Have always hoped they’d grab the cases and run because alarm would be deafening them (put extra sounder in this room) before they’d realise the cases are empty!! 🤣

Sounds good Matt - mine are stacked horizontally at the min which as a pain if you want something half way down the pile

Does anyone have a creative solution for hardcase storage? I am currently considering maybe building a bench top to sit my 2 x gravity vari g 7 guitar racks on so I have space under for as many as possible. But I wondered what others have done. (I don’t have a loft) I feel privileged to find myself with this ‘problem’ but most of us have the addiction (GAS) so I know I won’t be alone in this.

I’m in - will post gear list closer to the time should anyone have specific interest in trying anything out…

Here’s what works for me….. I am currently learning a total of 4hours of material over a 4week period for dep gigs I have coming up. As @geoham says having playlist with songs on repeat really helps you get familiar. i start just having it playing just in background for commute etc then ‘actively listening’ then pick the ‘easy wins’ and play them whilst writing short notes on structure etc if needed. I then delve deeper into to the remaining more demanding pieces (sometimes not the ones you expect to trip you up!) i often don’t get chance to practice with the bands before first dep gig so will finally watch their Facebook/youtube videos and ask them to send live recordings if possible so I can fine tune the songs. It’s amazing how often bands who’ve been playing a track together frequently evolve a track from the original (sometimes without really realising). also - I’m sure I’m not the only one, but try to get comfortable playing at x1.25 speed if you can because somehow live renditions tend to be slightly faster than the original (unless your playing to a click) ^ hopefully that’s helpful to someone ^

I’d certainly bring a car full, if this gets traction then I’ll put a current inventory of my gear up closer to the time. That way if there’s something of specific interest to anyone attending I can make sure I bring it along….

Do you think Lincoln would be too far to travel for those in Louth? I am based in Grantham and wondered if Lincoln would have a better catchment for attendees? (Especially road network wise)

Just bought a phase 90 from @spongebob - communication was great and even delayed posting so it arrived when I returned from holiday.

Maybe they listed just so I could purchase? I would suggest reaching out to Marco via email, super helpful guy: Riccardo Damiani | Markbass [email protected]

I know exactly what you mean - the strangest thing for me is no stingray 4 or even better 5string neck replacements, which I think the headstock would gel with perfectly?

Just seen Klōs carbon fiber necks are available through @Bass Direct has anyone tried these yet? As a status & modulus fan I’m excited to see the emergence of another retro-fit carbon neck supplier….. https://klosguitars.com/collections/electric-guitar-necks?srsltid=AfmBOopbFiNMb8EZHZ5Jo6qi9EdRyz1X1tO2BWue-QPdjxgqfH8AxVu0 https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/klos-f-series-bass-neck-pj5-22-fret/
