BassAgent Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'll be there for sure! I've booked my flight. Will be there on Saturday only, my girlfriend is coming along but has plans on Sunday. I'll probably hang out at the TecAmp stand mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william64 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi guys, never been to the London Bass Guitar Show. However, it looks I could be in London at that time. Do you think there is enough tickets available or it si better to buy the ticket in advance? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If you're certain to be able to attend, I'd go for the advance ticket, which allows you to skip the worst of the queue at the entrance, provided you arrive on time.

william64 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for your advice Bluejay as I hate queuing. When I am sure I am travelling to London, I will buy the advance ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Trujillo really is a pretty major name to have bagged for the show... Hopefully with some bigger names attending that will mean more of the major manufacturers can be persuaded to exhibit in future years Edited January 12, 2016 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 [quote name='such' timestamp='1452439032' post='2949924'] Robert Trujillo! [/quote] He's the current owner of a very special bass... You don't think he could be persuaded to bring it along do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I really wish he would, don't think that's very possible though. As far as I know, he considers himself more of a "guard" of the bass rather than an owner. As in, he paid for it and controls its whereabouts, but makes it available for "the Family" and/or special artists. It was at one of the NAMM shows since its recovery though, so who knows! If there's a way for it to happen, I really hope it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefbaker Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So for people who've been there before I have a question. I have the saturday ticket but it looks like I'm going to have to get in.... buy stuff... get out as I have a wedding evening do to go to so I'll have to leave the show at 1PM (booooo) is that enough time to get round a good few booths and figure out what to buy? I've no idea how big this thing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It's not massive, but there's enough there, it could be done in half a day. I always easily lose half a day, if not more, going to the masterclasses and live shows, and a little more watching the little jams organised at some of the stands. Even then I still have enough time to get around and try what I want to try, and buy whatever I've planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I don't think I'd be happy to do the show in just three hours, but if that's all the time you have, make sure to arrive at the venue at least 20 mins before the doors open. Once in, have a clear idea of what your priorities are - first of all, check out the stands you want to visit, have a look round for what you want to buy, and then, if you have time, check out the masterclasses and the performances which happen to be on while you're there.

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) You have a point! For me, the best part of the show are the masterclasses, immediately followed by the performances (on stage or at the booths), then the actual stands and, especially, the people working on them. So it's a whole-day activity because there's always something happening somewhere that you want to be part of.
