[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1465468530' post='3068473'] Oops. [/quote] Makes no difference in practice! The Zoom has a brilliant microphone too. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1465470020' post='3068492'] I know. We only have to listen to you playing 'Happy Birthday' to know how excellent the sound is! [/quote] You should have been there...

Thanks Jack. Both the videos were recorded with your Zoom Q2. I'm happy that the sound is good here. Basschat received a few disparaging comments on Twitter about the previous video, the pedal shootout, where a constant hum could be heard. I had to point out that the hum was what we heard in the room, and it wasn't added to the mix by the camera.

I have now uploaded Nick (Doctor of the Bass) Smith's talk about SimS pickups. Still working on the photos from the bash. http://youtu.be/OvwumLSkXzU

And here we finally have some pics of Mick's mystery bass as given a new lease of life by Andy

As per my post on the other thread, we now have the entire shootout video, 25 mins long, here: http://youtu.be/8swPdmfrP0o

The shootout video is now on Youtube! just over 25 minutes long. http://youtu.be/8swPdmfrP0o

Following this, so I know when to pin the event to the top and spread the word. Good work, guys.

I loved every minute of the bash! Many thanks to Mick, Chris, Louise, Graham and Valerie Poulton, and everyone else who spent time and money organising and supporting the event. I took 650 (six hundred and fifty!) photos and recorded the pedal shootout and Doctor of the Bass's talk in their entirety. All to follow soon. In the meantime, a few light-hearted shots.

Topic moved from Introductions to General Discussion. I'll tweet this thread to spread the word. Good luck, David.

Easier to copy the text and re-post, if you don't mind. I'm locking this one. Ta

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1464469537' post='3059723'] I have a split coil Precision pickup on one shoulder. Only fair to point out that it's a Seymour Duncan. [/quote] Here it is. It's a rather large tattoo, so it wraps around the shoulder a bit, hence the apparent distortion in this pic. It's in fact a perfect representation of a Seymour Duncan.

Visited the shop this afternoon, said hi to the Toms, saw a lot of nice basses! Lefty models are well represented. I managed to stop myself from going home with a gorgeous lefty Streamer, at least this time. Happy Jack's GAS had the better of him, though, so we now have a new bass family member awaiting its photo session and NBD thread...

Edit: Sorry Kendall...!

Thanks Rob - must visit one of these days. I see that no matter how big the new room, it's already filled to capacity with basses!

I do see your point... try not to look at him.

No, seriously, anyone have any idea why the bins have '89dB' on the back? The noise of the machine collecting them?

I'm having a wild guess that the real focus of this month's cover is in fact that tall guy on the left holding an Ibanez... (what's his name again?) rather than Jools himself.

[quote name='The-Ox' timestamp='1464088736' post='3056414'] Can you decide on the day if you can turn up? [/quote] Of course you can.
