Funky Dunky Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Where do you buy yours? I never ever see them in shops up here, not even in WH Smith, and it makes me sad because it's something I would buy fairly often (although not often enough to subscribe). Never any problems finding between four and six guitar magazines on the shelves, but absolutely hee haw for bass. Which are the best publications for bass guitar?

Bobthedog Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I buy mine through the magazine store on my iPad. Once I have read the literally 2-3 articles that interest me, I can delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have seen BGM at WH Smiths but only at big ones, near railway stations. Clearly the publisher is happier distributing directly to subscribers than newsagents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I live in a relatively small town (pop 10,000 or so) and WHS always has BGM on the shelf. Maybe the store manager is a bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It used to be on sale in a small newsagents where I am, but that stopped so it now gets delivered, courtesy of my subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have a subscription now thanks to Mrs C Although before that my local corner shop stocked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) It always seems to be in the city WH Smiths when I don't want it, but never in the airport ones when I want one Edited June 8, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 One of our local newsagents will order and hold it for no additional cost. Check if yours will do the same.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I've just been reading a copy - [i]am I the only person who struggles with the size of the print and the font??[/i] I find that the print is too light (black on white) and when it's white on colour it's even harder to read. As for the size of the script, why so small?? The copy I'm currently reading (April 2015) has loads of pictures which wouldn't suffer if the the print was a bit larger. IMHO the articles would benefit from being at least size 12. Unfortunately these, minor, points are spoiling my enjoyment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yes I tend to agree , Mick. The text could be bigger and the pictures could often be smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Dunky Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 As a qualified journo and an amateur bassist, I would cut somebody's throat for a job at that mag. I would seriously LOVE that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Guys and gals, quick update: I have mentioned the 'thin and small' typeface problem to Joel, and he is looking into doing something about it. Watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I was struggling to find this magazine in WH Smiths so subscribe now. I know it gets a fair amount of criticism on here but I really enjoy the interviews and articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
