Clarky

Back from game Long day, started at 4am. I now have addresses for thisnameistaken, owen, TheG and Mr_Bassman. So I need PMs with postal addresses from [s]BeerOfBass[/s], BassBod, jwbassman, [s]TPJ[/s], [s]fatback[/s] [s]and Steve[/s]. I will get back to each of you by PM once I've worked out cost and can confirm posting your clamps etc. I got a typically rubbish airport Euro/£ rate of 1.121 so it will be about £4.40-odd per clamp plus postage and the neutrik locking socket with clamp for Steve will be just over a tenner plus postage. Edit: now have TPJ, BeeroftheBass, Steve and fatback's addresses

Just landed in London. I have a bagful of clamps etc. Heading off to the match tonight so will probably post Frida or Saturdayy. If you could all drop me a PM with your postal addresses I will confirm what I have and the cost. Cheers Clarky

No worries, TheG. Will update this thread Thursday to confirm I have the critters in hand. If anyone goes into hiding, I can always start up a new business venture, Clarky's Clamps

[quote name='TheG' timestamp='1353365352' post='1874370'] Sorry just found this post any chance of 2 jack clamps. If not or I am too late no worries. Great that you have thought of this for everyone. Thanks regardless. [/quote] OK added to the shopping list!

Said quietly, I find the TalkBass double bass forum quite helpful

Grand total (incl 2 each for TPJ and Fatback) - 17 jack clamps, 1 XLR clamp, 1 locking socket/clamp Think I'd better call it quits at that or I will run out of carrying capacity!

Sure thing!

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1353338911' post='1873802'] Will you be taking a Transit, Clarky? [/quote] Fortunately the clamps are very small! Any use to you Roger?

Double bass anyone? I have to have a car (or taxi). Its one trip with DB and another to get amp (combo or head +cab; preamp and leads stuffed into padded bag side pockets) plus DB stand. Trying to carry it all in one go is a recipe for disaster ... ie, smacking or snagging the DB on doorways or stairwells

Have you gone into your profile page and deleted old attachments (on the 'Manage your attachments' tab), making space for new ones?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1353280580' post='1873292'] Excellent. Let us know if you want paying beforehand, though I guess if your schedule is uncertain you may not. You're definitely owed a pint by a substantial chunk of basschat! [/quote] Nope, let me ensure I buy the clamps etc first and then I will PM everyone individually for addresses and let everyone know the cost (will be Euro 5 per clamp, at whatever exchange rate I get on Wednesday, plus 60p postage I guess)

Hey Chris, I was kind of hoping you'd be on earlier than that as I get up for work at 5.30am and Nambucca is an hour from where I live so I wouldn't get home until midnight or so. Best put me at 50:50. Any other BC'ers potentially going?

Nige and band (I'm sure Kit wouldn't want it put it like that, but I'm a bassist!) were excellent tonight - they were very good when I saw them before at the Half Moon a few months back but there was (even) more energy tonight. Very good and original band. Was also great to see Mrs silddx (Diane) out and about, despite her trials and tribulations

He does do mail order but the cost is prohibitive when buying a cheap item like this, which is why I offered. Gwaaan, do you want me to put you down for one or two?

Still hoping to make it Jigster - what time are you guys onstage?

OK, so thats Clarky - 2 jack clamps TNIT - 2 jack Mr_B - 2 jack Beer of B - 1 jack, 1 XLR clamp BassBod - 2 jack jwb - 2 jacks (I will double-check these fit locking socket) Owen - 1 jack Steve - 1 jack, 1 locking socket/clamp Grand total - 13 jack clamps, 1 XLR clamp, 1 locking socket/clamp Please let me know if this is wrong or any additions. FYI, I emailed Lando and they have plenty in stock so the only risk is my schedule doesn't allow me to time to pop in (right now its looking good)

It all started when waynepunkdude stated on Facebook two days ago that he liked early Coldplay. The end of the world has started

Its unusable for me currently

Yowza. Thats sounds horrid! Hope it sorts itself quickly. FWIW, I fell down some stairs two weeks before my first ever gig on double bass (a couple of years back) and broke two metacarpals and dislocated/broke two fingers. Perhaps rashly I took the bandages/strappings off and played the gig. It can be done! Bloody hurt afterwards mind ... Anyways, rest, anti-inflammatories, ice and strapping and your Stingray playing days should return quickly

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1353177309' post='1872493'] You sure that wasn't a thread on the RNIB forum? [/quote] I think waynepunkdude said "he would"

[quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1353171958' post='1872409'] I thought that said Bum him. [/quote] Well John (WH) did do rather well in a thread about the dishiest BC'er, IIRC

My only suggestion would be to lift the bass in the mix as I like the dubby line and its a little quiet to my ears. I think it would be more driving. Thats a very minor criticism though. Very good effort mate!

Burn him, for he is a witch!
