When I click on some emails from BC alerting me of new posts in the Relay thread, I get redirected to the Subscribe page: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/cp/8-subscribe/"]http://basschat.co.uk/cp/8-subscribe/[/url]. The same happens to those of us trying to replyh to a couple of posts on the topic in the Site Isssues forum. Weird.

Congrats Hernando - you need to have your priorities right, don't you. But hopefully we'll be at the LBGS again next year, and we'll want to meet you and your partner

...or a pair of killer heels?

Loving this! Thanks James. I've tweeted the lot, with links to this thread and the BCBassRelay FB page. I'll be waiting for you at the LBGS! \m/ \m/

[quote name='Platypus' timestamp='1361142024' post='1981908'] Not sure if this has been already posted, I quickly scanned the thread and couldn't see a reference..... There will be a lot of planned disruption on the tube on both the Saturday and the Sunday. Worth checking here when planning your journey: [url="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=13"]http://www.tfl.gov.u....aspx?offset=13[/url] [/quote] Good call. Another version of the works calendar is here: [url="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/livetravelnews/planned-works/calendar/default.aspx"]http://www.tfl.gov.uk/livetravelnews/planned-works/calendar/default.aspx[/url] Luckily, there are several buses that stop right in front of the Olympia Conference Centre.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1361043302' post='1980356'] Lee doesn't play upright...what on earth are they doing?! [/quote] Dunno, but Warwick have been sharing this... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjNB9aJoPHo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjNB9aJoPHo[/url]

I'm afraid I can't help on this - the Triumph Lite was launched at NAMM in January, so it's quite new, and it may not be in many stores yet... you could try asking Garey (Warwick_Official), to see if he has any info on who might be selling or at least showcasing it in the UK.

There is - only 4 strings and only right-handed for the moment.

Yup, I simply tend to think of Catalan as less international than Castellano for welcomes and similar, but luckily all we need here is English, so that everybody's on the same page

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361035479' post='1980175'] Won't be a good start to the relay if there isn't [/quote] LOL, touché... I meant in Portsmouth [i]and[/i] on here, I guess

Tonight's the night! Anybody in Portsmouth going to James' gig?

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1360958288' post='1979164'] ¡Benvingut! [/quote] Er, that's Catalan... Welcome Diego! Plenty of Fender J freaks here, and you'll feel right in

The forum is definitely growing fast in membership size, and sometimes attracting the wrong kind of attention. In turn, some of the established members lose their patience. The resulting aggro is not what we need. Thanks for your hard work, all of you admins and mods. PS sorry Colin i meant to mention you not Steve in the title. Big thanks to you both, though.

LOL I'm not remotely as interesting as that, I'm afraid...

And this is the A4 poster that will be placed on the bass when we take photos of it at the LBGS:

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1360952826' post='1979001'] Flying V meets double bass ! ....I smell spandex !! [/quote] Great pic Nah, no spandex in the thrash metal look, it's blue or black denim and minimal accessories, in fact, as the photo shows

LOL - that newsletter from Warwick got my attention too As electric uprights, Triumphs are cool IMO, such an unusual shape. I've never been able to play one though - I'm actually waiting for Warwick to produce an affodable lefty Rockbass Triumph sooner or later! - so I'm not sure whether such shape is as ergonomic to play as the traditional long-and-thin EUB shape.

You bet I now really want to see it, touch it, and not play it, as always [bloody righty models!]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1360956938' post='1979121'] I spent many a happy hour with Andy when I visited Warwick last year. He's one of the most down to earth and likeable guys I've met. He does have a real 'Merikan drawl which I found really infectious. His bass playing spans over many records, from slapping stuff to his preferred style of chilled out grooves. I guess this showboating is ultimately what sells instruments; I mean I remember being blown away when I first came across playing like this when I was younger. Thankfully the passage of time has enlightened me to the finer points of bass playing but aroun this time I'm not influenced by adverts and videos of products either. Come on guys, relax. Slagging off another guy you have never met is really unbecoming. ped [/quote] I agree Chris, but I think most of us were complaining about the playing, not the bassist. I still think that, if that's what sells basses, then there must be something wrong with the market...

Thanks Mick - I think I'm being helped to find one by the guys at Bassgear. If all else fails, I'll get one for the Sunday when I get to the show on the Saturday. I'll see you all there on both days, for sure

It's a posted update from Danny Thompson's page on Facebook, so I guess you'll get it in your news feed too, as will anyone else who follows him. Such a shame it hasn't worked out.

More bad news from Bree, as we feared. [quote] [b] Dear Lovers of Bass Thank you all for your support of Danny's Bass School Love In that was scheduled for this spring. We just wanted to let you know that unfortunately we won't be able to accommodate it at any point this year. Danny is extremely disappointed about this but is still very keen to make it happen one day. Shall that day come, you will all be the first to know about it! - Bree @ [url="https://www.facebook.com/paulcrockfordmanagement?group_id=0"]Paul Crockford Management[/url][/b] [/quote]

He's going to be at the LBGS, but luckily during one of my BC members meetups

I'll see you all there! \m/ \m/

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1360852860' post='1977419'] OMG you should have PM'd me!!! [/quote] I didn't make it in time! Mark was just too fast in spotting it and replying to the post...
