BassBiscuit Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 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....! 1 Quote
Machines Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I did last year demoing for Darkglass which was fun. Will be there this year again both days, mostly on BassDirect stand :). Quote
visog Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Website is terrible and it doesn't look auspicious for bass given the GUITAR!Ā (and bass) show promotion. Quote
Jackroadkill Posted January 7 Posted January 7 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).Ā I'm hoping for the same this year. 1 Quote
walshy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Yeah I will be there ( Vintage Bass Room ) Ā with @AndyTravisĀ 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 5 Quote

rwillett Posted January 8 Posted January 8 If @neepheidĀ 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 š 1 Quote

Ā 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? 1 3 Quote

I might have missed them completely otherwise.Ā I have a busy gig weekend this year alas, so I won't be going. Quote

AlexDelores Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Iāll be going on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed last year. šĀ Ā Ā 2 Quote
skelf Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Hi Ā 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.Ā Ā AlanĀ 3 Quote

skelf Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Just to confirm I will be lurking down stairs with the guitar people.Ā š Ā Quote
Richard R Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I had a great time last year. Having most of the basses upstairs was good, and actually it wasn't too noisy as everyone respected the quiet times Ā I probably won't make it this year, which is a shame.Ā Quote
