  1. Hey Nige, can't make it I'm afraid but hope its a blast!
  2. Last gig of 2012 for us at the Green Note in Camden. Its an "intimate" venue but has a great atmosphere and is well known on the folk circuit. Six of us fitted on a teeny stage, helped by our drummer bringing a dramatically stripped down kit and me playing my Takamine acoustic bass, rather than the full-blown DB. Given the venue and its normal clientele we played our more acoustic-y/folk-y numbers and we got a great reception. Plus we actually got paid a decent amount for a change (which is nice). A very good way to sign off for this year
  3. Contacted Bass Centre again today and they said they await the packaging 'any day' and that the RRP will be a fairly hefty £145
  4. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1354726680' post='1889661'] Plus a special forum for gingers, of course. [/quote] Royal patronage would be good
  5. Thursday night. Bit sad its our last one of 2012. But then, its 2013 soon and lots more gigs to come, yay! Including the fantastic Hootenanny in January and the Half Moon in March
  6. Regarding Good Friday, I pointed it out to the friendly lady organiser, Bree, and she said: "Easter comes early next year! I hadn't noticed that, thanks for pointing it out. I guess it could go two ways, with some people happy to have the holiday already in place. Unfortunately it's the time we have allocated for the Bass School so we'll have to make the most of it!" I am pencilled in for this course
  7. No takers for a custom one-of-a-kind Sansamp beater?
  8. PS, I just spotted that March 29th is Good Friday. Don't know if that makes it easier or harder for folks to attend
  9. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1354641107' post='1888595'] If Ped & Kiwi are not making a profit from running Basschat, then they bloody should be. That is not intended to be in any way humorous or sarcastic, I am being deadly serious. I like the idea of a future in which Basschat continues to exist, in much its current form, for a very long time. The best guarantee of that is if we can find a way to make this a more rewarding experience for them. I am constantly amazed at the number of posts right across this forum that assume that we all have a God-given right to enjoy Basschat for nowt. Single annual fee works best for me. [/quote] Couldn't have put it better, Jack PS, I virtually never visit the classifieds - compare and contrast that with my number of posts. I find its like a separate website and to me thats a bit sad. S'why I say single annual fee
  10. Or indeed a useful prop for Jake the Peg
  11. He's also back to his 'microbe of relief'
  12. Being owned by me devalues a bass
  13. Can I add a rather belated congrats Charic - sounds like a fantastic evening
  14. Trailer (link below) is quite intriguing but ultimately frustrating as it sets up the song, with a cool pulsating bass line, but never quite gets to it. Still, I'm looking forward to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK59GDfWvsg&feature=youtu.be
  15. Love it! Best of luck finding someone with the requisite ability
  16. Another trade with BassChat stalwart and all round good egg, Jack
  17. [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1354458915' post='1886129'] Clarky - I'm longing to meet Boris Johnson with a bass.. [/quote] If I attend, I plan to make my entrance with double bass in hand on a zip wire
  18. Hi Sarah, I had a similar email and also asked about non-residential attendance (being since I am a Londoner). Bree said "There would be a day rate if you wanted to commute to and from and that would be about £100 less than the quoted fee. Lunches, snacks and tea would still be included for you and we would be able to provide parking at no charge."
  19. OK, I've sent the contact person (who posted the FB advert) a copy of this thread to indicate there is interest from several BCers, depending on price. Hopefully they will come back to me with rough pricing info soon
  20. I emailed and they said they were trying to get an idea of approximate demand first, so I don't think they have a price yet (I did ask)
  21. [url="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151282301008164&set=a.10150654335163164.416756.180920218163&type=1&theater"]http://www.facebook....&type=1[/url] Would love to attend but doubt I will be able to given work and limited holiday allowance Edit: I might just use up some of my holiday allowance on this anyway
  22. When you put withdrawn in your title, a friendly mod removes it. Happened with my Jaco fretless last week. If you search for your deleted thread, it does come up but highlighted in a different colour
  23. Nice story and cool that Colin Greenwood obviously has bass playing heroes too!
