Bass Magazines

[skywalker]

Does anyone know if there are magazines for Bass Players which are published in the UK. I subscribe to Bass Player but it is an American mag with American content, and no information on the UK Bass scene.

It would be nice to have a monthly read of what is going on over here

Not bad for £5.25

I like BGM too. Some of the contributors can be found on these very boards.

BGM seems to be steadily improving - a lot of fairly wide-ranging and well written content. It knocks the defunct Bassist magazine into a cocked hat...

You need that in this industry!

[Paul Cooke]

it would be nice if they posted a little heads up when the BGM magazine hits the shops...

[skywalker]

Thanks for all this - I will ask my newsagent to get BGM and give it a try.

Just out of curiosity is anyone on this forum involved in the publication of any bass mags in any sense?

[slaphappygarry]

Hi - I write for the mag also. Hey Mike... How's tricks?
