I want one too! I've got the Rockbass Corvette 4, as mentioned above, and I can confirm it's good stuff. Haven't even changed the pups on it. I'm now gassing for a Warwick Corvette 5 and will probably loiter and drool a bit at the Warwick stand at the LBGS Since I'm left-handed I tend to buy new, as it's quicker than wait for a suitable 2nd hand model on here.

We're hoping to make the show/meetup well worth while for BC members to travel! Hope to see you there

Yup

Rotosound is one of BC's advertisers.

IIRC, mine is all padded. I can see and feel a large rubber gasket between the plate and the instrument, and I think the screw inside has some sort of padding too, to avoid squeaks and rattles.

James, I would try contacting one of the BC admins to see if they can ask companies to help on your behalf- asking as Basschat, and mentioning our website/Twitter/Facebook channels will probably get more attention than asking as yourself.

If the BC Relay comes to the LBGS (which should happen, as James is organising his trip) I'll be happy to take photos and also videos, if we find somewhere that allows us to plug in and play the bass. [Keeping in mind that we won't be allowed to do anything more than play literally a few notes.]

I'll do my best to catch a glimpse of most masterclasses and performances, between one BC meetup and another, as well as gassing like mad at Warwick... I'm hoping to end up with one hell of a photo blog at the end of the two days

Garey! All this GAS already, and still nearly three weeks to go Will you be at the show too? Would be lovely to have a small Warwick forum meetup at the Warwick Distribution stand, while we're there.

... and, when in doubt, if it's rock (or trad metal) it's [i]very [/i]likely to be in E minor

Get a fretless Jokes aside, if I don't want to bother using software to get dodgy sounding songs back to normal, playing fretless (5er in my case, cos I just love it!) really is the quickest solution.

I've had a look at the masterclass and live performance schedules on the LBGS's website, decided which ones I want to attend, and then come up with a few suggested meetup times, just for us all to have some sort of schedule to work with: NB - edited post - these are the most recent times I've scheduled - BC CORNER @ the LBGS (in the foyer, next to Bass Gear) Saturday 2nd March 11:30am - 12:30pm 2 - 3pm 4:30 - 5:30pm Sunday 3rd March 10 - 11am 2 - 3pm 4:30 - 5:30pm

Same here. Not sure we'll hear about the course again in ther near or distant future. Pity.

LOL - I waited to see if anything would happen when my post count hit 666, but no, nothing of note, not even Maiden on the radio Anyway, congrats on your thousand - it's good to be an active member

I've tweeted this - will retweet nearer to the date

Clarky had the good idea of writing on Danny Thompson's wall on FB, asking about the course, and I joined in - here is the exchange: [quote] (Clarky) Hi there! Any news of replacement dates for the double bass residential course, Danny and team? (Silvia) I was going to email Bree this coming week! I would be grateful for any info too. [url="https://www.facebook.com/therealdannythompson?ref=stream"]Danny Thompson[/url] Unfortunately no date in the near future. You will be the first to know if anything does crop up! - Bree [/quote] Sigh.

I've only got 3 left, and they look like this (with Ped's contact details on the back):

All the best! Would be awesome to meet up

You're correct, there isn't much around. This might help a little. I haven't used these sites, so I can't recommend them through experience, but they are among my bookmarks, which means I must have made a search at some point in the past, and come up with them [url="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46"]http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB"]http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB[/url] I can't see the plugin images on this PC, so I'm not sure whether the sheets are tab-only (horror!!) or notation and tab. Hopefully the latter.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1360459719' post='1970899'] Please tell me it was rubbish and I didn't miss anything... [/quote] It's all happening on 2nd and 3rd March, so there are still a few weeks to go. Would be lovely to see you there if you could make it?

I'll be there waiting with my trusty camera!

Excellent! It's going to be awesome. Just to clarify, after seeing a comment on Fb - we won't be able to sell any merch at the show. We'll give away a few lanyards and basically be there for members to meet up. Hopefully James "Jimryan" will be able to attend too, and bring the Bass Relay BC Baton so we can take a few photos and pass it on to the next participant. I'll get down to creating a meetup schedule asap, and publish it through the usual channels

Hehehe... will do I'll have a few blank business cards at the show, so that we can write our real names and BC names and then proudly wear them all weekend

Bump - yes we'll have a few BC lanyards for you when you come say hi
