yorks5stringer Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Blimey iBass magazine seems quite a bit more interesting than BGM! Can I swap my subscription over please...December's BGM leaves me a bit cold-mind maybe I just need to put the central heating on now? Quote
The Dark Lord Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I've read the first issue and it's pretty good. Will help when the iPad version becomes available though. Quote
squire5 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 LOL.I just registered for this site.I ordered the magazine £1.69 as stated.I opted to pay via Paypal.When I reached checkout,I nearly had a minor accident in my pants! Why?? " Amount due - £16,900,000.00" It may be a good mag,but there's no way it's worth nearly 17 million.I MAY try again! Quote
discreet Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 What's the problem? It's only money! Quote
nick@ibassmag Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Sorry guys.. our technical team are looking into it right away! Quote
squire5 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 On reflection,I wonder how I would have fared if I had clicked 'Pay Now' without thinking.Would it have emptied my bank account? Not that I have £17 million,you understand,but My Paypal is directly linked to my bank account.Jeez! Quote

Mykesbass Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1321878093' post='1443909'] Personally, I would want a bass mag the same as how I would like a TV car show. The criticism that Top Gear has come under is that it hardly reviews cars that everyday people can afford or want and only focus on the extreme supercars. Long gone has the motoring magazing show which a lot of people miss. So when I am looking at buying a car or trying to find details, I have to look over old Top Gear clips or reviews on the internet for cars like Meganes, Pug 207's, Alfa 156's etc. So I think its important that a bass mag not only covers the more unusual boutique basses but also touches on the stuff that people use everyday like Fenders and Squires. You can certainly see more people asking on the forum about pre Korean Warwick Corvettes, Squires, Fenders etc than the high end boutique basses. I just think its important to not miss out on your Ford Focus drivers as well as keeping your Ferrari Enzo drivers happy also [/quote] Got me thinking you could take a lot from the Top Gear format - Star on a Reasonably Priced Bass anyone?

If you're able to try again it should now be fixed. Edited November 21, 2011 by nick@ibassmag Quote

[/quote] That would be quite fun actually. Fifteen minutes talking about what they have been up to, their first bass and other basses etc followed by one of their famous bass lines played on a cheap nasty bass to see how it fairs. Could be quite fun Quote

BB3000S Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Couldn't wait for the iPad version to come out, so bought issue 1 just now. Would however expected the delivery to be more or less instant - have waited a good 10min now and the order status still says 'processing'. Quote
BB3000S Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Aaaarrrgh - silly me, it doesn't seem to work at all on the iPad at present. Oh well, I'm only 1.69 out, have made far worse deals than that. Do look forward to the iPad version though. Quote

nick@ibassmag Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 So, who would you like to see interviewed in an upcoming issue? Quote

It would be interesting to hear from busy bassists who play regular gigs... it would be easy to relate to and tips and stories could be interesting. Quote
ped Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 'Do's' and 'Dont's' of wedding gigs/rehersals/auditions etc... like the thread here on BC. Perhaps we could inspire a list for all the readers! Quote

daz Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1321539803' post='1440367'] From that post above, this seems easily worth the (Quite small i would say) sum of £1.69 a month. I'll definately be subscribing come payday, as right now i don't even have £1.69 to my name.
