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) ?

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1404681175' post='2494726'] I got some shots here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fcamardo_night_time_photography/sets/72157645134489699/ [/quote] Great photos!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1404666246' post='2494552'] Just back from the bash - lovely day! Thank you Mick and Lozz for organising it. Stand by for another humongous blog entry! [/quote] Great news Sylvie.. Looking forward to it..

Sorry to say that I can't make this event, which is a real shame as it looks like it's going to be another fabulous Basschat Bash, and I'd love to be there to support Mick and everyone else involved. So, just to say have a good one people! Look forward to seeing all the post-Bash photos..

Great news Dave!
