That, and NAMM is approaching, with all those shiny new models of everything being introduced to the eagerly awaiting market... Being a lefty saves me from some GAS, but not enough to stop my credit card itching.

Oh my, I had to google "Kala U-bass" as I really wasn't sure exactly what the hell that thing might be. Personally, I'd prefer the Ampeg...!

Thank you Garey - that will delay my GAS for a little while, then

Heh...

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1358452968' post='1939592'] Thumb?!? Or do you mean Triumph? [/quote] Ah, well spotted, thanks. Triumph. Corrected

Garey, will the Rockbass Triumph be available left-handed too? The blurb doesn't specify, as far as I can see. I'm not in a hurry to gain another upright, but I'm gassing, so at the moment this question is mostly out of curiosity Thanks for all your help and info!

Thank you, Jim - this idea is looking better day by day! I'll tweet this thread some time tomorrow - er, today in fact - and keep BC's followers up to date as and when each next step happens.

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1358355327' post='1937684'] Seriously, the place is overrated. [/quote] Only bits of it are - the rest is simply awesome [I wasn't born in London, or even in this country, so I'm not biassed - just truthful.]

Only in spirit for now - but sooner or later my curiosity will have the better of me, and I'll organise a holiday for the purpose Have a great, profitable time there and keep us posted!

Aw, how harsh of you - it's their 30th anniversary model, and I want one! (Can't have one though - despite being cheap, it's only sold in righty versions.)

I have so Liked the company on FB - as myself for the time being, but I might be tempted to log onto FB as BC and do the same

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1358157135' post='1933796'] [/quote] I don't mind this! And the bass clef detail is cute...

[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1358269450' post='1936041'] Yes, we've got quite a few new products for 2013! Rockbass Star Bass, Rockbass W bass, Rockbass Triumph Lite, Rockbass Corvette 32" Medium Scale 5-string, Rockbass Dark Lord, the Warwick Streamer CV, BC 10 combo amp, LWA1000 Class D amp head, WC210 cabinet, and WC810 cabinet! (On the Framus side, we've got the Panthera 8-string guitar, 27" scale!) Everything is up on the website, but will be officially debuted at NAMM 2013 soon! [/quote] I remember enquiring, in a PM through the Warwick forum, about the existence of a Rockbass version of the Triumph some time ago... at the time the person who replied to me said there was no plan to develop one. Since I couldn't - and still can't - afford a "proper" Triumph, let alone a lefty one, I finally went ahead and bought an NS Design NXT5 at the beginning of last year. Now this Triumph Lite, if offered in a lefty version, is opening a new set of possibilities, yum As for the "W" bass, it's a 30th anniversary one-off model, is it? I'm sure it's a good-humoured tribute, not something that aims to steal the market from beneath high-end models nor a sneaky way to try and enslave us all through advertising...! And - Garey, I so wish I could be at NAMM too. Maybe one day. Please keep us all posted about it on here and on the Warwick forum.

Grr, stop right there, you guys - you're giving me huge GAS, but for my sins I can only look at and touch 99% of double basses - and Jack's Ampeg Baby - without being able to play them. The remaining (lefty) 1% is still proving elusive Ad, I've obviously bookmarked your blog

Note to self: tweet tomorrow. And this is also a bump

Erm... any news?

For ease of cross-reference, the participants thread is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196563-bass-relay-participants/"]http://basschat.co.u...y-participants/[/url] I will tweet the relevant topic again when things are under way. Thanks again, Jim.

If I can add my tuppence, I think we should collect for BC rather than for charity - after all charity begins at home etc. and the site is in dire need of cash.

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1358076770' post='1932586'] If photos (at hand over or being played) are taken, are we going to pin them to a separate area on this site? also, if we do it for charity, which one? my choice would be cancer research. This idea seems to really gained momentum [/quote] I guess someone could collect all the photos and write a (photo-)blog to publish on here, and also spread the word about it on FB and Twitter.

I've just tweeted this thread and will tweet the "real" one periodically, when the relay is up and running. Thanks Jim, looks great fun!
