Dood

Yeap, big high five for all the team at Rotosound. They (including Jason and John at LBGS this weekend) have always bent over backwards to help me. Behind the scenes is a great lady called Coral who works tirelessly dealing with orders. Thanks Coral, absolutely brilliant! Infact, expect an interesting (I hope) post from me re: Rotosound in (hopefully) the next few days!

These lovelies are actually mine! Just Dood It...

Jobs-a-goodun!

Love this thread! Go for it stef030! I know that this fine community will be behind you all the way! Welcome back to the low end!

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1163219' date='Mar 15 2011, 03:37 PM']How weird. For some reason, I always thought Sheldon Dingwall looked like Leland Sklar. Nevermind. Truckstop[/quote] Heh heh! It's funny you build up images of what people - or for example what Basschatters look like through the forum - and then it's interesting to find out what they really look like in reality. Well.. I think it is anyway! - Really good to put faces to names at weekends - just wish there was more time to meet more of ya!

[quote name='icastle' post='1163138' date='Mar 15 2011, 02:26 PM']Aye, but there are strings attached... [/quote] da-dummm.. tishhhhhhhh!!!!!! ahhhhh very good!!!

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1162934' date='Mar 15 2011, 11:58 AM']I was just thinking - I started playing bass 31 years ago aged 16 and through all the ups and downs I've experienced in my life, playing bass has been the most consistent refuge for me. I love being a bassist!!![/quote] Absolutely the same for me 100% - I started guitar when I was probably about 9 and Bass properly from the age of 13. I absolutely can not see a day when I will stop - a more permanent fixture in my life than a tattoo! Spread the love!

[quote name='LondonBassGuitarShow' post='1162959' date='Mar 15 2011, 12:23 PM']Hi Guys! Thank you for all your comments and suggestions ready for next year. We will take all of these into acount when organising the next one, they are very much appreciated. Great to see all you pictures being added - it would be great to have some posted on our Facebook page - London Bass Guitar Show. Please feel free to upload them. Lovely to have met so many of you at the show on the BGM stand! Thanks for coming over for a chat! Claire[/quote] Hi Claire, I've just read the latest update: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/latest-news/76-london-bass-guitar-show-success.html?utm_source=london+bass+show&utm_medium=twitter"]http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/latest..._medium=twitter[/url] That's great news - What a brilliant atmosphere and definitely a successful show - I've added my pics already (The Hartke and Rotosound ones) - it'd be great to see more of the show too! Looking forward to next year! Dan.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1162725' date='Mar 15 2011, 08:59 AM']Less talking people... more pics![/quote] Yes definitely - I wanna see how many stands I missed by talking all day! ha!!

I'm looking a bit camp..hmmmm...

Another picture! Yup that's me and the afore mentioned '...guy on the Rotosound stand with the Warwick'.

Yep, I'll +1 that - I really had a great time down at the show. Here's a pic of me at the Hartke stand with the team - we were havin' such a laugh!

[quote name='Clarky' post='1159468' date='Mar 12 2011, 04:21 PM']Just back from London bass show at Olympia. Say no more[/quote] Hey Clarky! Great to meet you at last! Totally agree - Even at BassDay, I tried to demonstrate the more subtle tones of Shuker basses to passers-by - but I couldn't bloody hear anything because of all the shed building coming from a stand opposite (and to the right a bit) - My mate Darryll was demo'ing on the stand directly opposite to me and we just ended up pulling faces at each other everytime Mr JackHammer started off in his one man cruisade to rid bass players of their hearing. I have to say, not that I was every much of a slapper anyway, these shows are really putting me off the technique. Seems to be a lazy excuse for talent, when it is done badly.

[quote name='MythSte' post='1161103' date='Mar 13 2011, 09:51 PM']I had a wonderful time yesterday with Al and Matt (homer and machines!) TM Stevens was fantastic, A real highlight for me. I also got a chance to play the Sterling Ray34CA, Its safe to say I'll have one of those shortly! I didnt find the volume too bad but I really did appreciate going out for a breather every now and then just do re-pressurize my insides! Great to meet everyone I did meet and to those of you that didnt, I'm really sorry I missed you! Oh, and thanks Machines for this photo; Please note, I was entering my 36th hour of being awake so was feeling a little past my best come this point! [/quote] Hey Ste' That's an awesome picture! - I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to catch up for a coffee and chat. - Ya know, from reception it took me nearly an house to actually get in to the main venue as I bumped in to loads of fine basschatters for a natter - and that's pretty much how the day panned out for me! ya know, I only picked up TWO basses all day! Sadly, with all the racket around me - I didn't even bother plugging in the £8k Fodera or the Brian May bass!! - Though gotta say, I would have the BM bass - that was cute! ha! Just wanna say, it was great to meet so many basschatters and put faces to names! By far one of the best bits of the day for me was meeting y'al!!

[quote name='Sibob' post='1161054' date='Mar 13 2011, 09:16 PM']GB were one of the main culprits for the slap filth lol Some stunning basses, but I generally stayed away on account of the noise....as thats all it was Si[/quote] Hey Si! Yeah, that's why we took refuge and grabbed a coffee for an hour! Certain stands were noted for their dreadful noise pollution heh! - but it was great to have a mo' away from the noise to have a natter with ya!

Check out the line 6 range of products, such as Toneport, POD GX, UX1, UX2 etc - Yes they do a whole lot more than just input your dry sound, but they really are great fun!

[quote name='Rich' post='1155498' date='Mar 9 2011, 04:01 PM']Result: over £1500 raised for the Samaritans and a local charity.[/quote] That's fantastic news! Well done to all those involved!

[quote name='Stickman' post='1153951' date='Mar 8 2011, 03:32 PM']I'll be there on Saturday.[/quote] Ey Steve.. will have a catch up then!

[quote name='hellothere' post='1153298' date='Mar 8 2011, 02:21 AM']*cowers*[/quote] Heh heh! - When you go see Jon, take some choccy biccies along as well. Bless him, he works so hard I don't think he gets out much! - Oh and if he offers a viewing of the fine wood store, I'd highly recommend it (if you can resist the temptation of a new bass that is!!) ;o) Here's another +1 for Jon's immaculate work.

You can find me here too: [url="http://www.facebook.com/doodonbass"]http://www.facebook.com/doodonbass[/url] - feel free to add me and say hi!

[quote name='Sibob' post='1150668' date='Mar 5 2011, 03:59 PM']Think I'll be there on the Saturday with funkyveed, I'll be able to spot Dood at the very least lol Si[/quote] Would be cool to say hi to as many 'chatters as possible! Look out for this ugly mug! ha ha! - I'll prob be bringing my Shuker with me too and hanging around the Hartke and Rotosound stands.

[quote name='Tinman' post='1146006' date='Mar 1 2011, 04:33 PM']I'm with Dood on this one. Buckeye is a great choice IMO and if you don't mind I'll show you mine [attachment=73642:boelite4full.jpg][/quote] Ahhh Pete! LOVE that bass!
