that's a lovely jazz.

richard just provided the best courier service on basschat. through random chance he offered to collect a bass from shonks (above) in essex and deliver it to me in Bristol just because hes a nice bloke and happend to be coming this way. so despite never having bought anything id heartily recomend him. deal in confidence and thank you again for bringing the bass. all the best steve

just received the bass richard (grangur) collected from steve above. really happy. all as advertised and a really good price. hes a great guy to deal with and i happily would again. all the best.Steve

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1429226571' post='2749561'] is this as separate from http://basschat.co.uk/topic/253741-so-whos-up-for-another-south-west-bash/ [/quote] yes. It looked like the south west one had gone quiet and the talk of exeter was quite a long way away. now the south west looks to be happening near glasto it would make sense not have them too close together and may attract some of us south.

is ashcott near glastonbury?

cheers I'll have a look

yamaha bb1100s active on the p pickup generally all eq set to full. into korg pitchblack and dod eq for ocasional boost into oeange bass terror eq flat gain approx 10 oclock for a bit of growl into barefaced compact. i generally play finger style quite hard near the neck as i can't get our of the habit of trying to sound like Steve harris and the ox from when i was a teenager.

the other comment I've seen about them is toaster or non toaster pickups. is the much difference tonally or is it mostly aesthetics?

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1428879143' post='2745657'] My sister lives in Bristol; I should be in the area in May, with any luck. Might be able to drop by with mine for an hour or two. [/quote] that would be fantastic. Thank you.

that's not a bad shout. Thank you. I'm not sure when I'll next make it over the bridge but if nothing closer comes up I'll be in touch. really appreciate it. Cheers

is not a definite want to buy at the moment but a want to try.

Anyone fancy one. I've never been to one but would like to. i know a couple of possible venues and happy to get involved with some of the organising. let me know if you fancy it!

I've got real gas for a Peavey T40 at the moment but I've never played one. This is a hopeful request that there is a local (Bath/Bristol) bcer that has one that would let me have a try before i pull the trigger on one. on paper they sound like everything id like but it'd like to try one first. If you can help out drop me a pm. Thanks in advance Steve

Has this event died a death? I'd still be up for something Bristol/Bath way if the Exeter/Dorset one isn't happening.
