Hi guys, This isn't a discussion or argument in any way. All I want you guys to do, is add your favourite British bassists. For each post, just copy the last post and add yours (like a tally kinda thing). The reason for this, the relay. Thinking up people to aim for. Once it's all done, and I've an extensive list, I'll create a bingo like game with some of the relay ashdown goodies as a prize. How's that sound? Cheers all, James

I've yet to check myself, but apparently, we've made it into the Sunday mirror.

Don't worry Milton, already thought of that and I'm working out the best way to do it (where I don't know how long I'll have).

Tomorrow people, the BC baton will be in the hands of Mark King!

That's cool matey, that's what I usually do.

And can we add them to the Facebook page? Milton - if you're at a comp, could you add the paper article here please? I'm on my phone and it's a touch awkward.

For those that haven't seen the Facebook post... Tomorrow, the Portsmouth News will be printing an article on us again and also, on the 8th of September, the bass and I will be heading to Bristol to meet up with Peter Hook!

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1376947905' post='2181502'] There's a mention of the bass relay in the new edition of Guitarist magazine, out today. [/quote] Pics dude

Hope you got a handover photo :-P

Intonation?

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1376841680' post='2179799'] Sorry James, don't know why but I had Southampton in mind. [/quote] It's just as well I don't follow the football really :-p

Southampton?!? Portsmouth Gary, it's a Pompey bass.

Afternoon all, The relay bass is currently situated in London. We need it in Portsmouth by Saturday. Are any BCers travelling between the two that would like to help out? It's all packed in a hardcase so it's relatively safe. We could use a courier, but it'd be nice if a BCer could help out. Cheers, James

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1376672663' post='2177865'] And my wife takes the photos. Sordid. We're just lucky the News of the World is no more. But, on the other hand - they say there's no such thing as bad publicity. [/quote] I can just imagine the story. Strange men meet in service station parking lot to handle purple headed, large shafted item in a G string.

All appears to be sorted guys, I'll post any changes though.

Me too please

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1376428186' post='2173969'] If its with Jim and free on the evening of the 24th I am gigging in Southampton that night [/quote] The 24th it'll be with me, mark king and andrew levy :-P

[quote name='andreapenna' timestamp='1376424829' post='2173886'] Great. Push a bit. Any day is gold to go through the set list :-) [/quote] I've not been sent a set as they reckon they've sorted someone, but I'll let you know.

[quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1376420580' post='2173773'] I would love to but I am already playing, and would take me weeks to learn the songs. I will come and say hello next time i see you [/quote] I'm afraid there won't be a next time. That's the bands last public gig :-(

[quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1376419762' post='2173744'] Assuming you are the band with lady vocs and keys, drums, guitar, bass, lady and gent saxes yes, at the heroes in Waterlooville, at the Fountain in Rowlands Castle [/quote] Yeah, that's us...fancy a go?

[quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1376415696' post='2173665'] I have seen Mr Big stuff on a number of occasions and they are a great band. [/quote] Have you really?
