I have in conjunction with John East and Aaron Armstrong been developing a multi coil pickup with two coils per string. This is connected to the preamp via an electronic mixing board. They have been designed to work in conjunction with the new 03 dual filter preamp. However it is not an attempt to copy the Wal pickup it will be in the ballpark but we did not reverse engineer a pickup and to be honest nor would I even if I could. As you would expect these pickups are not cheap with a lot of work involved in building them but having spent some time with the prototypes they are worth the effort.

I had a Chris Eccleshall bass made which had the pickups/preamp and bridge supplied by Pete. The sound is down to the pickup and pre-amp combination the rest of the instrument is fairly standard in construction and materials. Pete showed me all the parts in the pickup when I was down picking up my 4 string. He also had a six string with a passive version of the pre-amp which sounded really good but I don't know if that was ever taken anywhere.

Found out again.

Round two at the London Bass Guitar Show. A good day yesterday the noise issue was much better than last year in our part of the hall so that made for a far less tiring day. Also made talking to potential customers much easier and more productive. Show special offer on the Graft Recurve 5 left hander. Down to £600.00 for the day. This offer applies on line as well so feel free to message me or drop me a mail.

ACG and John East will be on our stand please feel free to drop by and try the basses and preamps. Cheers Alan

Thanks to all concerned for an excellent weekend. Hope to see you all next year with a few new faces as well.

Anyone with lanyards and badges from previous years please bring with you. Alan

Excellent.

Still one weekend ticket left.

Excellent,thanks very much. Do you want to have a play along with the band. If so drop Dave a line. Alan Still one weekend ticket available.

Thanks Tom. One weekend left.

A week to go. Still two weekend tickets available. Remember if you are coming down on the Sunday to get a ticket in advance there is no paying on the door.

Some new additions. Andrew Dempster of the Manchester Bass Lounge will be in attendance for the whole weekend. He will be brining a selection of interesting basses including the new Gordon-Smith Gryphon.

Any luck.

Couple of guys coming down from Aberdeen. Get in touch with Neepheid on this forum.

Bump.

It would be good to see a bit more support from north of the border,currently only 3 Scots with tickets. There is even a guy coming from The Netherlands which is above and beyond.

Hi Good to hear from you. Hopefully next year. Alan

I would have liked to come down to this but it is on the same weekend as the Moffat Bass Bash. I can think of three or four other guys that would probably go to this if it was not on the same weekend.

Thanks.

Do you have contact details for Steven I can't get in touch with him the mail address I have is bouncing back.

There has been a side by side between the two cabs at the Yorkshire bash in Harrogate. It was a pre production version of the EAD.

You could come to the Moffat bass bash where there will be plenty of amps and cabs to try in the one room. We will even have a band for context if needed.
