I've already been there!

[EssentialTension]

I think that's a bad date for me.

[Hamster]

Nik will be along sometime over the weekend to start to add some detail to the day. I expect we'll be asking for donations to a prize raffle as usual, so start dusting off your Alembics and '58 Fenders to donate!

[Silvia Bluejay]

In diary!

[bumnote]

have you got the date right?

I'll need to get a quote on a pre-owned time machine. If I get one at a decent price anyone want a trip back with me?

[Billy Apple]

Should be able to make it

[jakenewmanbass]

I will try to be there again.

If you do get the time machine in time, then I'd be happy to share petrol money / plutonium for the flux capacitor.

Lolz - the perils of posting in your tea breaks!!!

[Happy Jack]

I'll be there.

Need a drummer?

[barneyg42]

No gigs+No work=no problem!!!

Can't wait!

I'll let Nik answer that one. If Paul can't make it, I have a mate who is 60 seconds away from the school who is a pro rock (UFO) drummer who I can approach.

[Stingray5]

See you there.

[Hamster]

If you want to volunteer your services/skills to present a seminar/idiots guide to something then please contact silverfoxnik.

Jake Newman - Can I put you down for a Dubstep masterclass? - but you must wear a tuxedo.

Also - put your suggestions down for something (apart from bacon butties and free beer) that you would find really helpful. None of us are so proud that we think we know everything about every genre/aspect of bass playing.

Corporate Supporters: - If you are from a manufacturer/music shop/business that is involved with the low end - then get involved here! BassDay 2012 / NAMM 2012 it is not - but it is a great bunch of people who will spread the word about your product/services in your South East area.

Left field idea, I do vocal workshops. Would any of you guys who do backing vocals, lead vocals, or otherwise! be interested in a workshop on vocals? The technique I teach (SLS) gets voices in shape incredibly quickly and with others to hear you'd be surprised at how quickly results can be gained even in a short period of time. I'd be able to work with individuals and fix trouble areas in the workshop as well as do a Q&A on various things. I can also do one-on-one lessons whilst there if anyone is interested. Do post here to express interest and/or PM where relevant.

Alternatively, on a more bass-related front, I'd be happy to introduce some players to the wonders of bass synth!

[TomKent]

I'm in!

[silverfoxnik]

Cool ideas folks!

So it's a yes to:

1) A drummer
2) The bass synth workshop idea and
3) the vocals one too

Thanks

Nik

[51m0n]

I should be there as usual.

Dunno if anyone would want to put up with me banging on about anything again this year. If anyone does fancy another comical tirade about the perils of one knob compressors or the lies that abound in the world of recordings then feel free to ask....

[TheGreek]

I'll see how many I can round up to come this year..

What about Raffle Prizes??

Yep, please do - either of the above.

[Mikey R]

Ok, what would be really interesting, and would put alot of myths to bed:

1) create a sampled loop of a bass playing live on the day.
2) play this out through a cranked valve amp into one of Alexs cabs
3) put an volt meter or similar measuring device on the output of the amplifier, so that we can get a rough estimate of the RMS voltage (yes, I know P=V^2/R - bear with me)
4) record the spl coming out of the speaker - possibly whist observing from the next county.
5) swap out the valve amp for a solid state amp
6) match the spl
7) measure the voltage RMS required to get the same SPL.
8) calculate the difference in power and / or dB required to match the two.

Does anyone have any kit to try out this experiment?

Sounds fun. I could donate a Matamp GT200 Head for the valve bit. And you'd be welcome to turn the knob to full if you like, I know I have.

Ahh, brilliant!

So, we need some kind of loop sampler, an SPL meter, a voltmeter, a couple of Compacts (Alex? ), and a nice big solid state amp (Merton?)
