I got my new bass and it came strung with Black Beauties. The B string had a strange sharp lump on it - like the coating had clumped and solidified. Emailed Anthony and he immediately offered to send a replacement string to me. Hopefully that's on the way. I'm told the supply issue in the UK is being resolved too as a new distributor has just been appointed (String & Things I believe). Maybe on going supply issues were with the distributor and not DR?

No messenger shooting dude, sorry if it read that way! I'll still go either way as I enjoy a day out playing bass. I'll just hang on for an initial announcement. My suggestion of thinking it may just be an after party was based on the 2009 event and that seemed to work well!

I know BassBunny heard this direct from Steve, but are we sure... The Bassday site still has the old date & the old venue listed. The RNCM are still listing the event on the site and selling tickets Band on the wall website does not have the event listed. Maybe the after party is there? Maybe Steve was just thinking out loud. Theres no published change of date yet, tickets are still be sold for the original date and at the original venue... As far as I'm concerned its Oct 16th at the RNCM and we're still waiting for the website to be updated with this years performers. In fact from googling it now it appears that the only reference to this event being on 06/11/11 this year is this very thread on Basschat!!! I personally think we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea yet. Or have I missed something more official?

Do the ABSynth next - I miss mine and its one of very few pedals I really regret selling... Maybe a video will persuade me to buy another.

Yeah I'm still giggling about it too! lol. Gigrig Generator FTW though! (just to 'try' and bring it back on track)

This has been discussed a million times on Basschat. Here are a few recent discussions that may help - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=151316"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=151316[/url] & [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=144722"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=144722[/url] As for 'worth getting' - lIke everything it's down to personal taste and requirement

Damn iPhone autocorrect!! Usually I'd edit it - but it's too funny to change

I power my supersynth, 5 pedals requiring isolated supples, one 18v and lots of reverse polarity all off a GigRig generator. It's a damn powerful beast! Some adapters to up power consumption are expensive but the system is great. I did have a small problem with my Super Synth, due to the draw, but Dan at GigRig, modded an adapter for me free of charge to get the pedal working fine. As I'm selling my SuperSynth, if you dingo down that route, I'll sell you my adapter for the MB. Shep

Not that are cheaper or smaller. Moog Murf and Adrenalinn are the main rivals, however they are the same size (or bigger) and cost a lot more! The only other one is the CoPilot Gyroscope, its cheaper and very small, but I'm told it totally kills low end tone and recalling settings is a nightmare and the knobs are very sensitive AND it has no tap tempo The Slicer is the best for size and price on an all round basis... And I'm selling mine - convenient! Shep

Welcome! Plenty of us from Nottingham. I work in Bulwell (urgh) and live near the City Hospital. Lots of good teachers too - nottswarwick who has already said hi is one of them. Enjoy BassChat. Shep

The bridge sounds great for classic fretless tone with added fatness. Very nice. I'm using mainly on 50/50 at the mo - mostly due to the fact that the frequency mix there is exactly what my Boss OC2 has always wanted for perfect triggering (for the 1st time ever I think!)

Love them dude - Some great stuff. SOme of the tracks are quite commercial as well, you should think about sending a few off as demo's. You never know, Drag is my fav! If you fancy doing me a some backing tracks for a solo workshop thing I have in the pipeline then drop me a PM! Shep

2 rehearsals down with it and WOW. Mind blowing tonally and a massive noticeable difference - even through my huge effects rig. The Roscoe Barts really open up the sound and the sound is much punchier.

Thats a hell of a lot of funding needed. I can do everything a million times over with my set up - but If I wanted a mini board for open mic nights (thats a thought!) then this would be a possibility!

Is it worth closing the 2010 thread, perhaps first editing the title to reference this one?[/quote] I'll leave the old one open, but I already edited the title! Before I started this thread in fact!

Bought a Black beauties B string off this fine chap. Problem free and as upstanding as this lengthy thread would have you believe. Cheers! Shep

As for times etc... No idea yet. As I recall it kicked off around 1pm and wrapped up about 6 last time. There is no format as such. We hire a room at a venue that has a bar. Everyone brings basses and hopefully a few will bring amps/cabs/combo's etc. Everyone gets to meet other basschatters and try out everyone's gear, socialise, talk bass and generally have a good time. Last time there must of been 20 of us at the busyest time (some folks just pop in for an hour) and at least 40 basses! Cost depends on how many turn up. If the room costs £75 for example and 10 folks commit, it'll be £7.50 each, if 100 decide to come it'll be 75p (and we'll need a bigger venue).
