The master classes last time were great, I hope Dave Marks does another. [/quote] Well, I meant the BC polo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Or 'putting faces to names' as they say - in our case, putting real names to screen names as well. I've met two BC members in person so far, and they are lovely. Looking forward to the Bass Show in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmettC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've always fancied this, but it's always clashed with something. Is it worth the trip from Edinburgh, or is it just a realy big bass shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think I will probably pop down for this. Will combine it with a visit to the Aged Parent. It would be great to meet up with some of you. I'll keep checking for details of time, place and secret handshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Sounds fantastic! Hope you'll join us, Seashell. I don't think we'll use passwords or secret handshakes! Probably best to stick to something like 'at 4pm at the cafe' and bring a piece of paper with 'BC' written on (as long as some smart alec doesn't come carrying another that reads 'AD' or sumfink...). At the moment I have a ticket for the Saturday, and will try to organise a meetup for that day. However, I may either buy another ticket or come after the show if we decide to meet up on the Sunday too. Emmett, the show isn't like a shop, in that it's more noisy and more crowded, and it's not that easy to hear the instruments, amps or effects you're trying out properly! But it's good for seeing a wide range of instruments and equipment, many of them newly released, in one place, getting info from the people manning the stands, and of course checking out masterclasses, auditorium gigs and demos/minigigs offered by musicians at some of the stands. It's yours to decide if that makes it worth a trip from Edinburgh. I hope you'll come along. Edited January 3, 2012 by bluejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozzie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 should you go, well my OH who isn't a bass player loved it, Shame i didn't get to see all the gigs or masterclasses, but hope to see more this year and Jodie as a non player was very impressed with the masterclass TM Stevens put on, i believe there is a clip of it somewhere on youtube.

Clarky72 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I went last year and within minutes wanted to kill every single one of the slappers there.. TM Stevemns was awesome, and the pub down the road made a fantastic roast for approximately the same price as one cup of lukewarm freeze dried coffee at the show. None the less the group of five of us will be heading up this year again, this time on the train to make the pub session more worthwhile....

daz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 [quote name='ped' timestamp='1325338940' post='1482265'] One day we will have a BC stand at the show. Probably just Nellie tied to a few kegs of beer and a half arsed logo sprayed on the wall. There might be some chairs. [/quote] Chairs, eh?

goblin Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'll be there Coming down for the weekend with 2 uni mates, makes it much cheaper as we can get a 3 bed hotel room cheaper than a single, and they'll both contribute to my petrol.

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I may or may not get a top, but I'll be there, and I'll soon start pestering everybody in a new thread so that we decide where, when and how to have a Basschat meetup at the show and/or after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ticket ordered for Saturday although I must say I,m not a fan of those 'Print out your own ticket' affairs, I'll have to go and buy some ink for the printer now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDWagstaff Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Me and a guy I know who's also on here are supposed to be going with our mate from Uni. I can't wait, I went to Bass Day in Manchester in 2010 and that was amazing so there's high hopes for this one haha.
