blamelouis Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 [quote name='vsmith1' timestamp='1322149379' post='1447260'] I am having problems with the mag - I have sent an email to the support team.

rk7 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 [quote name='Jacqueslemac' timestamp='1322153079' post='1447313'] As an ex-journo, please tell me that when you wrote "Fender's" for the plural of Fender, it was a mistake by your fingers, and that it won't appear in your articles that way! I find that poor writing ends up detracting from what's actually being written about. I gave up reading one magazine because I realised that all I'd done was proof-read the mag (I gave up counting after the first couple of dozen mistakes) and hadn't actually taken anything in. Maybe it's me, but writers of all types should take pride in their writing, not just their knowledge of the subject matter. [/quote] A fare point, woll made!

davebass66 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 When is issue 3 coming out? surely it's pretty late seeing as the last one came out in December (I think)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well .... they haven't updated their Facebook page since mid-January and they tweeted regularly until 26th Jan .... and then that stopped abruptly. I would have though regular social media updates are essential for a publication ..... and now the 3rd Edition has gone missing. I definitely would have thought that it is essential for a publication to publish an err .... publication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I didn't subscribe. It was a good idea, but the content wasn't great and it made very limited and clumsy use of the media technology available. So no big loss.

The Dark Lord Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It suprises me that they (or possibly it's just that one guy so maybe just he) doesn't say something? I thought he might give some excuse, or some apology, or maybe a promise to publish something - but nothing. I mean has he replied to any of those who must be demanding their subscription money back?

JakeBrownBass Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I wouldn't doubt Nick just yet, he's still posting on Facebook about up & coming features & events for the magazine. It's always going to be difficult starting a new product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxcat Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I emailed them today and got this reply. I will give them some more time I think. Thanks for the email.. great to hear from you. We've been delaying the release of issue 03 while we implement some pretty big changes to the way in which iBass works. Essentially, we're dividing each issue and making the main pages available for free. We're also introducing a new area called 'iBass Xtra', which will give paying subscribers access to a bunch of exclusive pages featuring extended video edits, subscriber only interviews, lessons and competitions. We're also making iBass available on the iPad this month.. It's all taken some time to re-program hence the delay, but we're almost there now and aim to be back up and running this week. Once again, apologies for the wait and please do let us know your thoughts on these changes. If you're not entirely happy by all means give us a call and we'll happily offer you a refund. But, if you can bear with us I honestly believe that the changes we're making are for the better. Thanks again for the email.. and for your patience!

Overall great example on how important transparent and timely communication is, obviously they could have bothered to put in an update here at BassChat. Anyway, I'm glad to hear they will be coming around sometime soon(fingers crossed) and definitely look forward to the iPad edition!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I was thinking of subscribing to the ipad editions, but common decency would be to give subscribers an update on the situation, unfornuately, the silence of ibass has lost my interest.
