billynoband Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Did anyone else get a free copy of Bass guitar magazine land on their door mat this morning, if you payed for it I would complain too. Their is plenty in the mag, not bad at all apart from the review of 5 very expensive square boxes with 12" speakers in them that you could build yourself for £120.

Machines Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sorry, are you talking about the latest issue of Bass Guitar Magazine or something else ? If so how did you get it free ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynoband Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes indeed the Sept/Oct 2008 edition for free through my door with my name and adress on the front. I dont know why or how but they are very kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBobTTD Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Were you once a subscriber? They could be trying to woo former subscribers back with a free issue. I hope so - I am thinking about giving them another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 We got two copies in my house! The one that I've paid for as a subscriber, and a free copy which was addressed to my son, who is also a member on here. Have they been sending free copies to Basschat members?

ped Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I haven't actually BOUGHT a bass magazine for AGES since using Basschat. Everything seems so out of date by the time it is printed. I do like a magazine to read though but find them a bit steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't still own it and it's heavier than is comfortable. Anyone know where I can get something similar that weighs 15lb less?
