Billy Apple Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1414867080' post='2594198'] Just out of interest, does anybody know any more about the P bass electronics that I won as a raffle prize???

Bassman Steve Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Another brilliant day out with some very friendly old and new faces. Some very interesting gear on view - esp the new Boogie valve head. Thanks to Nik et al for organising such a great event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just the one pic for the moment - taken in the foyer just before the raffle. Unfortunately quite a few people had had to leave before we took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 BTW, I think I ended up with a cable that isn't mine. But it is exactly the same as mine (except mine has a bit of gaffa tape wound round it) so I suppose fair exchange is no robbery! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero9 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks for a great event, especially to Colin and Nik. Well worth the round trip from Peterborough. It was a pleasure meeting lots of likeminded people and bang on about bass stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yup, a great day. Thanks Nic and Colin and all Basschatters for great mateyness. Some fab amps in the shoot-out. My back's feeling better already, Jack. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) And may I add, if you want to hear where that amp shootout bassline came from, head over to the BC (re)mixing challenge and you'll hear BCers' remixes of the original song by the band I'm in, London Zulu. Then you'll really hear how out of time I played it If you're interested, the bass you heard going through the rigs was recorded to Logic 9 direct from a POD X3 LIVE, the patch was a modelled Acoustic 360, generic 1x18 cab with a U47 room mic, a touch of reverb and compression. Bass was a 1983 Fender USA Standard Jazz with a maple board, neck pickup only, tone and volume full up.

Johnm93 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1414866893' post='2594195'] A great day. So lovely to catch up with some folks I haven't seen in a while and to meet some new faces. Bass players are such cool people. And Paul the Drums is awesome. :-) [/quote] Oh yes - a great event. Well done to everyone who organised and presented. Yes - Paul on drums was great. When's the next one!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Home; a chance to unwind and relax now after a great day! Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a success.. In particular, Hamster & Mrs Hamster for looking after us so well. Also, Jack for such an invaluable talk, bluejay for keeping us all connected and looking our best.. Paul for keeping us grooving in the Jam Room. Plus Roger for treating us all to a go on those amazing DBs of his. I actually managed to do an F maj scale on one of them and am still in a state of shock as a result! And I'd like to thank Ian, Steve, ChiMike and everyone else who helped out with the Solid state Vs Valve Amp Shoot out.. It was a bit of a blag to be honest, but we got there in the end - didn't we?? Anyway, as ever, it was great to see some good friends again and make some new ones.. Here's to next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Although less busy than last year's the day flew by, and I enjoyed it for different reasons. Now I have to try shrink the XL Basschat tee shirt I won in the raffle, to a SO size (short arse). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there's not a music shop in the country where you could hear such a varied bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Looks like a great time was had by all and my thanks of course to everyone involved. I know how much time and effort it takes to organise one of these and I say it every year - meets like this really help bind together the community. Sorry I couldn't make it this year but if it's any consolation at all, I did have a haircut today. Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTB Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My thanks to Nik & Colin too. Good to see some friends old & new. I arrived just as Jack's talk was ending so I'll be looking on You Tube and trying it out in the privacy of my home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 As always lots of fun, thankyou to everyone who organised! Had to leave before the group photo to get to my gig in Kent, oh well, always next year Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Some good A-framing going on in that pic! If I'd known there was an Acoustic rig in the raffle I'd have bought some tickets and hung around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Got back safely last night. Super knackered after a five hours in the car in total, but super day yesterday catching up with old friends and having a good natter with whole new ones. Got to jam with Paul and generally have a great time Thanks to Nik and Colin for putting on the bash, and to everyone who contributed. The Pilates workout really limbered me up. Must say, even after lugging stuff about, had a fantastic nights' sleep Looking forward to the Herts bash and SE Bash 2015. Maybe we'll come up with a different gear shoot-out? Can't wait!
