TomKent Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Should be able to rock up at about 10-10:30 depending on weather and traffic. No confirmation on my guest, so it looks as if it'll just be me! Might need someone to look at my amp too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Good News! ..amazingly, Happy Jack is now able to make the Bash on Saturday and he is bringing his drummer Paul with him (who was there last year). And I have managed to acquire a small drum kit as well, so we are in a 'Go' situation with regards to the Jam Room!! Jack will also help run the Quiet Room, albeit with slightly less mobility than last year! Thanks in advance to Jack and Paul for offering to help, Josh for the loan of teh kit and Walman for helping with bringing it along on the day..

51m0n Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='1035947' date='Nov 25 2010, 09:46 AM']Thanks guys! How about you do the 11am slot John and maybe another session later as people arrive through the day - we could set up a seperate space for you as the Foyer is so large.. And 51m0n, what about you doing the 1pm slot? So it'd look like this: Workshop 1: 11 am - johnnylager - setups Workshop 2: 12 pm - urb - music theory & music media Workshop 3: 1pm - 51m0n - compression & compressors Workshop 4: 2pm - alexclaber - bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice Phil - we're booked until 6pm I think but because it'll be dark by then and the weather might be bad, it would be best to wrap up at 5pm I think..

Born 2B Mild Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hello from the parky north. I'm actually setting off in a few minutes for the bash ...no I'm not that slow ...just need to do things on the way! The disappointing news is that Jon Shuker advises me to avoid coming to his workshop this morning. As some of you might be aware, it is in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, so not a place to go in the current conditions if it can be helped. So, no Shuker Satinline prototype this time However, I will be bringing a selection of tasty basses! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnylager Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) Down to more serious matters, who's running the bar? Edited November 26, 2010 by johnnylager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) I can't run the bar, but I do have a Zoom Rhythmtrack 123 for the jam room that I should be able to bring (will dust it off tonight) might need someone to provide an amp for it though. (I might be able to use my ashdown mag300 if I can find a cab for it) be warned I don't really know how to use it.

barneyg42 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Couple of things, bringing rig, Superfly+Crown power amp, Acme Low B+1x15, Yammy fretless and Status fives. Got a Danelectro tuner to put in the raffle and a Zoom B2 for sale. Also if anyone needs picking up from a local station say between 9-10am drop me a pm and see what we can work out.

xilddx Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Nik, I'll assume there's no drummer so I'll not bring the strat. [b]Would you let the guy bringing the Fender guitar amp that he doesn't need to now. Thank you![/b] Sorry this is late in the day, I've been blue arsed for the last few days and got to go to a gig now. I'll bring the Warwick Corvette $$ with DR Neons on instead. See you about 9am mate. Cheers. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 That would be me. I think there is a drummer coming, along with Happy Jack who can now make it? Anyway, I'll stick it in the car regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
