Coloured rings at the other end? D'Addario Chromes Edit: as in this I mean

Thank you John (Edit: and Nik, who cross-posted with me)! It was great to meet you and your lovely other half (both of you guys - I knew Loraine already). It was an awesome day

Mini-blog of the mini-bash finally online! See here: [url="http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-mO"]http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-mO[/url] As I said to those who were there, I'll need help with most of your BC names, so I've numbered some of the shots to allow you to PM me or post here saying "I'm in pic no. 8 " or whatever, if you'd like to be mentioned Thanks again

*opens the thread, laughs at the jokes, scratches head at most album/song titles, opts against entering the fray with obscure Italian heavy metal albums, leaves*

LOL it's all in good humour! I'm now rummaging for a pic of Jack's DB to put on the event page, so I don't have to rely on dodgy pics downloaded off t'internet

LOL damn - rumbled! Couldn't find a good one of a DB scroll... I may replace the pic with one of a bridge.

Last Friday's gig at the Kings Head, Shepperton - another first. [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2AHEiv"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2AHEiv[/url]

Great stuff! Thanks Nik and Loraine. I'm working on my own photos and blog - stay tuned

I could pin the thread right now, but I have asked the mods if it's possible to thin the forest of already existing pins at the top of General Discussion first, to avoid overcrowding. This thread is more useful and relevant than several of the currently pinned threads.

Lively and friendly music pub by the river - come along if you're in the area

Topic moved to Bass Guitars as nothing to do with Gigs.

Second gig in 48 hours - last Saturday at the George Inn Walton, surrounded by a lot of dancing punters! [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2TF16L"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2TF16L[/url]

Last Friday's gig at The White Bear in Ruislip - we had a bit of fun with the lights

Thank you Nik and Loraine for organising the bash, and everyone who came along. Predictably, I took about a million photos and wil be working on them asap for my blog, while also comparing notes with Loraine. Watch this space

Jack and I will get on the road later this morning - after The Gig From Hell on Friday evening and a great but tiring gig last night. Not sure we'll be able to arrive in time to catch Jake's talk, so if anyone can take a pic or two of him, I can then add them to my mini-blog of the mini-bash See you later!

Couldn't make it this year - hopefully next. Enjoy! (And gi's a few pics and/or a blog, please )

Gig on Friday, gig on Saturday, and West Sussex Bass Bash on Sunday! Come along to one or more

Not that easily. Double basses have a bass bar under the E string, and switching the strings around - even after re-doing the nut and the grooves in the bridge - doesn't quite make a righty a lefty. Also the soundpost will need to be moved.

I'm awaiting the final schedule, and then I'll create an info doc for all of us to download. Stay tuned

Another first, last Saturday 23rd - the Bell on the Green in East Bedfont. Great fun [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk1RDttF"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk1RDttF[/url]

Dani's adventure in London is over (but for how long?), and this was the band's farewell gig on 1st August. [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2ahmf4"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsk2ahmf4[/url]
