Sean Posted Sunday at 21:03 Posted Sunday at 21:03 It's the same distance from me as the SW Bass Bash, so it seems silly not to go. Put me on the list, please. Quote

Sean Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago (edited) How do we feel about me approaching someone I know to do a talk on pickups? He is very very good with an audience and does it for a living. I reckon if we got the numbers up to 40+ I could convince him. It's just a matter of whether we're actually interested. If we videoed it, and put it on The You Tube, as Uncle Bryn calls it, it could be worth while for him. Edited 21 hours ago by Sean 1 Quote

NancyJohnson Posted 19 hours ago Author Posted 19 hours ago I've had an email from Colin Moulding/XTC: Paul It sounds like a worthy cause, and the money is not an issue , but I can't really say right now whether I’ll be available. I prefer to react to stuff when it comes through, so making a date , 4 months hence, would not be right for me. Sorry for the lack of committal Best Colin While it's a great pity he's declined at this point, I've thanked him for taking the time to come back to me. 2 Quote

I got exactly the same response from my electronics guru friend when I suggested he comes along with some of his home-made valve amps. Mind you I doubt he'd want to do a talk, but it is fun looking inside these things with someone who has an oscilloscope and knows what all the parts do! Quote

Pickups are one of those areas that are going to be an awful lot more complex than at first sight...

SimonK Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago ...would inviting a youtuber or two be too much? Someone like Danny Sapko would be an interesting addition, and Andertons is very close... Quote
cetera Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Finding people who do stuff for free is tricky, especially if they have to travel any distance... Lee Voss from Andertons came a few years back but he's now mainly on their video side. I can invite him as I know him... Quote

I might be able to find some BC funds to pay for such an attendance if we are able to agree on someone that fits, who wants to come anyway and doesn't need convincing with cash (which is how I ended up being a chippendale) Quote
