  1. Wow! What a find! Absolutely stunning! GLWTS.
  2. Me too! They were very friendly on that stand!
  3. I honestly don't believe - unless we think it tenable that drummers are less concerned than bassists about catching COVID (I know...!) - that caution was the issue. The Drum Show was heaving.
  4. That's even worse than Saturday! Looks to me as if several stands gave it up as a bad job and didn't bother to come back. That one in the far corner, which looks empty, was Tanglewood, though wtf they were doing there in the first place, I don't know.
  5. As hindsight begins to kick in, I'm becoming more and more angry about what is being served up this weekend in Liverpool. Thank God Bass Direct are there, tbh. Not a huge amount else.
  6. Just looked at the Drum Show, full range of exhibitors, absolutely packed with visitors. Strange contrast!
  7. One advantage is I've been able to chat to people without being rushed. Just been talking to Mark at Bass Direct. What a lovely guy, well worth supporting.
  8. I'd say about 50-50, maybe slightly more bass.
  9. Well, I made it. Disappointingly small, when I think I booked for this two and a half years ago. I'll put a few pix up shortly, then you can decide about tomorrow!
  10. I much prefer this body shape with Alembics - mixing a metaphor, I never could quite get my head round the back end of the body with the more distinctive type.
  11. Definitely! I've had a great deal of fun with it already, using my flyrig through the MB200 for experimenting with its range and tone.
  12. I booked back in the early bird days for a session fronted by Jerry Barnes from Chic - not happening now, so I hope I can use my ticket to get into one of the other sessions.
  13. Yes, I spent a fruitless hour yesterday exploring the website for one. No luck! 😒
  14. I'm going along on Saturday - I shall be well ear-pluggedc against random shredders! I'll report back - maybe even live-blog here!
  15. Machine Gun Kelly? Or the Killers? 😉
  16. Beautiful!
  17. I've never worked out how Adrian can keep producing these lovely basses at such reasonable prices, especially as he's bassed in Germany. Good luck with your sale - I'm sure it won't be here long.
  18. That is either the most gorgeous or most horrible-looking top - I simply cannot decide! GLWTS!
  19. Are you sure? I have that as Magdalen Bridge in Oxford! Please don't send me all over the country out of pure nosiness! Ah, just seen Saltings Roundabout!
  20. ///kick.pelt.stops = (apparently) about a hundred yards offshore at Shoreham by Sea - I hope you're keeping the bass nice and dry!
  21. I remember seeing that and being incredibly impressed at the time.
  22. Of course, this is a lovely bass, but Jeannie's closed down last year, when the owner died. GLWTS anyway!
  23. A phrase my editor taught me when writing TV scripts back in the day - very useful, but no less hurtful to do. GLWTS.
