If you still have it by that time, I'd be very interested in playing your Epiphone Les Paul actually as I think it looks fantastic. It'd certainly be good to meet you and the rest of the peeps properly. Naturally, getting the train, I'd be travelling light, so one bass, possibly a small amp and maybe a few pedals. I don't know what folk would be interested in trying that I own as since quite a lot of it is "pointy," or dare I say it, "mental," it does sometimes put people off. I say bring your most mental one. Vive la difference! Quote

I'll second going for the pointiest one you have! What's the overall collection like? 1 Quote

What's the overall collection like? Well, most of my collection is a bit mental so I'll list the more weird ones. I'll list them in "declining pointy order" if you want. Pictures to hand of the first 2 if you want a laugh.

Geek99 Posted Sunday at 18:08 Posted Sunday at 18:08 (edited) Not promising anything, but I’ll talk to the management. Assuming that a mere Sire V7 might interest someone in such otherwise august company of Sei, top bracket fenders and so on The lady of chateau geek is going to Devon in a few weeks so I don’t see why I can’t take 1.5 days off (I need to take the drive slowly as I’m not allowed to drive too far in one go for medical reasons) what time is kickoff? id love to try a db @Rosie C and it would be a pleasure to meet Scottish alter-ego @neepheid Edited Sunday at 18:18 by Geek99 3 Quote

Richard R Posted Sunday at 20:01 Posted Sunday at 20:01 Definitely bringing the Brawley 5 and 4 string basses. Rarely seen in the UK, except at Bass Bashes. Will bring the Roland V-bass system fitted on an HB MusicMan-like, if I still have it. This is huge fun and does a pretty good impersonation of many other basses in a live mix. It's going up for sale next week though. 2 Quote

It's a curious bass as I had it made so you can use it either stereo or mono. Much like a Rickenbacker or Series Alembic. It's not as hard to play as some people might think if you put your arm on the wing a la John Entwistle as I am in the photo. I kind of didn't want to bring an instrument that you couldn't buy anymore (like the Status buzzard or Warmoth 8 string Explorer) and as Grainger will make that for you if you wish, it seems like the best way to go.

The shelf! I had an Explorer bass, am well acquainted with the shelf. It's surprisingly comfortable. 1 Quote
