ngombe Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 [quote name='mhuk' post='17831' date='Jun 14 2007, 08:11 PM']Look - yes; but sound/ play like? no. Personally not so bothered about amps/ cabs, more keen to have a play with as many basses as possible (however mundane they may be to some ) [/quote] more than happy to bring one. I'm quite new here and with so much bass porn flying around it's quite easy to start assuming everyone else has a private arsenal of basses that'd shame a small trade show. There'll only be room for one though - I'm leaving room for Mikey's gear cos it looks amazing. Quick show of hands then between now and saturday: a ) Stingray - I need to feel the funk! b ) US Precision - I like my groove rocksteady c ) Cort - It's the middle way for me.

Gazm Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm still going, will be bringing my rig, Ric and either my Yamaha TRB6 II or Warwick Streamer Std 5 fretless (can't play either of em lol ). I'll try to get all three in but it will be a bit of a kerfuffle :wacko: Joe, my vote is for the Stingray. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuk Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Stingray and Precision if poss (if only to compare to mine). Never tried a Rick. No bass born here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngombe Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I've never played a Rick either so that one gets my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAS Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi guys, been down in London doing some family stuff so a bit off-line. Apologies for hiatus of info. Glad several of you are still able to come. Still assuming this is all going ahead. As previously noted I've got the SWR + Epifani stack, the Ashdown 210-300 combo, and SWR Workingman 12 and a Mackie P.A. (SRM450s plus Sub) with three passive DI boxes and a SansAmp Bass DI, so that should provide some basic noise making for those just bringing basses. It would be great of any/all could bring cameras so we can have some kind of record of the event and maybe even post a few here. Any refreshments brought (whether alco or not) most welcome. My other half is having to stay down in London so the house fare will be a bit primitive I'm afraid (baguettes, cheese, pate, maybe some salad). I'm assuming all who need have directions. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Nick S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I just had a thought...I didn't even consider effects units!! I have a Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere, a Pigtronix Envelope Phaser (EP-1) and an electro-harmonix Bass microsynth I can bring if anyone is interested in any of them!?

Spikyhedgehog Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I only just noticed this, not a million miles away from me at all. I would've popped along if it wasn't for my exams. Let us know if it all goes well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAS Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Forecast is dry in the morning but showers in the afternoon tomorrow. Not too much flooding locally so should be OK. Not sure about all routes coming in though. NS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAS Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Well phew - 6 hours of bass mayhem later and the house is still here! Thank you to: . Gazm for kicking this all off again and for the thunderous rig and Ric. The Warwick fretless got a lot of, surprisingly good, playing too. . Bernmeister for re-educating us about Squiers. Nice SWR stack. . skywalker for letting me fiddle (!?) with his bass and bringing Robert - ace photographer - hope to get some up on display soon. . Bloodaxe for a vintage set of Arias which acquired a new set of battle scars! Loved the little Epi cab too. Hope Mark and Mike enjoyed themselves. . ngombe and Mikey D for bringing the elegant Phil Jones suitcase and extension, that outrageous 7 string, and providing some of the most musical moments of the afternoon. . mhuk for the genuine P bass for comparison purposes and the surprisingly versatile Bach. . beerdragon - I hope Gareth and you had enough opportunity given time limitations to check things out - thanks for making it all this way. Hope I've remembered everyone and got the handles right! Everyone brought much more kit than mentioned above and I hope the pictures will recapture the moment better than my memory. Apologies to those who expressed interest and couldn't make it. The general consensus seemed to be that it was a worthwhile exercise and that it might be nice to do again sometime. So I'll be scanning the calendar to see if we can do a repeat performance - if there are others who'd like to join us next time then watch this space. Best to all, Nick S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
