Think it’s tail end of Feb 

 

I’ll be there with Walshy.

 

we do it every year, like a bass version of brokeback mountain

Thanks.

A bit of looking on t'interweb says it's on 28/2 and 1/3 and at the same place...

Am hoping to go....!

I did last year demoing for Darkglass which was fun. Will be there this year again both days, mostly on BassDirect stand :).

Website is terrible and it doesn't look auspicious for bass given the GUITAR! (and bass) show promotion.

Last year the top floor was set aside for bass (and the performance area, I suppose, which was full of widdly guitarists and their 12,000 pedals, but we don't talk about them).  I'm hoping for the same this year.

Yeah I will be there ( Vintage Bass Room )  with @AndyTravis and a plethora of basses and amps/merch. Don't be put off by The Guitar Show, they are contained to downstairs while the cool bass cats have the upstairs to themselves, completely widdle-free! Its a very cool couple of days and plenty of Bass stuff, Bass Direct, Ashdown, Spector, Dingwall... As soon as I have a confirmed list of who's exhibiting I will pop it on here. Come by and say hello if you're coming

All BC folks signed up to the Abstinence Thread must attend by order of the Committee. @neepheid

[rwillett]

If @neepheid is going to the show. I'll need to make sure I'm away that weekend lest he entice me into bad ways such as buying things 😊

Lion's mouth, meet my head...

Might well drag myself along this year

Is that any worse though, than the sound of multiple cutlery drawers being flung down a stone stair well which is the default noise produced at bass shows?

Last year I ventured downstairs for a look round, and it's a good job I did because that's where ACG were lurking. I might have missed them completely otherwise. 

I have a busy gig weekend this year alas, so I won't be going.

Yeah that was a strange one, hopefully they can sort that and get them upstairs where they belong

I’ll be going on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed last year. 🙏

Hi

 

I will be downstairs again in my usual spot. Been going to the Birmingham show for many years and have always done it with my friend Haydn Williams a guitar builder. It is very helpful to have someone that can look after the shop if either of us has to leave. I will not be in the bass room upstairs so please drop by if you want to see what I have available to try and buy.
