Forgot to mention another big thanks to Dash (Kathryn) for giving me her lefty acoustic bass which I still have and play!

Looks good from here...

I'll add my big thanks to CamdenRob for giving me his 5-bass stand (currently in use in our living room, holding three lefties and one righty!), and to Bartelby for sending me those tiny, precious bits of Warwick hardware to finish repairing my Corvette's bridge ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/255630-fixing-a-dodgy-bridge-on-a-2010-korean-warwick-corvette-pro/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/255630-fixing-a-dodgy-bridge-on-a-2010-korean-warwick-corvette-pro/[/url]). Both totally FOC. As Bilbo says, I'm doing my best to pay it forward where possible.

Just a quick heads-up to the community: I have been asked by BGM editor and fellow BCer Joel McIver to write a monthly column about the most interesting goings-on in Basschat-land. The first, an introduction, will be published in the May issue, out on May 5th. The idea is to highlight useful, informative topics and follow their developments on Basschat throughout the month, offering BGM's readership our take on bass-related themes, a bit of humour, and quotations from actual posts.

Admiral Nelson in Whitton last Saturday. Dancers in crutches, people watching from outside the pub, and a lot of mad antics, not all of which are shown here. Great fun Curious punter watching the band from the street It's a miracle! She walks!

All current Warwick necks are thin, like [i]really[/i] thin, and very kind to the fretting hand, in my opinion. I now have a variety of Warwick 5-stringers and they all have 17mm string spacing, standard 45mm nut, and D-shaped necks. They're not lightweight, though.

I will almost certainly be out of the country on that date. Edit - in fact, I think mid-July to end of August would equal shooting the bash in the foot, as many people will be on holiday. A date in June would be far preferable.

Could probably do, let me check a few things and I'll PM you.

Never had any problem with missing details when buying from Thomann...

Sean, if you post this on FB I can share - I have several West London musos in my friends list. Incidentally, next weekend is Easter, and I won't be at home, otherwise I would have been happy to help al least with camera work.

Second gig for the band in this large, friendly pub near Twickenham. Come along if you're in the area

By the way, the guys have put up a survey page to get your bouquets or brickbats, and hear your advice for next year: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/uncategorized/london-bass-guitar-show-2015-survey/"]http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/uncategorized/london-bass-guitar-show-2015-survey/[/url]

No avatars in my search results - it probably only works if you're constantly logged into Google Plus (which I'm not), so that the results take advantage of the temporary cache on your computer. You are probably seeing avatars of people you have interacted with here on BC in the last few days/weeks/months.

I'm sorely disappointed that I only appear in the results with one of my worst ever photos of myself. On the other hand, there's one nice photo of Laurence Cottle at the Herts bash which comes from one of my blogs, and three pics of our gorgeous Ped modelling BC polos

Tweeted to Basschat followers. Good luck in recovering it, can't be of much use to the majority of bass players.

Thanks for that - I'm tweeting your blog to Basschat's followers as we speak

You can also offer them in the Recycling forum on here, asking for postage only.

Anyone know if this is still going on? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210389-we-need-strings-charity/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210389-we-need-strings-charity/[/url]

Has anyone recommended Bell Percussion Studios in Acton yet? Excellent, very new facilities. http://www.bellperc.com/studios (I'm not connected in any way except as a neighbour; I was invited purely by chance to their opening party a couple of months ago and saw the rooms and the equipment with my own eyes and camera.)

Thanks again! Next time, guys, just stop me in my tracks and SAY HI!

Thank you all once again - it's you guys that make all this a joy to do

Thank you guys! Next time I want to meet up with you all properly, as opposed to taking photos of your back etc.!

Thank you Dave. Was great to see you there
