I'd be happy to give anybody a lift, though it'll depend on how many cabs the organisers want me to bring as to how much room there is in the car.

wateroftyne Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Hi all It's confirmed - Sunday, March 1st, 2pm-5pm. The hall is nice and big, so bring your friends! Seaton Delaval Arts Centre Avenue Road Seaton Delaval Northumberland NE25 0DU [url="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=NE25+0DU&sll=55.073137,-1.525001&sspn=0.026683,0.062656&g=seaton+delaval%5D&ie=UTF8&ll=55.072311,-1.525919&spn=0.006671,0.015664&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr"]clicky for map[/url] It's not far from Blyth, Cramlington and Whitley Bay, and it's ten minutes from the north side of the Tyne Tunnel... just up the A19. The load-in is a doddle.. straight off the street into the hall. Parking isn't tricky, but you might need to leave your car in adjacent street. Tea & coffee will be available. As mentioned earlier, a couple of quid towards hall hire would be nice but optional. So... what y'all bringing?

JPJ Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 [quote name='wateroftyne' post='384793' date='Jan 19 2009, 11:14 AM']So... what y'all bringing? [/quote] Ok, well I'll bring my SWR750x and either one or two Goliath 4x10's or a Son of Bertha 1x15 (depends what the two 4x10s sound like together. Gigging them together for the first time in a couple of weeks). Bass-wise I'll bring my Overwater J 5 and either a Fender Jazz V DLX or my home built P thing. And as Mr Organiser has expressed an interest, I'll bring the PJB Bass Buddy along as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Fab stuff... I'll bring the usual: '71 & '73 Precisions '71 Fretless Precision Mesa MPULSE 600 Mesa Walkabout Scout 112 Schroeder 410L (if I still have it) And, just maybe... my new cabs. *raises eyebrow* Don't forget, folks... if you know someone on BC or otherwise who might be up for it, let them know. Don't leave it for them to stumble across this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppo75 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Guys, on the parking thing, I work for P&G, on the same road as the arts centre. Parking can be a bit of a beggar on weekends, so I'll suss out how far a walk it is (it'll be no more than 5 mins), and for those not wanting to leave vehicles on streets, I may be able to swing the use of the P&G car park (security on hand etc). If this would suit please let me know, and I'll see if the HR team are OK with it. I know it'd be a pain unloading gear, then moving the car, but I'm guessing it'd be a useful thing.

P&G (Or 'Shultons' as we call it round our way ) is a bit of a hike. Edited January 20, 2009 by wateroftyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truebassman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Am new to BC and playing bass (don't know the names of the notes yet !) but can make some interesting sounds. This sounds a good event to me. What I lack in experience I can probably make up for in talking crap. Looking forward to meeting some people who can 'play proper like'. Will contribute to food & drink. Shall I bring my £200 bass (OLP Stingray copy) I'm very proud of or will it just be embarassing/laughed at ? I'm the sort of person who would bring it in a plastic carrier bag ! Cheers Truebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hey tigers! It seems that we've secured the attendance of Dave Wilson. If you don't know Dave, he's a font of knowlege in all things bass. He's an incredible techie, luthier, repairer, does refins to die for, and is an all-round good guy. He served his formative years at Overwater, and also finishes instruments for Stefan Sobell, who makes acoustic instruments that cost more than all our houses put together. So he must be good. All the more reason to get yourselves along and chew the fat! (...Dave isn't fat. It's just a figure of speech.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
