Magazines & Advertising

[Marcus Johnson]

Hey Ken... I don't even buy mags anymore, but I'm probably not the typical shopper, since all I buy at this point are strings, rosin, and luthier services. I enjoy Double Bassist and some of the jazz mags. The ads in most magazines now serve as a portal to the advertiser's websites anyway.

A typical web session will usually include a look at my Email, a glance at the news headlines, and then a stop at this forum and at TalkBass DB forums. Magazines don't even enter the picture unless I'm on the road and looking for something to read on the plane. I'd rather just Email you, or any of my other aquaintances whose opinion I value, if I have a specific question regarding a given product.
