New bass mag

I subscribed.

Bass Player mag has continued to go down hill, but I still buy it and will never stop. I also find it irritating the way their reviews are so biased on both equipment & artists.


I like the Brit mags Guitar & Bass, pricey but huge on content and to me a great value as it provides months of reading.

nice!   Tom Bowlus is the editor-in-chief.   looks like it could be a great resource.

I also love the British Guitar @ Bass Magazine. This one looks fine too.

Looks promising. I'll at least pick up the first issue, assuming it's available at a music store or Borders. But even established publications are supposedly having a tough time in today's market. I wish them well.

I certainly hope it does better than "Bass Guitar" magazine.  I have all the issues to that.  Last summer I went on a long trip and I  was looking forward to seeing the new issues that had arrived when I was gone.  To my dismay, the magazine had been replaced by friggin' "Guitar World."  There were two useless issues of that waiting for me here.  Plus, the person taking care of my mail subscribed me to "Guitar World" for a year.  Of course she didn't understand and thought she was simply renewing my subscription to "Bass Guitar."

If only there was somthing like this, but for the bathroom:



You know - WiFi, surround sound, cup holders...  Then you could go paperless.

Well... almost paperless.  Maybe recycle copies of Guitar World for that part...
