olipaulo Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm such a dumb ass... I'm sorry, but I wasn't reading this post since a long time ago, and I thought that the meeting was on the 17-18 weekend. I already bought my flight for the 8-11 weekend, to see the wife back at home... I really wanted to go, because I'm leaving the UK at the end of this month... It was a chance to trade sounds, experiences and stories with you all. I really hope all the work done by John may be rewarding for everyone who attends. Thank you, John, for all your efforts, and once more, I'm sorry... Maybe another opportunity will rise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindupras Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Unless there is a catastrophe, I'll definitely be there on the 11th. By the way, is anyone bringing interesting cabs to the bash? I'm asking because I'm not 100% satisfied with my cabs (they sound ace, but I'm still getting some unwanted distortion/farting on loud low notes at gigs) so I'd be very interested to hear or try out good quality, lightweight, loud cabs. - martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I am hoping to but at the moment it is looking a bit dodgy. If I can I'll bring my Shuker JJB, a P bass too? If I can make it I could bring my cabs n head too. What is the address again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martindupras Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Is there anyone who is interested in seeing/hearing/trying out my Traynor YBA-200 valve head? It's not for sale, but I figured that since they're not that common in this country someone might like to have a go. If there's no interest, I won't bring it, though. - martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martindupras Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'll try my best. I've lent it to someone in the mean time but I'll see if I can swing by theirs on Sunday. I'd be curious to hear the Compact with my Fusion. And I've never played an Eden head before, I'm very curious to hear what an Eden head sounds like in an Eden cab. - martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone ahead and booked a venue/date as it seemed the only way to get a bash "going". If I'm there by myself, I'll win all the raffles prizes..! 11th July 2-5 p.m In Shaftesbury. Map link below. Shaftesbury Christian Centre, Christies Lane, Shaftesbury SP7 8PH Venue is free (Big low ceiling hall), free parking, free tea & coffee in a nice coffee bar area, bogs, Tesco over the road, nice pubs in town and Gold Hill is worth a visit. [url="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=SP7+8PH&hl=en&ei=6kvRS9CNOJeTjAeFwKHBBA&vps=2&jsv=230b&sll=51.008435,-2.189405&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&view=map&geocode=FZdSCgMdOpTe_w&split=0&iwloc=A&ved=0CBIQpQY&sa=X"]http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=SP7+8PH&am...BIQpQY&sa=X[/url] Not exclusive to Dorset dwellers, just easier to call it a Dorset bash as there was some debate as to whether Shaftesbury could be called South West Will get a local luthier to come along for some "set up", general guitar care advice and a drummer for a "jam" (ACM graduate). Be nice to give both some dosh for their time, so maybe a small contribution from those that attend? I'll attempt to extract some goodies from music retailers for a raffle in aid of basschat. If anyone is coming that works in shops around and about the dorset/wilts/somerset/hants area please feel free to badger the owners for some freebies. If you could let me know who's able to come, then I can make a list and have an idea of numbers. Bring your gear (the weird and the wonderful) and your plectrums/fingers and we'll have some fun, should be a grin.

BassBod Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Amp wise I'm thinking of just bringing some preamp exotica - Alembic F2B with SWR MR Tone controls - Pure valvey goodness and mega para-tweakability you really just don't need! But its just fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Rumble Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Just Decided to bring along my Tecamp Puma350 amp that I want to sell all shiny and new it is only been out of the house once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Looking forward to trying one of those excellent Barefaced Compacts. I'll be bringing a Yamaha BB1100S with pickups, tuners and bridge suitably upgraded. Fitted with a set of TI flats. My amplification is currently a work in progress - so that will be staying at home.

deaver Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Okey dokey, should definitely be there now. Will come armed with a bunch of recent acquisitions; MTD Kingston Heir, Alembic Spoiler and LM2.

oldslapper Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'll probably bring my battered old double bass and Bassix EUB for anyone to have a bash on, specially if you've never played an upright before. I'll chuck some side markers on so you can get an idea where you are. I don't expect to get much playing done, if any, as I'm sure to be busy. But happy to bring my minis along (4x8 & 1x15) if anyone fancies hearing them with the LMII? Not very exotic gear I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
