How are these things generally done ? I would be glad to help to make it happen, when it's possible for me to do so T

There's two jobs (at the moment) up for the taking. They are; [b]Security[/b] Two or three sharp - eyed and security concious people just to make sure that everyone's gear is totally safe while their attention is distracted. We can all suggest ideas for this topic (probably a good thing) i.e. some means of identifying people at the bash so that potential cruising thieves can be readily and easily identified. This type may turn up with an empty case and hope to fill it, then walk out looking perfectly natural. Please, please give up some ideas about security for the day [b]Food[/b] The nearest shops are at least a ten (or more) minute walk away, which is a long time to be away from your own gear while it's on display. Additionally, there are some folks that will not cope well with a quick 'vending machine' diet for the day. Me included. There is a fridge/cold storage facility on site for our use for the day. I will bring a boiler for tea and coffee. I've supplied spuds for jacket potatoes for the day and will be bringing some coleslaw and tuna/mayonnaise mix for fillers It would be great if someone would man the food stall for the day. These are the two major roles that come to mind. If anyone can think of anything else, please speak up !!! [b] Well, it's 2010 and time for basschat's first planned London bash of the year.

Very interesting and potentially useful topic Not sure if one word in itself can describe some bass sounds adequately, as different frequencies ranges can have their own characteristics, especially with some of the active E.Q. systems available today. i.e. to use some examples from the list ' A warm bottom end with a cool top end twang' Would be curious to see where this goes. T

Once again, in your debt A very big THANK YOU MAJOR Happy new year to you

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='680538' date='Dec 10 2009, 07:09 PM']Dammit I want my Spitfire.... oh the wait! :-)[/quote] Hi pantherairsoft, how's you doing ? interesting stuff you have there. how does your GB sound through the markbass 450 ? really, really curious about this one having read the markbass thread around here. on paper, the options for tone from that particular combination could be spectacular. cheers !

have a peek at the GB porn thread. look great. sounds unbeleivable, plays like you would expect for the class really - do have a look

Thank you MacDaddy Do you know which instrument was the forerunner of well - tempered tuning ? I really did think the piano was involved in it somewhere, as I remember a seires of programmes about the history of music and the claim that the piano solved a number of problems around this issue. (doh -don't beleive what you see on t.v.) or is it alzheimer's creeping up on me again ?

Cor !

good 'un Al Heeley ! the piano was the successor to the harpsichord I think (if that's wrong - please someone say so) around the 1700's or so. The harpsichord wasn't tuned in 'even' intervals, which made it sound out of tune when played in certain keys ( the same way that if you tune a guitar to sound really nice in one key, it may sound not quite right in others). The answer to this awkwardness with changing keys was to invent an instrument tuned in 'even' intervals - the piano. Can't remember the answer about the Bb trumpet tuning, Eb and Bb saxophone tuning also. S'pose I should really, as I began playing music on the trumpet and still use it and a sax too. My heart and soul are with the Bass though. this line is intriguing

hi BassJase. ever done the standard walthamstow ? there's loads about but that one seems the most obvious. and yes, this is certainly one handy place. a home for bassheads at last cheers
