Thank you guys for a great gig! I'll be in touch soon with a DVD of photos and vids.

LOL, and I can help on the location of Wetherspoon pubs - cheap and cheerful

LOL maybe not... but it's still a little beauty

Well that actually looks very nice!

I'd say Camden tends to be primarily for youngish rock-metal-hardcore types. Unless the two of you fit that demographic, I'd suggest you stay closer to the centre of town. Yes, it's tourist-y and expensive, but it offers practically everything you may like to do. What do you think you'd like to do in London? Cinema? Theatre? Big music gig? Clubbing? Classical concert? Eating out and then off to an exotic bar? Let us know and we'll try to help. For instance, a place like the South Bank has many attractions of different kinds, some of which may even be free.

Well, it would have cost £369 new as a rigthy model, but lefty is another kettle of fish, they are usually more expensive - when they exist at all - so I guess you did the right thing. Info and photos please

Haha, and you and Steve look so cool with your dancing in front of the band. It was huuge fun to be there and take photos - and also no fewer than 5 videos!

Great to see the Jetsonics guys, Nige, Steve and several other musicians and their halves last night. Fantastic evening. Here are some photos (links to a Flickr set) - [url="http://www.flickr.com//photos/bluejay_my_photos/sets/72157632839220772/show/"]http://www.flickr.co...839220772/show/[/url]

Absolutely agree with Nige! Working on some photos as we speak

From what I understand there won't be any tickets. Last year, visitors were supposed to collect free tickets from certain stands, but this was scrapped at the last moment, and we were simply told to queue at the door of the auditorium or place where the masterclass or gig was happening. This is very likely to be this year's setup as well.

Ha! Missed this... sounds great, Shell - go for it, good luck, and keep us all posted \m/ \m/

Thanks Barrie! I'd happily get one pass for the Sunday, please, to be there with you guys and the BC table. It's going to be simply awesome

Good Rock on with the #BCBassRelay! \m/ \m/

Excellent stuff! Get him to sign up to BC if he isn't a member already

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1361303226' post='1984298'] I'd bet there are plenty of "guitar owners" who have written and performed world famous songs that are far more popular than many 'musicians' ever manage. [/quote] Yes, but then I suppose there are also plenty of "singers" who can't utter a word without feeding it through an auto-tune. Does popularity count more tham professionalism? If one's job is being a musician/singer/whatever, wouldn't you expect that person to be at least reasonably competent? This is not meant as a luddite comment - machines are useful and can help, but they shouldn't be substitutes for a modicum of skill.

LOL, that's me seeing Metallica with Newsted back in the day!

Just a quick update to say that I'll have to re-work the meetup schedule for the Sunday, as David Ellefson has been added to the Live Stage performances on Sunday. I'll publish a revised schedule asap.

Thanks Chris! Tweeted.

I have been asked by fellow BC member Alex Lofoco to give the forum a shout about his clinic tour of the UK and Italy and his masterclass at the London Bass Guitar Show. He's being supported by Laurus Basses and Rotosound - and he'll be at their stands giving the masterclass. Check this out: [quote] Alex Lofoco will be on the road with his 'double thumbing' bass masterclass in March 2013. Eleven dates spread over the UK and Italy in collaboration with Laurus basses [url="http://www.laurus.it"]www.laurus.it[/url] and Rotosound strings [url="http://www.rotosound.com"]www.rotosound.com[/url]. For the Londoners, Alex will be demoing during the London Bass Guitar Show at the Rotosound (Stand number D11) and Laurus (Stand number B5) booths and will visit the ICMP on Wednesday the 6th. [url="http://icmp.co.uk/instituteEventDetails.asp?ID=508"]http://icmp.co.uk/in...ails.asp?ID=508[/url] Check out the other dates in the calendar in case you are around for a not-to-be-missed lecture. Also check Alex's video lesson where he explains the basics of 'double thumbing' technique...and for the bravest he provided the full transcription of his improv too!

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1361273809' post='1983583'] Yeah, I get the same - the subscription only applies to market place, is that correct?? [/quote] Should be so, but i'd expect an announcement of some sort before implementation.

It wasn't the word "subscribe" that triggered the page and blocked access, but a generalised glitch on the desktop version. I seem to be OK to post now.

I seem to be able to post now!
