xilddx Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1385722279' post='2291453'] There has been plenty of encouragement on here alone for the magazine. I think it's beyond help. [/quote] It's beyond belief mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I looked through the Basses under £500 section for the relative weights of the different instruments. Some had the weights, others hadn't. Why? Surely if you had them all in to photograph, it takes seconds to hang them on a luggage scale and weigh them all?

ezbass Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It's been a while since I got my copy and read it, but I seem to remember that it was one of the better issues of late, at least for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Perhaps we of BassChat, should think of potentially putting together our own mag? Granted, that's a very pie in the sky thought but if we can't find a mag to meet our tastes then we should make one? I'd certainly love to be involved if ever such a thing comes to fruition...

[/quote] Are you sure, as they all look as if they were photographed identically orientated( that's cos they're from the Far East-boom boom), with the same lighting and backdrop...?

[/quote] No... But just because they have been photographed in the same manner doesn't explain why the supporting text is so poor.

gafbass02 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm afraid to say I stopped a few months back too. Had every issue since number one without fail, and all but one issue of the old magazine 'bassist'. But sadly times have changed, and despite my previous levels of enthusiastic support I now found it simply not worth the money and I found little to interest or excite me. It just felt like the same stuff going round and round and round. I still haven't decided what to do with all the old mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]This is what annoys me the most; with the huge amount of famous players out there, it's still the same old faces that seem to be interviewed.
