Sad news today that Barney42 - AKA Colin Payne sadly passed on today. He'd been quite unwell for some time but was always talking about getting back on stage.  Colin was a lovely, warm and friendly chap and a pretty mean bass player too. I went to see him in hospital last weekend with Bassforradio where we managed to have a chat with Colin - he was still logging into Basschat during his final days.

My deepest condolences to his friends, his band members and family.

Colin

That'd be something that @Hamster would have to check for us Silvia...

I'll message him to find out.. 😊

Right oh - I was musing the same thing. SE Bass Bash in the spring?  I'll check with the school and report back here...............

If I saw Iron Maiden, and Steve Murray just stood at the back not moving, I'd be quite disappointed.

Do you mean this Steve Murray? 

I think I'd go for a Fender P/J to replace my Fender P/J

For a cabinet I'd try a Barefaced 6x10 to replace my Barefaced BT2

I might rack up for the amp and get a Tech 21 SansAmp RBI into a power amp of some kind to replace my Markbass 800Tube

On a personally selfish basis it would be hard for me (and others of a God-bothering persuasion) as I’ve always got commitments on a Sunday. Much prefer a Saturday and just plan it into my annual calendar as a sacrosanct day. Plus for those who have been gigging and crawled in a 2 or 3 in the morning there’s a disincentive to be up at 7 or 8 and loading up the car again, I guess. Whatever day you have it, it’ll be inconvenient for someone.

Colin, does the church still use the school on a Sunday morning and evening? If so it would be venue hunting time...

Hi Trevor @TrevorR.  My church stopped meeting there about a year ago as we bought a large coffee shop in the middle of Chertsey and meet there on a Sunday, so I could book the school for a Sunday next year.  I also think it might be a good idea to have it at the start of September on the first weekend after the schools resume.  Several potential guests I approached this year said they were in rehearsals for Christmas tours at the end of September.  I don't suppose any time of year is ideal unless someone can say otherwise?

How about a Basschat Builders session with Andy, Pete Stroud and the like showing off some of their builds and chatting about the challenges of making instruments?

As a guest builder/company we could ask someone like Bernie Goodfellow? Guitar Guitar to do a feedback session similar to the Andertons one? Just freewheeling here...

Bernie has been to a previous SEBB so he might be up for a return

I reckon it's cattle trucked - http://www.ampdoctor.co.uk/

Amazon

Which amp model is it?  Some can be a royal PITA to work on as so much has to be removed for access.

I sent out a global sticky so everyone should be aware that they can do signatures. 

They seem to be working for me. Go to home page, click on your icon top right, left click account settings, and in the left field click on signatures and scribble and save away.

Let me know if it doesn't work for you

Somewhere!
