BassBod Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks again to the organisers - p#ssing rain and crap traffic couldn't ruin the fun! Highlights for me - the chance to play an Eminence, Wal ProIIE and see some lovely Shukers..and to meet some of the real life BChatters I've been talking to for a few years. Now I've got to decide which bass gets the new strings.....I like that sort of problem. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Especially annoyed I missed this now, the practice I booked before the kind offers of a lift came in (cheers dudes) failed due to a drummer not showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 What a great day, made the journeys in that godawful weather well worthwhile. Nice to meet you all, some good laughs had and some lovely gear lusted over and, best of all, all at a sensible volume with hardly any slap For me, basses of the day were the Eminence EUB and that stunning Marleaux fretless 5. GAS moment of the day was hearing my Shuke through Drewie's Bergatino cabs just when I though I was completely happy with my rig... Many, many thanks to Si and Drewie for sorting it all out.

Schnozzalee Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks for the heads up! Was a great bitta fun, hope you arrange another one soon! It was awesome trying out and chatting to BCers about their basses - Garbev's tobias, Pkomors Stingray with flats and Bassbods beefy clifton headless. Alun's six string bass jam was awesome n I finally got to meet Si! Place was full of great gear (the Nordy and Marleux) and great people!! Thanks very much. ALSO Found out what that Ice tone thing does on the lightwave!! Turn it down and it gives less definition and gives a hell of a lot more thump like a P bass (cracking slap tone) I think i've found my holy grail...

Schnozzalee Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Oooh! N I tried out that Shuker P - made the ground vibrate haha, should be an easy sell, built like a tank, wicked bridge on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N I tried out that Shuker P - made the ground vibrate haha, should be an easy sell, built like a tank, wicked bridge on it![/quote] Ha ha I should point out that some wag swapped my "For sale" and "Never for sale ever" signs between my Shuker P5 (never for sale!) and the P bass which is for sale Being "on reception" for most of the afternoon kept me out in the cold (hence the hat ) and away from the chat and action but I did get a go on a few things including Bassbots surpsingly delightful small bodied and short scale fretless Cherry Clifton wearing sexy black Roto nylons. Although I generally don't like short scale, small body basses or nylon covered strings this particular bass was really nice to play. If I had a big room full of dream things one of those would be in there. Did anyone get a picture? I think it's one of these [url="http://www.cliftonbasses.co.uk/page18.html"]Clifton Cherry Bass[/url] Edited November 30, 2009 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yes, that's the one. But mine hasn't got any electronics and the usual aluminium bride/tailpiece is made of rosewood instead. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=37380:DSCN1099.JPG][/quote] I loved that 36 scale headless 5 string, it's got an amazing low 'B'. Just goes to show what a difference two extra inches make, although I did have trouble reaching that low C. Si, don't suppose you got any shots of Jase's (?) lovely fretless Wal?

simon1964 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Looks like a great day! I like the idea of bringing along a tame drummer - we'll have to remember that for the next Nottingham bash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Interesting to see that although there was almost as many makes of cabinet represented as attendees, the amp score was one nice warm toasty Sunn valve amp, one EA, one Genz Benz Shuttle and what, 8 Markbass head of various types...
