Calling lefties coming to the bash (Throwoff, Timmo) - I was given a gorgeous Bass Collection 4 as a present by our infinitely generous Happy Jack yesterday - anyone interested in seeing that as opposed to the Fortress or the Godman acoustic? It's a proper beauty and sounds awesome even on my practice amp and with me playing it

LOL!! Jokes aside, I think this is a bit of a Marmite idea. I for one always switch off Live Chats when I'm on a forum that uses them (for instance the Warwick&Framus forum), so I personally wouldn't particularly like to have one on here.

You don't have to bring anything except yourself, James. Anything else is a bonus. It's all very friendly, if GAS-inducing [quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1.

That's true as well, Barrie. Thomann are still the best for someone like me, though - I like to buy brand new, I haven't got thousands to spend on high-end models, and I'm left-handed and would die of old age waiting for a bass, if I had to rely on manufacturers as opposed to big retailers like Thomann. And obviously the small items like pedals and accessories are a bargain when you buy them together with something that takes the total bill to over £100, as delivery is free. Now all I need is for Sterling to stop its slide in the exchange rate...

Sterling's exchange rate with the Euro has plummeted recently, and that makes everything for sale on Thomann look a lot more expensive.

Excellent service most of the time - quick, reliable, gear exactly as described, no tricks, etc. On the rare occasions when something goes wrong, give them a call rather than emailing, as the latter system seems less efficient than it would be in this country.

I just got a message from Kevin of NoTreble - the Relay is in their news! [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2013/08/30/bc-bass-relay-raises-money-for-cancer-research/"]http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2013/08/30/bc-bass-relay-raises-money-for-cancer-research/[/url]

[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1377799366' post='2192086'] Are you coming all the way up North for this then Bluejay?? [/quote] I wish! Unfortunately too out of my way. Rob meant to post that on the [i]South East[/i] Bass Bash thread (and he did, eventually). Never say never, though, I may attend one of the future meetups in the North, who knows

I'll tweet this and see if you get some replies

Heh, I know how you feel! If it helps, I always review photos and discard or crop those where somebody looks less than good... it happens to me all the time, and that's why you rarely see me in photos taken by surprise I haave amended the list on the previous page to add Timmo's gear.

So there will be three of us lefties at the bash (you, Throwoff and me)! A veritable lefty corner - fantastic Expect every millisecond of the bash to be painstakingly documented in photo and video format for posterity and my/BC's music blog!

Yes! And ain't that fantastic Also, that's 60 without counting the two drummers, who aren't listed separately, and I'm also hoping we'll have some last minute participants as well, M25 permitting. Come along o ye doubtful, it's going to be fun!! \m/ \m/

Brilliant, thanks. FYI, I also have an NXT 5-string upright (lefty from birth, so to speak!) and that's fine, for those who like that sort of modern shape, feel and sound. With the "lefty surcharge" it came in at around a grand from Thomann a couple of years ago.

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1377726095' post='2191140'] It's heading back London way for a meet up with Dave Swift and Guy Pratt and following that the SE bass bash I believe [/quote] The meetup with Guy and Dave isn't confirmed at this stage - the SE Bass Bash, however, is!

Plenty of room for everybody! Big auditorium with lots of seating and a large stage in the middle, large entrance hall, large jam room and additional space I've added you!

[quote name='AndyBass' timestamp='1377719604' post='2190911'] Bluejay, sorry to digress but did you convert your Harley Benton to a lefty? I'm after a l/h electric upright as cheaply as it can be done and wondered how easy it is to convert an EUB. Don't get to practice at home much now I have a baby and I could cart an EUB to work and practice at lunch! [/quote] I did, Andy, but the results are far from ideal. The bass was playable for a while, but it's cheap and nasty whether lefty or righty. Quite apart from needing some new decent strings right from the start (which I didn't bother buying or installing for that experiment), the current problems with mine are a. that the grooves in the bridge I turned upside-down had to be filed a little to accommodate the strings at the right angle, which caused the strings to sink too deep in the grooves after a little time - I should now carefully file the bridge itself so that the strings stand prouder in the grooves; and b. a section of the wrought-iron tailpiece has come unstuck and needs to be welded back in place. All the above without the bass ever having been gigged, just played at home with maximum care. So I think you should invest in a better model, possibly left-handed from the start, or expect to have to spend a reasonable amount to get the cheapo HB up to scratch.

It was lovely to meet you too, Rob, and many thanks for the stand, now proudly holding three of my basses to start with (but not the upright, LOL, that one's got its own functional but horrid-looking tripod). Please come along to the bash, it's going to be absolutely awesome! Updated list [quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1.

The last time I looked at Thomann they had three models of their own brand DBs - fully made of plywood, partially made of plywood and fully carved, in increasing order of price. Good to hear from you guys that they are OK - should I ever decide to throw out half of my flat's furniture and get one Welcome, George! Good to hear from a fellow lefty DB/upright player

Calling Sibob, Calling Sibob...

Maybe they thought it was staged? That occurred to me too...

Chris, I was at last years' bash - held in the same school - and the place is [b]huge[/b]! There will be no space problems, I'm sure.
