[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1317124210' post='1386961'] It looks like it was a great day! Wish I could've been there....... I would LOVE to know who everyone is in the photos though! [/quote] I've added some names in and will try to do the rest later tonight, though I'm at work until 9pm...

I'll try and edit the picture posts later to add some names...

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1317122300' post='1386926'] Ah yes the infamous lewd example of kick drum mic phase issues.... Mary Whitehouse would have been up in arms! [/quote] Indeed! (for those of us old enough to remember who Mrs Whitehouse was)

Ok; last lot of photos taken on my Blackberry Curve which has a really bad quality camera so the pictures are quite grainy.. but hopefully the vibe comes through which is what matters! Apologies to those who's names i have ommitted!

Good raffle by the way! So thanks Merton for all the hard work and thanks to all who donated the prizes!

Got to say Tom that the Krampera rig sounded really good! Shame it wasn't set up in the Jam Room so it could be heard against some drums... next time perhaps?

[quote name='mgauction' timestamp='1316995316' post='1385360'] Nik - Who ended up being the winner? Any pics? [/quote] Hi Mike There were lots of winners in the raffle and lots of prizes won but amazingly - I won the Geddy photo! I'll post up pics (along with lots of others from Saturday) tonight.. Nik

Hi Folks Just got home and now have a drink in my hand to unwind, so all good... So.. where to start other than to say thank you to everyone for coming and making it such a great day; those from Nottingham, Birmingham, East Anglia - wow!! Special mentions for 51m0n, jakesbass, bassace, mcgraham & TomKent for doing their brilliant, brilliant workshops.. Mark & Tom were very patient as things ran way over time, so thanks guys for being so understanding! Big thanks also to Hamster & Mrs Hamster for sorting out all the food & drinks and to Merton for sorting out the Raffle - both of which have contributed to the funds raised for good causes (see Colin's update above).. The was so much good stuff happening all day that it's difficult to cite any one thing in particular as standing out, but i must just say that the vibe in the Jam Room this year was extra special.. Paul The Drums, silddx & Stingray 5 were brilliant and especially when they got seashell (Shelly) involved in the jam! Gear wise, loads to see and admire, but mcgraham's Wood & Tronics 5 was just awesome, as was Alex's Barefaced 2x12 - very GAS-worthy indeed!...anyway, more on that later. Lots of photos to look at and upload, many taken by Loraine (Mrs Silverfoxnik) and thanks to her for taking them and thanks also to everyone there who made her feel so welcome! Nik

Thanks Jake! Looking forward to it... Si - you've obviously not played with some of the dodgy drummers I have - always a raffle or a lottery as to whether they'll be in time

[b]WORKSHOPS RUNNING ORDER:[/b] Sorry for the delay on this folks.. Here's the 5 workshops happening tomorrow: 11.30: 'Recording Q&A's' Workshop - 51m0n 12.30: 'Quick Solutions' Workshop - jakesbass 13.30: 'Double Bass' Workshop - bassace 14.30: 'Music Theory & technique' Workshop - mcgraham 15.30 'Life as a freelance bass player' and 'Krampera Demo' Workshop - TomKent We're going to decide first thing tomorrow where to site them. 51m0n's, mcgraham's & Tom's workshops will definitely be in the theatre, but it might be best for Jake's & Roger's to take place in the quiet room/foyer area. That way, if we need to adjust the timings to accomodate the people delivering the workshops, then we'll have the flexibility to do so.. Hope that's OK for everybody? Also, don't forget the Jam Room that's happening for those of you that want to groove along with a drummer... and the amazing Raffle this year!!! Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Nik

Thanks Folks! That's really helpful...

Good news! Look forward to seeing you guys there!

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1316529407' post='1379242'] I don't recall what workshop urb would've been doing, but if it was to look at technique then I'd be happy to stand in in his absence... provided people were interested? I can look at 2 finger technique, the different variations thereof as well as what works and why. I can also go over the 4 finger Matt Garrison technique, slap/double thumb, left hand technique, harmonics (artificial and natural), muting, ergonomics, etc. I'd be happy to spend some time on explaining the above but also leave room for Q&A and looking at specific difficulties that people might have... a trouble-shooting clinic if you like? Music theory is also possible, but it depends what people want as it's quite a diverse topic and sometimes a bit drier than looking at more interesting techniques... though I like to think those I've taught find my teaching fun and accessible! I've messaged silverfoxnik about this but thought I'd add it on here in the event anyone is interested. [/quote] Thanks for this.. will be posting Workshop running order later today now everyone's confirmed!

Thanks; might need a couple of short leads up to 1m if you've got any?

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1316512772' post='1378907'] I've also got another friend coming along for the ride. They're not a BC forum user so not sure what you want to do about adding to the list. [/quote] No worries - just everyone's welcome, we can add them to the list now or just leave it until Saturday. Definitely agree we need to see more stuff happening in the Jam Room! nig; will you have a bass rig in there or do you need me to bring something? Agreed - it's real shame about urb not being there but we still have 3 or 4 workshops, which I'm just waiting to confirm timings on. Soon as I have that info, I'llpost them up later.

Sorry SlackAlice can't make it but glad to hear you're still available Jake! Yes please to the Alembic : ) Did you get my PM?
