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!

Test

When I click on some emails from BC alerting me of new posts in the Relay thread, I get redirected to the Subscribe page: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/cp/8-subscribe/"]http://basschat.co.uk/cp/8-subscribe/[/url]. The same happens to those of us trying to replyh to a couple of posts on the topic in the Site Isssues forum. Weird.

Congrats Hernando - you need to have your priorities right, don't you. But hopefully we'll be at the LBGS again next year, and we'll want to meet you and your partner

...or a pair of killer heels?

Loving this! Thanks James. I've tweeted the lot, with links to this thread and the BCBassRelay FB page. I'll be waiting for you at the LBGS! \m/ \m/

[quote name='Platypus' timestamp='1361142024' post='1981908'] Not sure if this has been already posted, I quickly scanned the thread and couldn't see a reference..... There will be a lot of planned disruption on the tube on both the Saturday and the Sunday. Worth checking here when planning your journey: [url="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=13"]http://www.tfl.gov.u....aspx?offset=13[/url] [/quote] Good call. Another version of the works calendar is here: [url="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/livetravelnews/planned-works/calendar/default.aspx"]http://www.tfl.gov.uk/livetravelnews/planned-works/calendar/default.aspx[/url] Luckily, there are several buses that stop right in front of the Olympia Conference Centre.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1361043302' post='1980356'] Lee doesn't play upright...what on earth are they doing?! [/quote] Dunno, but Warwick have been sharing this... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjNB9aJoPHo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjNB9aJoPHo[/url]

I'm afraid I can't help on this - the Triumph Lite was launched at NAMM in January, so it's quite new, and it may not be in many stores yet... you could try asking Garey (Warwick_Official), to see if he has any info on who might be selling or at least showcasing it in the UK.

There is - only 4 strings and only right-handed for the moment.

Yup, I simply tend to think of Catalan as less international than Castellano for welcomes and similar, but luckily all we need here is English, so that everybody's on the same page

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361035479' post='1980175'] Won't be a good start to the relay if there isn't [/quote] LOL, touché... I meant in Portsmouth [i]and[/i] on here, I guess

Tonight's the night! Anybody in Portsmouth going to James' gig?

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1360958288' post='1979164'] ¡Benvingut! [/quote] Er, that's Catalan... Welcome Diego! Plenty of Fender J freaks here, and you'll feel right in

The forum is definitely growing fast in membership size, and sometimes attracting the wrong kind of attention. In turn, some of the established members lose their patience. The resulting aggro is not what we need. Thanks for your hard work, all of you admins and mods. PS sorry Colin i meant to mention you not Steve in the title. Big thanks to you both, though.

LOL I'm not remotely as interesting as that, I'm afraid...

And this is the A4 poster that will be placed on the bass when we take photos of it at the LBGS:

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1360952826' post='1979001'] Flying V meets double bass ! ....I smell spandex !! [/quote] Great pic Nah, no spandex in the thrash metal look, it's blue or black denim and minimal accessories, in fact, as the photo shows

LOL - that newsletter from Warwick got my attention too As electric uprights, Triumphs are cool IMO, such an unusual shape. I've never been able to play one though - I'm actually waiting for Warwick to produce an affodable lefty Rockbass Triumph sooner or later! - so I'm not sure whether such shape is as ergonomic to play as the traditional long-and-thin EUB shape.

You bet I now really want to see it, touch it, and not play it, as always [bloody righty models!]
