Ooooo I'm soo there, Barrie! See you tomorrow!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1425680844' post='2709795'] Can ear plugs be purchased at the show? [/quote] There may even be some free earplugs, IIRC.

And I've finally got round to selecting the pics of last Saturday gig at The Black Horse in Greenford. Much fun was had by all! [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8Z6rhA"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8Z6rhA[/url]

[quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1425665197' post='2709591'] I realise I've left it a bit late, but there's no answer from the organiser's phone no - any idea what price under 14's admission is?? [/quote] Try PMing Joel McIver and/or the LBGS account that's on this forum (best do both). They may get an alert email and reply.

I'll be walking around with a BC lanyard around my neck, two cameras hanging from my shoulders and a tablet in my hand. I'll be visiting all the stands and trying to catch as many live shows and masterclasses as possible. Everybody please do feel free to stop me and say hi, and pose for my cameras - I want to take pics of absolutely everything and everybody, and then inflict them all on you guys through my usual blog!

Yup, I only know the year because I looked at the serial number on the headstock when I received the bass. Still a great bargain, mind - the neck and the fingerboard especially are fantastic.

Probably Corvette Pros from 2010, I bought one last month and had a bit of a prob with the bridge, but I fixed it (see under Repairs and Technical)

@ peted - put your BC name on a card an place it in your lanyard, so it's not just less official but we'll know who you are! @ Shell - see you there!

BC lanyard anyone? I'll be wearing one, and might have one or two spares to give away.

Regardless of whether Basschat will be there officially, those of us who attend the show can agree to meet up in a certain place at a certain time once or twice a day, for instance, at the cafe or at one of the larger stands. Would anyone be up for that?

Just in - Status are going to be at the show.

A very colourful show at The Bell On The Green in Bedfont last Saturday! [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8HV62W"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8HV62W[/url]

I should be there on both days, taking photos of absolutely everything and everyone. I will be wearing my Basschat lanyard, and I look more or less like my avatar, so if you see me, come up and say hi and have your photo taken for my customary ginormous LBGS blog

Tweeted as Basschat. I hope you'll recover the gear.

No Warwick stand at the LBGS this year, I'm afraid. Confirmed by Hans-Peter. [quote]Dear Silvia, its true we will not be attending the London Bass Guitar Show this year. Due to the fact we are busy with the Ladies BassCamp and we will not be able to properly coordinate both events. Best regards, HP.[/quote]

Haha! I'll try doing some nagging tomorrow, when there's a chance he'll be online

I could always pester Hans-Peter on Facebook and nag him until he gets a small stand at the LBGS and sends in a few basses ...

I see your point - Retailers have to make a selection of models from each company, as they can't bring their entire stock. I imagine, though, that if there are more than one big retailer at the show, we may have a reasonable choice of models to try. I attend the show for the masterclasses and performances as much as to ogle the gear, and i haven't been disappointed so far (20+ years attending what used to be called the London Music Show, then the LIMS, then the LBGS).

I'm in touch with Steve and Sara of Blaze Publishing, and put some of the doubts expressed here to them. This is what they said to me: [quote]Be assured we are doing all we can to ensure there is a varied and extensive range of exhibits for our visitors to peruse when at the show. We are aware that some 'big' names are not there in their own right, but we have a number of retailers planning to come to the show who will be having a range of stock on their stands. So, for example, there may not be a Fender stand, but I'm sure the retailers will have some Fender product at the show.[/quote]

Hanwell Carnival Fundraising gig at The Viaduct, W7, on 12/02/15:

Haha! I never throw away bass-related stuff. I even keep the shipping boxes for as long as possible, usually until I stumble on one of them and nearly fall flat on my face (after which HSE takes over and they get recycled!). I have all the little hex keys and labels etc. the basses came with

I love that! Pity they only make it in righty models. Slightly off-topic, but I'd like to mention the thread I've created about the problem with my Corvette's bridge.
