    [quote name='barneyg42' post='293119' date='Sep 26 2008, 09:54 PM']Just checking, is the bash open to non BCers too, got a friend who plays a bit wanting to come along.[/quote] No problem as far as I'm concerned; a good opportunity to recruit more players to the Basschat cause.. Anyone else got any objections?

    [quote name='Merton' post='293077' date='Sep 26 2008, 08:26 PM']I have the spotlights ready, plus the Pearl and Dean theme [/quote] Thanks for the offer of help guys.. Possible there I think.. But let's ask John when he arrives what he is happy to use.. Hopefully, Bernie will have come up trumps and it will not be an issue! The BFM vs Claber fight should be good.. Sorry to hear Clauster & G-77 can't make it..Hope everything works out with the card clone thing Nick (F****** B*******!). By the way, if anyone has a decent digital camera to take some photos with tomorrow, it'd be a real help.. I stupidly left mine in Shoreham this afternoon and haven't time to go collect it before tomorrow.. Thanks and see you all tomorrow. Nik

    Guys, John East needs to use a really transparent rig to demonstrate his pre-amps tomorrow and I have asked Bernie Goodfellow if he can bring an EBS combo for that, which he said was cool. But if for any reason Bernie can't make it, gets delayed or some other problem occurs, is there anyone coming who has a rig that John could use for his talk between 1pm and 2pm? I would offer my Peavey T-Max and SWR Triad to John but it just isn't transparent really... Any offers? Thanks.... Cheers Nik

    Hi Folks The donations or tickets bought for the Raffle currently stands at £80 for the jazz bass (which has a RRP of about £85), though not all of the pledged monies have been received as yet. We always had a reserve price in mind and we're a way off it as yet.. But I am hopeful that we will reach the reserve at The Bash tomorrow, especially if people could please :- 1) confirm their pledges if they haven't yet paid 2) help to get this figure over £100 by midnight tonight!! Come on guys; it's all in aid of 2 really good causes one of them being our very own favourite bass guitar forum of course!! The other good cause (which is the charity I work for) is called 'Enable Me' and it works in schools to challenge and change negative attitudes towards disability.. The reason this work is necessary is that there is so much stigma attached to disability! So much so that, on top of the disability itself, most disabled people suffer from the negativity and stigma that they encounter on an almost daily basis.. For anyone who's interested, read the tragic story in the news this week about the mother who killed her own 4 year old daughter who suffered from cerbral palsy, because she (the mother that is) couldn't cope with the stigma of her daughter's disability! So rather than live with that, she drowned her... [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7632200.stm"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7632200.stm[/url] It's just shocking... Anyway, I'll get off my soap-box now... Many thanks for your support Nik

    [b]URGENT NEWS:-[/b] For some reason, [b]the rooms where the Bash is happening on Saturday have changed[/b] and we will now be in: [b]Onslow Suite 1 & 2[/b] The Onslow Suite(s) are located in the [b]Academy[/b] area of the Holiday Inn site and The Academy has it's own car park on the left hand side as you drive into the Holiday Inn (if you're coming by car that is). Once parked, you go into the lobby of the Academy and the Onslow Suites will be to your left. Access is apparently very easy! There is a [b]bar[/b] and [b]restaurant[/b] close by to the Onslow Suites and also, a lounge area if you need a bit of quiet time or want to have a chat etc! Here's a link to the Holiday Inn web page which has more info: [url="http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925/en/hotel/guisu?&countryId=0925&cm_mmc=mdpr%2d%5f%2dgooglemaps%2d%5f%2dhi%2d%5f%2dguisu"]http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925/en...ps-_-hi-_-guisu[/url] Nik

    Hi Folks, After a series of PMs and discussions, we think the best way around the potential overcrowding/too much noise problem is to let everyone bring their gear with them as they see fit.. But then, upon arrival, everyone gets issued with some kind of identifying tag (like a number, e.g. odds & evens or a colour, e.g. reds or blues). Then, every hour or so, if it get's to the point where as Merton put it so well in the OP, we start to hit: [i]"..a meltdown in noise and room space."[/i] Then we'll alternate between the numbers or colours so we can keep some kind of control over things. To be honest, it's by no means a perfect solution because it will need monitoring and implementing somehow but because we don't want anyone to feel excluded from bringing their own stuff, it's the best solution we've been able to come up with. In the end, I think it all comes down to having a sense of respect for everybody else there and being aware of what's going on around you throughout the day. IMO, I think it'll work best if it's a self-managed situation and everyone keeps the issue in mind... So if everyone coming could give this idea their support, we'd really appreciate it! . After all, this is all of ours event and it will only be as good as we all want it to be! I hope that makes sense and it's OK for everyone, but if anybody has any better ideas as to how to make this work, then please say so as we'd be more than happy to take them on board.. Look forward to seeing you there! Nik

    [quote name='Merton' post='289000' date='Sep 22 2008, 10:23 AM']The Holiday Inn does indeed have a bar with bar snacks, so they told me anyway... Looking forward ot this, it's gonna rock! Thanks to Nik for being the head honcho iwithout whom it would have never happened [/quote] Cheers Merton, but this has been a real team effort so far so I can't take any credit other than for being foolish enough to suggest we have another SE Bash in the first place By the way, I've just had confirmation that Bernie Goodfellow is coming up on Saturday with some fabulous basses and some EBS Rigs, which is great news! Bernie's kindly going to donate something to the Raffle as well I'm going to look at the Worskhops schedule later to see if we can give Bernie a space to demonstrate some of his basses/rigs on the day as well as him being set-up in the main room..

    [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='288943' date='Sep 22 2008, 08:29 AM']Hey Nik, would I be able to buy a ticket at the bash, instead of on here? I'm definately comin, and definately buyin a ticket...andy chance you can make this possible? [/quote] No problem at all! Only reason for a cut-off is that we probably wouldn't be able to check online whilst there as we've so much going on.. But no problem selling tickets to folk there on the day at all!
