Since he sometimes comes with you, I was joking that it was him…..

Only seven months to go, must be time to start an attendee/ gear list 😁

 

@Richard R - Brawley 5 string, V-bass gear, amp and confusion.

If anyone is up for helping out on the day then let me know. We'll divvy up jobs closer to the day.

 

Last bash @Andyjr1515 gave us an excellent lesson on how to set up a bass properly. I have an idea for a different guest speaker this year, but I'e not made contact yet. Any suggestions welcome.

I’ll bring a sire v7/5, an acoustic bass and a bh250 with a hard-hitting cab straight outta Compton … I mean Coalville though some days you could easily confuse them 

 

and an extension lead 

[tauzero]

I'll bring a Sei or two, an Antoniotsai, maybe the Esh Poseidon V, a BC cab or two with amps to match (TC BAM200 and Tecamp Puma 900 should do), maybe the Barcus bass and the Shuker if I've got it back from Jon by then. And if something interesting happens to the OLP Tony Levin, I'll bring that too.

[Stub Mandrel]

I'll bring something.  Fancy bringing stuff people will think is shite but sounds killer.

I think I'm free and up for this!

I'd be happy to help out if you need.

Personally, I'd LOVE a masterclass on setting up a Bass!


EDIT: I don't have any Wals or Alembics or anything... happy to bring my MusicMans/MusicMen and pedalboard if they're of any interest to anyone...

I'd be happy with a primary school class TBH.

The whole point is bring what you've got. I've never played a proper musicman or a bongo, still on the list, but I played a Harley Benton one year that I way preferred to a Wal.

[petecarlton]

Can someone with more tech knowhow/experience than me please start a proper list?

 

I'll be bringing my Shuker JJ Burnel Signature Lite P-bass (AKA the "Nuclear Device"), a Hofner HCT Contermporary 500/1, an NS WAV 4 headless, a first-batch Sterling by Music Man one-knob Joe Dart and a 1970s hollowbody thought to be a Columbus, but it may be an Epiphone!  Amplification TBC, but may include my ex-The Script Ashdown ABM Evo II 600 and a Warwick Gnome i Pro v2 and a handbuilt cab bought from The Fasting Showman and imho better than the Barefaced One10 that I had before.
