[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!

[quote name='jwbassman' timestamp='1353106516' post='1871812'] These look great, I'll have a couple too please, not sure what size I'll need, I've got a Bassbalsereit but with a standard jack socket but its got the locking thingy like the last pic on the page in the link, so whatever size that is - hope that makes sense... cheers [/quote]If it's a standard jack size I assume it's the standard (non XLR) clamp?

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1353077104' post='1871365'] The band (bar Hackett's) hatred of After the Ordeal will make you wince. Poor Steve. [/quote] Such an inoffensive song (although maybe thats what they disliked?) The ones I always skip are 'I know what I like' (sorry, never did it for me even in my uber-worship teenage days) and the frankly drippy 'More fool me' I still think Hackett penned some of their finest work - Blood on the Rooftops, for example

From the same tour. F8ck me, I've come over all emotional [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiU79oS88cs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiU79oS88cs[/url]

My first ever gig as an excited 13 year old was Genesis at Earls Court on the tour that yielded Seconds Out. I will never ever forget Los Endos, the closer as all the lasers turned on full pelt as the main refrain kicked in. I've got goosebumps now

Looks like I will need a sack at this rate!

OK chaps, so thats 4 so far plus I will have a couple

I am in Frankfurt next Wednesday on biz but - assuming my schedule allows - I will try to pop in to Lando Music where Jonas Loehse sells a rather neat little screw on clamp that allows you to attach your pickup jack socket to the tailpiece (see link below). After my Full Circle debacle (see earlier thread from me) I plan to mount my FC jack on the rear of my tailpiece with one of these little contraptions. I am happy to pick up some extra clamps if any DBers would also like one - they are Euro 5 each and i would pass on to you at cost plus the cost of postage. Let me know - and I add the health warning that all of the above is dependent on whether my schedule leaves me a free 30 minutes at some point [url="http://www.kontrabass-atelier.de/pickups_e.html#clamp"]http://www.kontrabas...ps_e.html#clamp[/url]

Good thinking, Keith!
