Dan Veall's gear reviews, Pedal show for effects, Adam Neely for bass theory and much more... These are just individual links to specific vids... take a look at their sites to see more good stuff... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UUJLy_68O8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8CEWWZ4F8o&t=709s https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWTj3vCqkQIsrTGSm4kM34g https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=that+pedal+show+josh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC6gbo3sZ_0 The only thing going for BP or BGM (as they are the same now) is that you can read it when you have a s**t. Actually I take my iPad/laptop into the toilet for a long session (sorry for TMI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to volunteer any links? Part of the appeal of a magazine is it should be well produced and focused on its area of concern. An easy-to-read thing. Online, it is a bit more "wild west" than that and also it is interactive, in that you would need to put an amount of effort into the research of a particular topic you were interested in (easy enough with Google though) and also you'd get a quantity of information, warts and all - so you'd need to filter out the noise to find the genuinely useful information. There are "magazine format" websites for stuff (I don't really look at them much though) but the true info is in amongst the various forums, where you can talk to peers who are in a good position to give an honest appraisal of eg equipment. Also, of course, there's YouTube channels. There's tons out there but personally two contrasting ones which are worth mentioning: Spectre Sound Studios and Andertons (I appreciate they only indirectly cover bass stuff). Glenn (Spectre) is passionate about honest gear reviews, takes his role very seriously and has rightly earned respect because of this - but is still very funny on occasions. Contrast with the Anderton's channel where its really a glorified advertorial for the shop; and often I feel they're either constrained by the commercial link (obviously) or don't really produce the clarity of summarising a product properly. Yes they are entertaining but its a bit, well, cheesy/shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I really enjoyed a US bass perspective on things, but after a couple of the new reboot editions, it's not great. As I buy mine through a WH Smith subscription, next time I'm in town I'll be cancelling. Sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
