[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
