[quote name='socrates' post='972833' date='Sep 30 2010, 03:42 PM']I thought Everything Everything were great too - but am surprised no one has mentioned great bit of bass playing (and quirky moves too) by the bloke with Delta Spirit . . . busy but old-school blue-eyed funky at the same time . . .[/quote] Ah..so that's who they are! Yes - totally agree with you.

[quote name='morsefull' post='971228' date='Sep 28 2010, 10:57 PM']Just watched them and must admit the new song's a bit bland, loved the re-worked Deeper underground though. I was saying to my wife that so much stuff's been done before that it's all a bit samey. Then Everything Everything came on and it was fresh , different and exiting. I'm listening to the album "Man alive" on spotify as I type. Reminds me of a cross between It Bites and Thomas Dolby............ Really rather good [/quote] +2 on 'Everything Everything' Great bass player and band with Jamiroquai, but I thought it was very souless as music..heightened only by the musicianship of his band. KT Tunstall was quite good and so was Ray Lamontagne.. and there was a really fresh sounding band (American i think) who had a great bass player; played with a pick but it was really melodic and unihibited!

[quote name='Merton' post='969399' date='Sep 27 2010, 12:58 PM']Can we add MikeyR to the list as well? He'll be bringing my multiscale if it's finished, and prob his Shuker P and maybe the multiscale proto if he can carry it all [/quote] Will do Mert! It's been a busy week or so but I'll update everything this evening..Think I've got a drummer sorted for the Jam Room as well which will be good too... Nik

Genius; absolute genius!

On the way to a gig a couple of years ago, I went to pick up our singer Pete so we could car share as it was quite a way to the gig.. Pete always brings the two powered monitors with him to gigs and that was going to be a bit of a challenge, fitting them and Pete in my car on top of all my gear! So I knocked on the door and Pete handed me the first monitor whilst he went to say goodbye to his wife and kids and grab his jacket etc.. So, mindful of being quick and getting on our way, I put the monitor in my hand in through the side door onto the back seat and then went to get the other one from inside the house.. Before doing that though, I locked the car just to be on the safe side as it had all my gear in it, including my basses. So I grabbed the other monitor and thought to myself that I'd try and put it in the boot...which I duly opened up with my keys...And sure enough, there was just about enough room for the monitor, after moving all the other gear around a bit. As I heard the satisfying thud of the boot closing and was feeling smug with myself for managing to get all the gear in the car, I realised that I'd locked my keys in the boot which now wouldn't open because the all the doors were still locked! BY the time Pete finally comes out of the house, it's to the sight of me cursing and trying not to lose it completely!! Anyway, after about quarter an hour of failed attempts to break in to my own car, we ended up taking the his wife's car to the gig, stopping off at our guitarist's house to borrow a bass from his studio and then racing to the gig, just in time to quickly plug me directly into the PA and then start the gig.. Fortunately, the gig was great, the AA came and very easily sorted out the problem and retrieved my keys for me and I didn't end up feeling quite such a tw*t after all! But it could have been so much worse...

[quote name='cetera' post='961979' date='Sep 20 2010, 11:07 AM']B*lls!! Really wanted to come to this but have to atend a cousin's wedding.... [/quote] That's a real shame!! But if you'd care to send any or indeed, all of your basses as your representatives on the day, then I can assure you we will look after them very carefully for you

[quote name='RhysP' post='959729' date='Sep 17 2010, 05:56 PM']I know I say exactly the same thing every time John Giblin gets mentioned, but his playing on "Babooshka" has got to be my favourite bass part ever. Pure class. What a superb player. Kate's a f***ing genius too.[/quote] +2 One of my all time favourite artists..and she has always had great musicians with her..Great bass playing on these by the way!

Attendees list updated on the first post on page 1...

Dave; it'll just be great to see you there with whatever gear you bring! And Chris, likewise, it'll be great to see you too!

[quote name='Stingray5' post='953555' date='Sep 12 2010, 02:14 PM']Already posted to say I'm in but not on the updated list so I've added myself. Hope that's ok. I note Clarky and bottle not there either though they have said they're coming. Do people need to add themselves after all (copy/paste etc) or does that complicate things? [/quote] Yes please; it'll make it easier if people can update it by adding their name and their equipment to the list once they decide if they're coming and what they're bringing...That way, we can try to work out the best mix of equiment, particulary amps & cabs.. List updated now..

After a bit of discussion with obbm, I have realised that this is actually the 4th SE Bash, so I have amended the thread title accordingly..Just a little technicality but these things still matter I have also updated the attendees list on the first post, which I think is correct now, thus far? Gotta say a quick thanks to bassace for last year's double bass workshop with jakesbass; shame you can't make it this year Roger, but have a good gig!! Also, some good ideas there about a mini-market and inviting luthiers such as RIM or ACG; doesn anyone know those guys personally and want to send them an invitation? Chris; you have to bring the 1516 because i've always wanted to hear one in action

[quote name='High score' post='432601' date='Mar 12 2009, 05:33 PM']Good guy to deal with good communications, painless deal. Recommend him for any trade.........[/quote] +1 Just sold an Aphex Bass Xciter to Ben; really good guy to deal with ! Cheers

Hi Folks, Well; it's been a long while and just because we've all got nothing better to do (yet again) and because we've been inspired by all the other totally brilliant Basschat Bashes around the country this year, we thought we just have to do another [b]Basschat South East Bash[/b] on [b]Saturday 27 November 2010[/b] for your enjoyment!! Here are the details: [b]Date:[/b] Saturday 27 November 2010 [b]Time:[/b] 10am - 6pm [b]Venue:[/b] Jubilee High School, Surrey, School Lane, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TE [b]Venue link:[/b] [url="http://www.jubileehigh.surrey.sch.uk/gallery.asp?GID=5"]Jubilee High School Website[/url] [b]Map link:[/b] [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"]MAP LINK[/url] [b]Format:[/b] 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 [b]Cost:[/b] £10 for the day [b]Charities:[/b] We would like to donate any profits from the day to a worthy cause recommended by Ros "Mrs Simon Cox" The Old Git's other half (details to be confirmed): We aim to have some great [b]workshops[/b] on the day, pretty much as we did last year! For example, the entrance foyer at the venue served as the 'Quiet Room and a Workshop space last year, which was run very successfully by [b]Happy Jack[/b] as it will be this year. We also held some workshops in the theatre last year, but that may not be available to us this time around as it might be too close to Christmas and as such, would be full of the school's Christmas play stuff... But there is another hall that we can use, so whatever happens, we will be okay for space! There will be [b]refreshments [/b] available on the day for a small charge of course which will help increase the profits and keep everyone happy! Last year [b]Hamster[/b] & [b]Mrs Hamster[/b] did all the work on that and have offered to do so again, so many thanks in advance to them! [b]Workshops[/b] At the moment, we have 4 workshops confirmed, kindly offered by [b]Jakesbass[/b], [b]51m0n[/b], [b]alexclaber[/b] and [b]johnnylager[/b]. We could accomodate 1 more on the day possibly, so if anyone feels bold and brave, then please step forward now!!! Quick update on what we have so far: 1. Music theory / Double-bass - Jakesbass 2. Compression/Compressors - 51m0n 3. Bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice - alexclaber 4. 'Set up' masterclass - johnnylager Thanks to all the above for offering to lead on these! [b]Costs[/b] Last year, it cost [b]£185 for the hire of the venue[/b] plus an amount for some public liability insurance cover therefore to cover those basic costs, we need to charge [b]£10 per head[/b] entrance fee to one and all! [b]Donation to good causes, in honour of Old Git[/b] Like last year and the 2 years before that, all profits will be donated to a good cause, so not only will we have a fabulous day 'navel gazing' as only we Basschatters can, but we will be raising funds for a good cause.. In particular this year, we would like to make a donation in honour of [b]Old Git [/b], who made such a fantastic contribution to the Basschat community over the years! Having consulted with Ros (Si's widow), she said that Si supported and believed in the work of these two Charities particularly: [b]The Kambia Appeal[/b] (kambia.org.uk) - supporting a hospital in Sierra Leone (Si did his thing on their last web site) [b]The Samaritans[/b] (samaritans.org) So all profits will be divided equally between these two very good causes! [b]Other details[/b] such as exactly which rooms/spaces we will have and which ones will be used for what function etc, masterclasses, raffles etc, will be added over the next few weeks. [b]Hope lots of you can come because it's that which'll make it a great day![/b] [b]Please Help[/b] What would be really helpful from everyone who's interested in partcipating on the day is: [b]1.[/b] Donations of raffle prizes [b]2.[/b] Ideas/requests for the workshops [b]3.[/b] Volunteers to help out on the day (if needs be) Basically, we've come up with a format based on last year's event but there's no reason why we can't expand on it either.. [b]So all practical ideas/offers welcome![/b] I'm chucking in a couple of things for the raffle to get it started; a pair of Fender Jazz 5 string pick ups and a 5 string Jazz scratchplate that I can't get rid of for love nor money, so they might as well go into the raffle.. What'd be good now is to use this thread [u]to get an idea of who's coming and what gear they'll be bringing[/u]..So, to get the ball rolling here's a list of the people I know who are coming: UPDATED LIST: Still looking good, with just over 2 weeks to go... 01.
