Free BASS guitar magazine.

[billynoband]

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.

Sorry, are you talking about the latest issue of Bass Guitar Magazine or something else ? If so how did you get it free ?

[billynoband]

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.

[Raggy]

I had this through also!!!!!!!

Don't know why.

[Machines]

How strange ! Might be worth firing them an email to find out why ?

[billynoband]

I would like to thank them anyhow, its very good and much appreciated.
I just hope the subscribers dont take offense.

I'm so offended

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.

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?

I doubt it, we don't have any postal address data for members and we don't give out real names or any other personal information to third parties without members written consent.

[Geek99]

I didn't get one.

[BigRedX]

I still haven't received my subscription copy :-(

[ped]

I might go and see if anyone in the street got a copy I can have!

[warwickhunt]

I can't even find one in WH Smiths to buy one... you bunch of shiftless chiselers must have them all

[Jase]

Well, they haven't reached my street yet...good idea Ped, shouldn't take me long to knock everybody up!

[ped]

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 Everything seems so out of date by the time it is printed.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.

[Jase]

Same here Ped, I haven't had one in ages......last one I had was given to me

Got mine a couple of days ago and I am a subscriber, so I trust I shall get a free one tacked on to the end of the current run

Please can someone PM me with the details of how to make something that sounds like an Agi or Berg for £120 ?? I may even drop you a fiver if it works

[noisedude]

No freebies here ... so someone tell me which 12-inchers they thought were good?

I'm waiting for anything distributed by JHS to ever get a bad review anywhere ..... or Taylor/Digitech/Washburn from Sound Tech for that matter.

Maybe they advertise heavily [i]because[/i] their products are flawless?

My GS112s sound like they [i]did [/i]cost £120.... .... I recently a/b-d them with my old Trace 1153 and it dusted them completely. 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?
