The first one I was going to was at 10:30, and I arrived around 10 minutes before that.

LOL but we only spent a few minutes talking to Jason

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1330854223' post='1563674'] I can't answer this question. There isn't a category for "I'm just in it for the chicks!" [/quote] But quality chicks don't fall for that. They only find real talent sexy So you probably have to make do with slappers (of the non-musical variety)

I voted "I practice a lot and only play or record at home for my own pleasure". I guess "but I'm still not as good as I'd like to be" is missing at the end of that statement There are currently two other BC souls in my club

Us metalheads are friends with the Devil, we might put in a good word for you...

Hi Spencer, and welcome. You're too young by a long shot to die even the happiest man on Earth. Keep up the good work!

Hello, hungry one and welcome to Basschat! Plenty of lefties here, and some of us even play lefty instruments! Get stuck in...

Billyapple, i missed you by a whisker a couple of times this afternoon! Freddy, I remember the website mentioning that masterclass but it disappeared soon after, and doesn't appear in the show literature at all. Are we sure we didn't read last year's lineup, which they left on the website for far too long? I can't remember now.

Back home! I met Shelley (seashell) early on in the day, then spent most of the time flitting from one masterclass or gig to another. We were unable to identify most of you guys who were there, though, and hoped you would recognise us. Rumple, you should have said hi! And seashell was with me while I was talking to Jason of Rotosound.

Get well soon, Lozz - don't risk your health for the show if you don't feel OK. I do hope a good night's sleep will rid you of your ailments and allow you to join us.

If any drummers are reading, is my cheque in the post??

I don't find dr****rs offensive - after all, we have to aim to become one with them, musically speaking, don't we? And some dr****rs are - or at least used to be at the beginning - the driving force behind their bands; take for instance Lars Ulrich of Metallica.

Welcome David! Love the idea of "g****r" as a swearword and will now torment my g****rist friends with it

YAY!! Masterclass tomorrow at 4pm. Will be there!

Weird. Not had that problem on my HB, despite its undeniable cheapness... I would probably sand the neck very lightly with the least abrasive sandpaper you can find. But hopefully one of the experts on here will be able to suggest a better solution.

Hi, blitz, and welcome! You mention GAS... you've come to the right place. Just have a look around - but lock your credit cards in a secure place first

Welcome, Paul!

Unless you live around 20 minutes by bus from the venue and could, in theory, even walk home from there (I've done that before, in fact)... I'm among the lucky ones in this case. On the other hand, I'm in trouble when music events like this are held at Excel, on the opposite side of town - it takes me 2 hours to get there and 2 more to get home, and that's without leaving London...

Parking in the whole of London is either near-impossible or daylight robbery, I'm afraid. Hope someone here has some good advice for you (I don't drive so I can't offer any help, unfortunately).

Yup, we'll be on the mobile and find each other - and the guys - before lunchtime!

Excellent post, Henry - you beat me to it. Olympia is quite near Hammersmith and Earl's Court stations, and a bus from either can do the trick if the tube fails to deliver.

LOL, but he's the main topic of only around a quarter of this thread, despite it having his name in the title!

Well, I guess a bluejay can still go "cheep cheep" with no particular reason, then ...

Cheep Cheep! Looking forward to wandering randomly and bumping into you all!

You didn't mislead us - your original link took to the Amazon entry for the book and the price was stated clearly. I mean, it's not like it's very expensive...
