Okay Folks, here's the list of prizes that we have had donated so far.. I know there's more that people have said they'll donate on the day, so I can't list them here yet. But if you have anything you'd like to donate, please add it to the lists below.. Ideally, we're looking for 5 or 6 main Raffle prizes and as many as we can get for the Tombola.. so please give generously (as they say). Thanks [b]Raffle Prizes[/b] 01.

Hi Folks Having listened to people's comments on the main SE Bash thread, we've decided this year that we're going to have a two-tier system: 1. A [b]Raffle[/b] - with a higher ticket price for a smaller number of prizes, each of a higher value 2. A [b]Tombola[/b] - with a smaller ticket price for a larger number of prizes, each of a lesser value We're thinking that the main Raffle with be [b]£5[/b] for a strip of tickets, and that the Tombola will be [b]£1[/b] for a strip of tickets. How does that sound? We think this will help address people's concerns and also help us to raise a bit more for good causes.. In my next post, I'll list out what the prizes are that we've got so far. Having said that, we're still happy to receive any donations that you may wish to make, either by bringing them on the day or by pledging them to us via PM (and then we'll work out a way to get them). Thanks in advance as ever... Nik

Hi Folks, Here's the running order for the various workshops/Q&A sessions/presentations/demos at the Bash next Saturday. We're very fortunate to have some fantastic people coming along next Saturday, each with their own unique contribution to make to the day's proceedings, as I'm sure you'll agree - including of course, our very own Clarky and Urb in the Foyer who'll be providing some fantastic tips and insights about technique, double bass etc. In the Theatre, we have a mixture of demos, presentations, talks and Q&A sessions which will cover some really interesting new gear, insights from inspiring Bassists and a chance to find out more about our favourite UK Bass magazine! It goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway) that we're really grateful to everyone for generously donating their time and energy to support this event...

Good to be able to put some names to faces.. The photos really are very good!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1379094871' post='2208693'] Don't forget to bring one or more geetars! Also, are the masterclasses confirmed yet? Thanks! [/quote] Almost... Should be able to post it up tomorrow.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1379073508' post='2208370'] I guess these Bass Bashes can turn into GAS-fuelled trading floors. Well I hope so, as I'm bringing a couple of things to sell/swap/trade: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216949-nocaster-blackguard-tele-with-bare-knuckle-brown-sugar-pickups-keef-style"]Blond 'Nocaster'[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216954-akai-p1-intelliphase-analog-phaser-touch-sensitive"]Akai Intelliphase Phaser[/url] Oh, and a bit of money in my pocket too! [/quote] For the last few years we've had a 'For Sale' area in the foyer which has worked out quite well. Equally, people have brought stuff along and displayed it alongside where they end up siting their rigs, which this year should be in the large hall. Both methods seem to work well but we do need to point out up front that the responsibility for all equipment brought along to the South East Bash is down to the individual person in question - not the organisers of the event or Basschat.

Point taken about the Raffle, Pete! When Jack's finished having his lie-down, we'll come up with an alternative plan for distributing all the used strings, pedal board velcro and other less appealing prizes that we've been offered.. Actually, so far the Raffle Prizes offered have been really good!

Fantastic pics; looks like it was a great day! Some lovely looking gear too Can anyone elaborate on what's what and who's who?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1378630009' post='2202484'] Have a good one, guys. [/quote] +1

Thanks Si

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1378485125' post='2201073'] Sounds ace to me matey! [/quote] +1

We're just trying to put the finishing touches to everything Silvie.. Have to say it's not looking too hopeful for a set-up masterclass at the moment, though other things are looking good!

This is looking like the most well attended SE Bash ever, so let's hope the traffic gods are kind to us on the day..It'll be great to see so many fellow Basschatters there on the day Two things quickly before heading out to the Arundel festival; Bluejay's been doing a fab job of updating the list, so thanks very much for that! Oh -and also some info about Raffle Prizes too. Nik
