In the diary…

Ok, not an image and might have been seen before, but this really ‘spoke to me’…

He's in Steps?

Quick shoutout for Ashley & the peeps at Bass Direct!

Had a problem with the lining to a Mono Vertigo I bought 18 mths ago. Not only agreed a replacement after I sent a few photos but sent me a replacement BEFORE expecting the return so I wouldn’t be without it!

Great service 👏👏. Much thanks…

Not funny as such but I thought this was a good place for it….

Pics look fine to me! GLWTS!

With a hammer 🤣

Welcome! I’m sure you will find a lot of peeps here LOVE details 😂.

"Wanna buy a Sandberg?"
 

If we’re asking a mythical figure for unobtainable things can I have a 1959 Jazz Bass?

Mike’s vid has pretty much all of them 🤷‍♀️

Yes, great fun! Thanks to the organisers for all the work! 

You managed to get an electric car in your boot? Wow! But I’d rather see the one you are driving!

Sorry all, yes Whitstable, but it's really no big deal and I can now collect from Nik the following weekend so perhaps let's not make things any more complicated  

Well, I’m near the 1st jcn on the A/M20 inside the M25 and can generally be in ‘whenever’ as I’m retired. Totally understand I’m an ‘unknown extra’ in all this but the offer is there if you feel it helps at all.

Where is it trying to get to? Then maybe whoever is nearest can step in. I’m very happy to help but I’m quite a way from where I think it needs to be!

Thanks, 

 

Was just asking as I'm trying to coordinate delivery of a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo to Chris, aka @Beedster but he's unable to attend on Sunday. 

 

So he and I were just wondering whether anyone more local to him than me (I live in Bedfordshire) might be able to help? 

 

A sort of Basschat 'relay service' as it were... 😁

Well I guess I’m about half way. Prolly have space in the car if it’s any help…

You have to set up a login…

"Normal" is a meaningless word to apply to use as a generalisation, because each person's "normal" is based on their perception of what's around them, what they do, and how they think things should be.

It minds me of something Dave Allen used to say: "May your god go with you.".

That ‘wobbly comedian’ says, and I agree, that “normal is the cycle on a washing machine”!

I’m also going to bring my desk (so people can see how good a Zoom L is for small gigs) and that has 5 Auxes so bring IEMs if you like and you can try basses without adding to the sound level. I’ll also have some IEMs people can try (together with quite a few tips and a LOT of wet wipes!).

I was going to bring my ‘80s Legacy and my S3. Might be interesting to compare?

Sorry, no. Coming from Bromley and happy if anyone wants to double up...

There are comments in another thread but if it’s definitely comfort not cost look at a Heistercamp strap. Have it exactly how you want and choose ’with padding’. I just got a 3 1/2 inch for a heavy P I like to play and not having any of the associated probs now. Money well spent!

Do they do smashed avocado or anything with quinoa?

As others have said it’s not just the ticket prices. I’ve been going ‘Camden way’ for gigs  with a buddy for the last 5 years. We meet at the same pizza place for 2x pizza and a bottle of red before a gig. 5 years ago this was c£35. Last time it was £86. We’re discussing meeting at the door & eating at home. Stops all the catch up / socialising…
