[quote name='molan' post='1322073' date='Jul 31 2011, 12:04 PM']Looks like I'll be away again this year - almost always off end of Sept into early Oct [/quote]

That's alright Barrie. After all, how many bassists would [b][i]really [/i][/b]have any interest in seeing a Fodera Victor Wooten Yin Yang & '86 Monarch, NG Monarch Replica, Celinder J Update & Vintage J, Godin Semi, Fender '78 & '10 J's & '63 & '72 P's, Zon Sonus FL, Sadowsky NYC4?



Ah well, next year maybe.

I do believe I'm free, so am keen to come along. Anything in my signature anyone fancies trying out?

The fretted Paris if it's still about

Anyone on here reckon it's worth a transport thread, to see who can bring who (or what)?
For myself I know I can't drive there, can always come by train but will limit how much gear I bring, and I know others are in a similar situation?

It's in The Gallery as a commission sale now. I'd bring it if someone was interested in buying it, for sure

If I had the money I'd be interested, but alas not Good luck with the sale though, I'm sure it'll be just right for someone!

I'll make a similar offer with my sig, though as above it's transport dependent

Need more raffle donations people, check the thread and give us stuff to raffle off

I quite fancy this but am wondering about doing it by train. How far is the station? What is the nearest mainline station? The route suggested to me by train line.com is into Euston and then out again. I figure it would be easier to hit a bigger place the night before and truck across by train from there on the morning. It would be a 6/7 hour haul by car with the Friday night traffic and it would be lovely to avoid that.

TIA

I had to get there by train last year from London, I got a cab to the venue and it cost me just shy of a tenner, and I got a lift back to a convenient bus stop which got me all the way back to Brixton, but the taxi guy who dropped me off said he was happy to do the return trip to the station later. Either way it was easy enough to get a cab and it didn't take long.

A tenner????? Blimey that's a lot, I get cabs to the next towns for less than that around Addlestone! I'll get a few quotes and post up the cab co. numbers for you when I get a chance.

[TomKent]

I've just realised how close this is starting to get now..

Exited much?!

[gapiro]

Slightly intrigued by this, but would be coming from cambridge, and am complete noob. Whats the low down on what happens etc?

Nearest stations are Addlestone & Chertsey.

15 mins walk from Addlestone, about 25 mins from Chertsey.

If anyone is coming by train, I could perhaps pick up from those stations, although if anyone coming could arrange to meet any others getting there by train at Addlestone/Chertsey on the same arrivals it would mean less ferrying around.

[Owen]

Thanks for all the offers of transport from stations, but on reflection I think I will probably drive down and split the journey down overnight.

[dc2009]

Bugger it, booked my flights for my trip to Finland last night and have now just realised I'm gonna miss this by a day, which is fairly gutting.

I think in lieu of this I'm going to instigate a London Bass pint night perhaps for sometime soon, let me know if anyone would be interested in a general social gathering in some central London pub!

Bunch of bassists and kit in a big room.

Lots of chat, rather informative or not, lots of drooling at expensive kit.

Several cups of tea later you go home after a very pleasant time.

If you're very lucky you dont find yourself selling a kidney to buy something new and shiny the following week.....

+1 to all of that plus there are no egos and last year minimal slappage! Some good talks and some great gear to try out, everyone always seems happy for you to try out their rig/bass etc. Tis a great day out no matter what your standard of playing is!

Edited to add.......Don't be put off if you have an ego or into slap, all welcome!

Talk to HappyJack or Clarky, this happens fairly regularly (well compared to the bashes lol)

To be honest it was around £7 I think from the station - sorry I live in London and have a slightly warped sense of how much stuff costs - I'm used to being ripped off - I've been to Norway 4 times and that's even worse i.e. a pint = £9 - it's silly I know - but considering I don't drive but do own a car (ironically) with my misses I am fully aware of just how expensive driving is now - so a tenner here and there on cabs seems relatively good value somehow!

If anyone is driving from London and can offer me a lift I'll gladly pay petrol money - I'll be able to bring an extra bass if I can get a lift too - I'm based in Brixton but am happy to meet in central London or near Victoria or similar if that's easier.... let me know

Thanks

Mike

Looking like I'm gonna have to miss this now.... or if I do make it - it will be without any gear & late in the afternoon

[MacDaddy]

I have just had a family commitment sprung on me that I can't get out of, which now means I am unable to make the Bash

can the next person to update the list please delete me while I go sulk...

[AndyW]

Cool, was just thinking about getting in touch with the UK Bass crew since just moving to London (after 11 years in the Netherlands)!

Will see if I can pop across (job dependant) and can bring one of my Adamovic Basses plus my pedalboard (Aguilar Agro, Eventide Pitchfactor, TC Polytune and Flashback) if that interests anyone? Will have to go by train so won't be able to bring the Aguilar Rig unfortunately (AG500, DB410 and SL410). Will keep you posted!

Hey URB, just saw you are living right nearby (I'm 5 minutes from Clapham North), have enjoyed watching your instructional clips when I was in Holland so must meet up for a beer/chat sometime!

Cheers,

Andy

Looks like I'll be doing the 'take son's stuff back to university' run to Guildford that day so I'm hoping to call in at some point. Don't think I'll be able to bring much with me though - why do students these days have some much stuff? Mine used to fit into a Mini van.

[silverfoxnik]

Hi Folks

I've been away a lot lately, so haven't looked at the thread or updated it much as a result. Later tonight I'll update the attendees list, news on the raffle/charities and also the workshops!

Just 2 weeks to go now

All the best

Nik
