Ok, I know it's predictable, but I'm going to say more of the same. I also had a good experience dealing with Gareth, reliable, good communication, quality kit. You get the picture - he's ok. Ok ? Looks like the truth is out there Gareth. cheers mate T

Cheers Gareth and ta for the nice cable. I'll have to play on dark stages now, as your one will show up my other cables ! Any time you have some nice stuff to sell at good prices, I'll be only too happy to hear about it (along with the other 10,000 BC'ers after some nice kit). Thanks Gareth cheers T

I needed something in a hurry and Jack stepped up. Top man. It was all last minute stuff and Jack was very accomadating, setting some time aside in a long day to help me out. A good host, with a very nice six string as well. Jack also gave me some good directions which led me straight there with no hassle at all. Good to meet you Jack, see you at the London Bash Cheers Jack T

Met James today, who bought a Squire Jazz from me. A very straightforward deal with good communication throughout. It was great to meet local fellow BC'ers - nice folks to meet, we had an interesting time discussing music and having a jam with two basses. I hope John enjoys the bass and a long career playing music of all kinds. Thanks James T

All the raffle gifts are most welcome, even if it's just a packet of scratchplate screws ! Seriously, anyone that wants to contribute something to the day, however small, deserves a big thank you from me and everyone that attends on the day. As Rich said somewhere else, B.C. is a wonderful place. Fat Rich- it will be great to have you along on the day, if only just to meet you in person. If anyone is likely to get their skills laughed at, it's probably going to be me !!! Also, I would personally like to see some more Status basses having met OutToPlayJazz and his Status collection a short while ago. You're most welcome Sir. Welcome one and all T

Congrats on the impending new addition to the household Shep !! T

HOT NEWS HOT NEWS!!!! CHUFFED OF ESSEX HERE. [b] [size=4]JUST HAD CONFIRMATION THAT BERNIE GOODFELLOW WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY WITH SOME OF HIS BEAUTIFUL BASS GUITARS !!!!! [/size][/b] OH YES T

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='834811' date='May 11 2010, 10:40 PM']I'll be there bringing a selection from the WPD collection.[/quote] Wicked. Look forward to meeting you T

That's a shame lonestar - hope it goes well. In the meanwhile, perhaps molan will post the address of the school on this thread and I'll nail it to the top. Let's get more details about food etc when we see the location eh ? cheers T

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T

sorry to hear you can't make it pirate. hope mr. k is worth it on the day. Bottle - bring the lot !! seriously, It'll be good to see you there, even if you only turn up with a small combo. Can everyone please add further posts to the main thread from now on. Ta. T

This could have been ideal for me. Chigwell is just around the corner and my band has gigged there before at a local sports and social club. Just our luck we are already booked on that night for a gig on the opposite side of the M25. ha ! T

That's it, all done. The results are: Creekside = 4 votes (22.22%) School in Friern Barnet = 14 (77.78%) Therefore, the London 2010 bass bash will be held on 27th June at the school in Friern Barnet suggested by Molan. At long last T

times up ! The results are: 6th = 6 votes 13th = 2 votes 20th = 5 votes 27th = 8 votes Therefore, the 27th wins it. No doubt those who voted for the others could get together and collectively decide on another date, but which date would you choose ? who would you agree with ? would you take another vote to find out ? Or maybe, everybody just might say bo***cks to the whole voting thing in general by now and just say yes to the 27th !!!!!! Let's just go for it T

Just picked up a bass from Rich. I'll confirm what everyone has said here, that Rich is one very tidy player, very able indeed. A nice easy deal all round and a good host too No worries here folks ! T

Why thank you Rich You have some nice basses there, including that Status collection. Meeting you has opened my eyes a bit to these basses and what they're about, something that was well overdue. They sound huge through that little giant and the Genz Benz neo cab. I finally got my hands on that AV62 Precision as well (and then had to let it go again, damn). I'm pretty sure the new owner will not be dissapointed. It's a real shame that's not going to be me !! Thanks for everything Rich, including the straightforward directions. Nice one. Hopefully we'll meet again at some point. In the meantime good luck with the shows mate T

This thread has shown one of the strengths of BC for me. It's such a blessing to be able to have the views of a blend of players all watching the same thing, as other folks really do see what I sometimes miss. Thanks to everyone that has commented, it's been an informative exercise T

increasingly looking like the 27th

[quote name='Bilbo' post='830448' date='May 7 2010, 10:38 AM']Interesting fred. I like my sound (as do the people I play with ) but I will try this on the gig I am doing tonight with my Neil Sedaka Tribute Band, 'Sweet Sixteen'. It will be interesting to see whether it helps or hinders![/quote] Will you be adding 'That'll be the day' by Buddy Holly on the side Bilbo ?
