[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1316457491' post='1378275'] As well as bringing my mini-rig and a couple of basses plus the DD that is currently up for trade, I also have some bits and pieces for trade or sale. A few 1m Klotz speaker cables that have been used a couple of times, some patch cords, a bag of used Neutrik jacks and whatever else I can find. Bassjumbles R US. Anyone need any specific cables to be made for Saturday? [/quote] Hi Dave Are you bringing along a selection of cables or only stuff that's been specially ordered? Nik

[quote name='mgauction' timestamp='1316221907' post='1376137'] Nik - a chance today for me to make it from across the pond on business was squelched. I will be there in spirit and good luck to the south east winner! [/quote] That's a shame Mike but thanks so much for helping us out with the[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/146642-se-bass-bash-2011-the-raffle-thread/page__view__findpost__p__1378665"] Raffle[/url]! You're an absolute star

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1316204924' post='1375970'] Think me & mcgraham are still coming with Roscoe and Wood & Tronics goodness. All good. Looking forward to meeting folks! Shep [/quote] Cool! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your W&T

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1316196656' post='1375858'] I'm now looking at having to attend quite an important rehearsal slap bang in the middle of the day so I'm sorry to say it looks like I'm not going to make it - I'd love to be there to hang and play but I'm in the fortunate position of actually having some decent gigs at decent venues coming up so unless that all gets cancelled I simply can't do both - if I can come I will - hope that's not too much of a problem - sorry dudes Mike [/quote] Sorry to hear that Mike! Hope all goes well and see you next year...

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1316039006' post='1373909'] Well now, looks like Paul the Drums will be coming, so I will bring my Status Graphite Vintage PJ4 and my Fender USA Deluxe Strat (with the trusty POD X3 Live) and encamp in the Jam Room so you buggers can have something to jam to. I think Happy Jack is bringing a little amp for me, thanks Jack, bottle of fun your way. I would like to see some more action in the Jam Room this year, we had great fun last year, but only five of you made it in. Bad signposting If you want to see how a bass stacks up against drums and guitar, the Jam Room is the place. Paul is a seriously great drummer and you can show off your odd meter skillz in there with me and him, or have a nice easy going jam in A major. Whatever. It's all lovely in the Jam Room and there's never a reason to be scared. Get the f*** in there, or be well f***ing S Q U A R E ! ! ! ! ! ! Also, sad to hear some regulars won't be making it, Clarky, et Cetera [/quote] Great news!!

Hi Folks I've been away a lot lately, so haven't looked at the thread or updated it much as a result. Later tonight I'll update the attendees list, news on the raffle/charities and also the workshops! Just 2 weeks to go now All the best Nik

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1331575' date='Aug 8 2011, 12:22 AM']Good to see Si's old posts, he is sore;y missed.[/quote] +1 Very true! Reading through a few pages of this thread again, I wonder if any of the very latest ultra-trendy products will end up on this thread at some point; D-Class amps, Auralex Gramma pads etc, etc?

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='1326984' date='Aug 4 2011, 02:08 PM']So, now I'm nicely established in my current band I've decided to go retro (well, I'm retro already - just thought the gear should catch up)!! so have just just relieved Beedster of his Peavy Classic Valve Power amp and Zephead of his Digitech PB8 valve pre-amp/multieffect. Looking forward to putting this together with my Purple Chilli and hoping for a lovely vintage vibe! P Bass build to follow very shortly![/quote] Sounds like a good move!

[quote name='jakesbass' post='1315567' date='Jul 25 2011, 11:34 AM']Owned both had 2 Wal customs one fretted one fretless, nice basses but don't think they are as versatile as Alembics. It is defined for me thus: Me paying a Wal sounds like me playing a Wal. (and that goes for many basses tbh) Me playing an Alembic sounds like me. To very many peoples ears there is probably little to discern but to mine it is everything. I still own the Alembic btw[/quote] +1 I've owned a number of Wals over the years and played a few Alembics too, though never actually owned one. Also, I've more recently heard a couple of Alembics owned by Basschat members, including jakesbass's one - which is the most amazing bass I think i've ever seen! Bottom line for me is that Alembics are more versatile and there is far more choice available in their product range; different models, pick up options, woods, electronics etc - it's quite an extensive array of choices (if you can afford it of course). With Wal however, you get a choice of 4, 5 or 6 string model which can then have different tone-wood facings etc..but each of those still comes with the same Wal pick ups and Wal electronics, which do not vary and have been pretty much the same since 1981.. As it happens, i really like the Wal tone, but it is a very definite sound that was designed into the bass right from the start by Ian Waller 30 years ago and it has stayed that way ever since. And whilst it's certainly unique, i don't think it is meant to be that versatile.. In an ideal world, i'd love to have one of each bass but given the way they look and at the price they are, they can look/feel a bit out of place at the Dog 'n' Duck on a Friday night if you know what I mean Do miss my very first Pro 2e though....

Thanks! Always been a Prince fan so I'll enjoy this..

[quote name='urb' post='1311789' date='Jul 21 2011, 05:20 PM']Cool Nick - I'm not sure I need the whole damn theatre space for this thing - maybe I can do it in the jam room as I'm not sure how many people will be wanting to check this out but either way I will need to borrow an amp/cab of some sort... is there a PA that we can use as well? I only ask as I could bring my laptop with some additional sounds and stuff on... let's work this out on a PM soon Mike[/quote] Hi Mike OK - will do! O have a few ideas on it so I will PM you at the weekend... it's been a very busy 2 weeks at work for me, so I have not been able to give much attention to this thread so apologies to one and all about that ! Things to sort out and update are: 1. Workshops list 2. Charities to support 3. Volunteers & tasks Thankfully, Merton's doing a fine job on the raffle which is great Cheers Nik
