Besides, everybody knows that Bird Song is in Bm.

I get infintely more good/usable/entertaining and first hand-real world gear reviews right here in one day than in 10 issues of BP.

| | | | I have a real soft spot for BP it came out the same time I started playing bass...... So I hope it gets through these tough times!
I have noticed though there are a number of USA luthiers/bass builders that advertise in the UK Bass Guitar Magazine but don't do so in BP.

I do think however there are way too many errors. If I can, as a reader, pick them out then they apparently arent proofreading too well before publishing. But so what? Its a minor issue. And they do tend to love every piece of gear that comes their way, but what are they supposed to do? Alienate their potential advertising partners? No way.

Re: The Ox thing, I hadn't noticed.

Glad to see that the vector is pointing in a good direction! |
