I've just read the whole of this book, which is clear, exhaustive and well written. [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Sound-Operators-Handbook-Guides/dp/1617805599"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Sound-Operators-Handbook-Guides/dp/1617805599[/url]

I'll be taking lots of photos as always, too - of people and GAS-inducing gear, possibly at the same time Oh, and of course we'll also organise some sort of "Not-the-LBGS event" at some point, for those who can't or won't attend the show

Nationwide good, Mastercard bad, very bad.

Absolutely nobody? What a pity.

They show them to you in £ on the website, but they charge you the equivalent in € on your credit card.

Needless to say, we want to see photos of absolutely every stage, Tom! Sounds awesome

Yup, still a good credit card to have for Europe (it does charge you more for using it outside of Europe though).

True, but I think you can get forms to fill and then get the maths - and any refund - sorted at Customs.

[quote name='Stingray5' timestamp='1390414965' post='2345242'] looking at the cover of BGM on the LBGS website, is it just me, or do Dave Swift and Jack look more alike as time goes by?!? [/quote] Let's see which one of them is first to be mistaken for the other, then. It's bound to happen, right?

LOL true, no extra taxes when buying from Europe. Am I correct in believing that, in theory, you could get their VAT off the price and re-pay VAT on arrival of the bass in the UK, but that would only be worth the hassle if their VAT percentage was a lot higher than ours. Keep an eye on the Sterling to Euro exchange rate and buy at the best moment, if you can keep your GAS under control

Anyone mentioned Stingray5 (Steve)'s prog outfit, Landmarq? We saw them recently at the Peel in Kingston and I'm still in awe of their musicianship. Oh, and the songs aren't bad either! [url="http://landmarq.net/home.htm"]http://landmarq.net/home.htm[/url]

I am so going to make sure I see you at some point, Steve. And there are also proggy masterclasses to entice you [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/masterclass/colin-edwin-of-porcupine-tree-and-lorenzo-feliciati/"]http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/masterclass/colin-edwin-of-porcupine-tree-and-lorenzo-feliciati/[/url]

Haha!! Loving this thread

I'll make sure not to spend all of my time in the BC corner - we'll probably have timeslots like last year - and instead also walk round to say hi to all you guys working or performing at other stands. All hail the Brotherhood of Bass

I am a member of a FB group for pub and function bands, and one fellow member is looking for a bassist. Here is his ad - if you're interested, reply or PM me and I'll put you in touch. Thanks [quote] Mark Townsend Looking for a bass player, capable of playing some Funk, RnB & soul - not expecting Mark King but a good solid player with a good groove, good equipment and transport, gigs waiting, Eastbourne and surrounding areas, Cheers Mark [/quote]
