jumping on this so quickly - suppose I should also give a shoutout to the "server guy" too. 😂 Mark

A flight case for £23k 😂 Mark

£24k for a neck. No body, neck only. Some of the numbers on this auction are staggering. Mark

More for Admin/mod awareness, but BC had a brief outage … Mark

^^ This. ^^ £159 for a 5-string fretless, better than butchering a beloved bass you are keeping for sentimental reasons, no? Mark

What about a 10-string one (5-string+octaves)? Because if 'yes' we can take this to DM to discuss. 😁 Mark

Does such a thing exist? Mark

My Vox AC50 amplifier head and my Vox VR115 speaker cabinet. Neither of these get any usage these days. The amp head hasn't been used in so long (was in England with my mum for 20+ years just being stored for me) that the internals all need a good seeing to by a more qualified person than I. It's the only amp+cab that I've ever owned, and it sounds immense. I'd really not want to get rid of it if I had the choice. My Washburn AB-35. I love playing this bass so much. My frozen shoulder has meant it hasn't got the attention it deserves recently, but soon, hopefully. Mark

Hello there! I joined the BB owners club in November last year … Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

If the OP is using Windows then GarageBand isn't an option, so will have that hurdle of drivers to contend with. I don't envy them this process, I went through something equally frustrating with video editing when it transitioned from analogue to digital, so I understand their frustrations somewhat with this. Mark

The OP states they are using a Focusrite Scarlet, which is "class compliant" so yes, it would work, and indeed does work, as I have this setup and works with GarageBand no problems. Mark
