Looking good already, folks!

Thanks

Hi Folks, It's rapidly approaching that time of year again when we'd like you to dust off your shiny new (& old) basses, your ever smaller, lighter, louder amps & cabs plus all your weird / geeky bass FX, and bring them all down to the.. [b]South East Bass Bash No.8[/b] Last year's SE Bash was a really fantastic day, with some fabulous guest speakers and about 80 Basschatters attending, so It goes without saying that we'd like to see if we can better that this year!! So, please do sign up, come along on the day with all your gear, make a lot of noise, meet some fellow Basschatters and have a brilliant time helping us to raise a few [b]£££s[/b] for good causes! So, for your delectation and enjoyment, here are the details you need to know: Date: [b]Saturday 1st November 2014[/b] Time: [b]10am - 5pm[/b] Venue: [b]Jubilee High School, Surrey, School Lane, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TE[/b] Venue link: [url="http://www.jubileehigh.surrey.sch.uk/"][color=#0f72da]Jubilee High School Website[/color][/url] [url="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=504208&y=164434&z=0&sv=KT15+1TE&st=2&pc=KT15+1TE&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf"][color=#0f72da]MAP LINK[/color][/url] [b]Format:[/b] We may make a few changes to this after last year, but it will be something along these lines.... 1 x general area to set up your gear, plus 1 x quiet room/workshop area with workshops through the day, plus Jamming room, plus cafeteria, plus Raffle [b]Spaces:[/b] again, we may make a few changes to this, but something along these lines: The Quiet Room and the Theatre for Workshops The Jamming Room for jamming with drummers (and other strange non-bass playing people) Main Hall (where you can set up your gear) [b]Cost:[/b] [b]£10[/b] Last year, it cost about £185 for the hire of the venue plus an amount for some public liability insurance cover therefore to cover those basic costs, we need to charge £10 per head entrance fee to one and all! [b]Charities:[/b] [u]We will donate all profits[/u] from the day to a worthy cause or two (details to be confirmed): [b]Refreshments[/b] will be available on the day for a small charge of course which will help increase the profits and keep everyone happy! Last year, as ever, Hamster & Mrs Hamster did all the work on that and have offered to do so again, so many thanks in advance to them! [b]Workshops[/b] These talks and workshops really add so much to the day, so we are looking for offers from people to run workshops...so any ideas/requests are welcomed. [b]Please Help[/b] What would be really helpful from everyone who's interested in participating on the day is: 1. Donations of raffle prizes 2. Ideas/requests for the workshops 3. Volunteers to help out on the day (if needs be) It's always good to know who's coming and what gear they'll be bringing so to get the ball rolling here's a list of the people we know who are coming: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1. Hamster - 2. Silverfoxnik - BC Rich Eagle, Schecter Diamond P5, Levinson Blade B15, amp & cab tbc 3. 4 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. [/font][/color] 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. It'd be great to have loads of people there on the day but the bottom line is that, to make this event pay for itself and to be able to donate something to charity, [b]we need a minimum of 30 people[/b]... So, come on folks; sign up!! Thanks and we look forward to seeing you there silverfoxnik / Hamster / obbm / Happy Jack / bluejay

Hi Folks Been incredibly busy for the last week or two, so haven't got round to updating this list but, as we're getting close now, I'm hoping to get a more specific idea of numbers as I've been trying to decide what would be a fair [b]door price[/b] for this so that we can: (i) cover the hall hire costs,and (ii) raise a few quid for a good cause What do you think, is [b]£10[/b] fair? It's what we charge at the South East Bash every year... Hall hire is about £20 per hour, so the total cost will be about £100. We'll have some tea & coffee available on the day at 50p per cup so that will help too... I'm also thinking it might be good to have the times from [b]11am-5pm[/b] and have an extra hour on the day. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts on this - thanks. OK, the list: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]01.

The idea being that people can suggest some favourite basslines and Jake will deconstruct them.. Here's the idea: [i]"let people make suggestions on the spot as to what they think is a great bassline and I could listen, learn, reproduce and dismantle for analysis in front of their eyes. Could perhaps do 2 or 3, classics from funk, rock, pop maybe?"[/i] And if anyone else fancies doing a short talk about a particular interest of theirs, then please let me know - bass-related topics of course! Lastly, if anyone's interested, I've also got some old Peavey 1x15 cabs which are loaded with Altec Lansing drivers and I'd be quite happy to bring those down as they sound great to me..... Nik

Just bought two 12" JBL cabs with Eminence drivers from Stevie and can't thank him enough for his help throughout! Completely brilliant deal, great comms and he even packed them up and shipped them out to me just before going on his holiday.. Stevie is an absolute top bloke to deal with and I can't recommend him highly enough to one and all here on Basschat! Thanks Stevie

Thanks guys - much appreciated!

Just bought a feedback stopper from Milton; nice and easy transaction, excellent comms throughout, and a really good item at a very good price. Happy to recommend to the BC community! Nik

Just heard that the venue have found a band, which is a relief! Thanks for the PMs though. Cheers Nik

Cheers guys - look forward to seeing you there.. I'll update the list later, Nik

Hi Folks My band has had to pull out of a gig in Lancing, West Sussex this coming Saturday so I'm working with the venue to try to find a replacement. It's a Royal British Legion Club, so the audience is quite MOR/sing-along/pop-tastic - if that makes sense? Money's quite good though, and they're a friendly crowd! I've already got feelers out for this locally, but I thought I'd also try here on Basschat because BC always seems to come up trumps in the average gigging bassist's hour of need! Short notice I know, but please let me know via PM if you're available and interested? Many thanks Nik

+1 And the modded short scales

Bought some DR Hi Beams of Kris this week.. Nice easy transaction and he's a great guy to deal with, so am happy to recommended him to fellow BC's! Bloody good strings I have to say, so thanks a lot Kris. Nik

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1405429913' post='2501810'] You'd be surprised - what seems unexceptional to one person might be fascinating to another. Plus, people always like to compare, in which case the 'uninteresting' bass or amp becomes a handy bench-mark. Also I venture to suggest that [i]you[/i] are unique. These bash thingies are mainly about meeting people. So yes, please come if you can [/quote] +1

[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1405367440' post='2501336'] As it stands I'm free on this date... should that remain true, would anyone want me to blather on about anything? [/quote] Yes please Jake All blathering welcome.... I'll PM you...

[quote name='johnnylager' timestamp='1405357499' post='2501184'] Gwarn then, I'm in. Will bring an eclectic mix of poorly set up / noisy junk that is unchanged (and largely unused) from last time. Some of it may even work. The P-bass and pedal board do and that's all that really matters Will try once again to steal Nik's BC Rich. [/quote] Most excellent news Mr Lager! It'll be good to see you and your 'noisy junk' after such a long time.. Though clearly I shall have to get some security in for my BC Rich. Fancy doing another talk on 'how not to set up your bass?'

Wow! A great day and a fabulously detailed Blog, Silvia.. Well done! And just what the day deserved too; it looked like another really successful event. Congrats to one and all ! Nik

Brilliant idea and an amazing outcome! Just what these Bass Bashes are really perfect for IMHO.. This is something that we should do at the SE Bash perhaps, with Jazz basses?

Can anyone point out where the 'P Bass Blind' thread is (...he said rather blindly) ?
