Same here. Not sure we'll hear about the course again in ther near or distant future. Pity.

LOL - I waited to see if anything would happen when my post count hit 666, but no, nothing of note, not even Maiden on the radio Anyway, congrats on your thousand - it's good to be an active member

I've tweeted this - will retweet nearer to the date

Clarky had the good idea of writing on Danny Thompson's wall on FB, asking about the course, and I joined in - here is the exchange: [quote] (Clarky) Hi there! Any news of replacement dates for the double bass residential course, Danny and team? (Silvia) I was going to email Bree this coming week! I would be grateful for any info too. [url="https://www.facebook.com/therealdannythompson?ref=stream"]Danny Thompson[/url] Unfortunately no date in the near future. You will be the first to know if anything does crop up! - Bree [/quote] Sigh.

I've only got 3 left, and they look like this (with Ped's contact details on the back):

All the best! Would be awesome to meet up

You're correct, there isn't much around. This might help a little. I haven't used these sites, so I can't recommend them through experience, but they are among my bookmarks, which means I must have made a search at some point in the past, and come up with them [url="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46"]http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB"]http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB[/url] I can't see the plugin images on this PC, so I'm not sure whether the sheets are tab-only (horror!!) or notation and tab. Hopefully the latter.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1360459719' post='1970899'] Please tell me it was rubbish and I didn't miss anything... [/quote] It's all happening on 2nd and 3rd March, so there are still a few weeks to go. Would be lovely to see you there if you could make it?

I'll be there waiting with my trusty camera!

Excellent! It's going to be awesome. Just to clarify, after seeing a comment on Fb - we won't be able to sell any merch at the show. We'll give away a few lanyards and basically be there for members to meet up. Hopefully James "Jimryan" will be able to attend too, and bring the Bass Relay BC Baton so we can take a few photos and pass it on to the next participant. I'll get down to creating a meetup schedule asap, and publish it through the usual channels

Hehehe... will do I'll have a few blank business cards at the show, so that we can write our real names and BC names and then proudly wear them all weekend

Bump - yes we'll have a few BC lanyards for you when you come say hi

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1360411696' post='1969925'] Hope to be there on the Saturday. [/quote] Excellent! Haven't seen you for ages. Will be good to catch up

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1360407148' post='1969836'] Add me to the list please :-) Never been to one of these before and will be traveling down from Scotland so for those 2 reasons I'll definitely make the mistake of intending to go both days. :-) What's the done thing - do people generally bring an instrument with them or do we just wander around watching other folks play? CB [/quote] They are now selling weekend tickets! Naughty of them, as they weren't available at first. You don't usually bring your own instruments to the show, you just go there, enjoy the masterclasses and performances and wander around the stands GASsing like mad

Thumbs up here for my NS NXT5, great stuff, so unbelievably easy to play it really feels like a bass guitar stood on end. A gripe, though - the very functional stand looks absolutely horrid, especially compared to the shapely form of a real double bass...

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1360334536' post='1968857'] I suppose this is all personal but I just cant listen to Metallica anymore I overdosed on them when I was in a cover band & now I just cant take in their music anymore. [/quote] Possibly also because - how should I put it - they're crap now...

Excellent. It's in the diary. Thanks guys. Tweeting it as we speak.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1360256171' post='1967550'] I'm gonna go on Monday [/quote] Joining Wayne and his metal detector then? Looks like it's going to be a good one, and maybe - just maybe - one with less slapping than usual

Are you sending any?

I have now got most of the stuff you'll see at the BC corner. Make sure you stop by:

Come and say hi! I intend to post the list of meetup times on here before the show, if I have time to create it.

LOL

Yup, and this time you got there immediately
