Will be there on the Saturday. Be good to catch up with people over some mildly over-priced coffee.

Just got my itinerary for Friday - Sunday so looks like I'm not going to be able to make this one sadly!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1499947551' post='3334720'] I'm a big fat question mark for this......so I won't put myself in the list yet. Mrs out in the morning (so I have Finn), then I have a gig in the evening. We'll see. Si [/quote] Same position (minus child-watching duties). Will probably make a choice on the day.

Actually don't think I said if I was going or not, yet. Anyway, I'm there with Aguilar - trying to bag me a 4x10 desperately..

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1457441015' post='2998542'] I've got 3 pieces of advise: 1) Take some ear plugs 2) Ear plugs, definitely take some 3) Don't forget your ear plugs Si [/quote] Not sure if Si mentioned this, but definitely don't forget your earplugs.

I'm about to start working with a new artist whom has asked me about using only an acoustic bass - the problem is.. I don't have one. I'm looking at Godin's, however I'm coming up against a brick wall in terms of acquiring one without paying over the odds (or waiting slightly longer than I would like to). What other brands do we think of (in the Godin shape)? I would happily consider other shapes, just quite like how Godin's look and play. Thanks in advance.

Going to have to give this a miss I'm afraid people! Playing the O2 in the evening and load in is 2pm (or earlier) so I'd only be able to stay for an hour or so from 10am. Next time!

Just been told this was going on, not visiting BC regularly due to a hectic lifestyle lol! Will try and show my face, however won't have anything to display as I can almost guarantee I'll need to leave at 1pm for a gig.

Must say in general the volume was a good 50% quieter than last year, however the horn system still meant f/a to any of the abusing stalls. Great day, great equipment, however I was in the market for a vintage 70's on the day and was surprised to see no one had anything..

Not sure if I've already commented on here yet (not been on in ages - ha), but I'll be there Saturday checking out all the lovely bottom end machines! :-)

Rio - Duran Duran. My fingers fell off at the end..

Hello Chaps! Been a long time since I've posted but, it's been a hugely busy year. Anyway, to the purpose of this post: In a month or so, I'm jetting off on tour with an artist called Maxim (piano/electro/dnb stuff). This is the first time I've had to deal with some logistics within a tour, usually the management organise all the flight cases (well they have on previous tours) - so I've decided it's probably best to sort it all out myself. [b]First thing:[/b] I've got a 5-string Jazz bass, currently living its life in a Mono case, however there's a huge chance it'll have to go as hold luggage (as we're flying to South Korea & China/Hong Kong), [i]unless someone can advise me on how to get in as carry on guaranteed?[/i] Anyway, what's the best hard case that's affordable and extremely durable? [b]Secondly:[/b] My pedals - this is the first tour I'll be using ANY pedals on. Can I just use a basic adaptor and get my transformer to do all the work, or do I need to buy a specific transformer for each country? Any other tips etc would be massively handy, all my previous tours have generally involved tour buses from the UK and almost zero planes. Thanks in advance!

I'm there Saturday - looking forward to seeing y'all. :-)
