Glad they arrived uber-fast Mike and cheers for prompt payment!

Our last gig of the year is at the intimate (holds 65 only) Green Note in Camden, a venue thats very 'in' with the folk crowd and has seen loads of top performers (Amy Winehouse, Leonard Cohen, Martin Carthy and - of more recent vintage - the up-and-coming Tiff Merritt). We are headlining, probably on about 9.45pm. Will be a squeeze to fit us on a stage about the size of your average rug but we will manage it. The Green Note does great food and beer too. Should be fun! [url="http://www.greennote.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4"]http://www.greennote...&task=view&id=4[/url]

If we only needed and [u]wanted[/u] one bass, BassChat would have a membership about the tenth the size

Oh b*gger, Keith. I read the integrity of the endings was important to the strings so I think its bad news. Let me buy them back off you as I feel its my fault for not having measured them for your bass

Thanks Keith. I love your beer emoticon!

OK gents, here are the costs. Nerdy spreadsheet alert. Edit: OK it doesn't paste properly but there is a proper nerdy spreadsheet to calculate everything! So for most people (2 clamps plus 90p post) its £9.80, for Steve its £16.45 (post was more as I had to use a small box to ensure no damage to the locking socket), for Owen (only one clamp) its £5.35 and for fatback (higher post cost to Ireland) its £11.10. Happy with paypal as gift. Will PM you all the address. I managed to get to Post Office at lunch time today and posted to all except Duncan/BassBod (your PM arrived just after I'd left for post office but yours will be posted tomorrow) and jwbassman (waiting on address).

Back from game Long day, started at 4am. I now have addresses for thisnameistaken, owen, TheG and Mr_Bassman. So I need PMs with postal addresses from [s]BeerOfBass[/s], BassBod, jwbassman, [s]TPJ[/s], [s]fatback[/s] [s]and Steve[/s]. I will get back to each of you by PM once I've worked out cost and can confirm posting your clamps etc. I got a typically rubbish airport Euro/£ rate of 1.121 so it will be about £4.40-odd per clamp plus postage and the neutrik locking socket with clamp for Steve will be just over a tenner plus postage. Edit: now have TPJ, BeeroftheBass, Steve and fatback's addresses

Just landed in London. I have a bagful of clamps etc. Heading off to the match tonight so will probably post Frida or Saturdayy. If you could all drop me a PM with your postal addresses I will confirm what I have and the cost. Cheers Clarky

No worries, TheG. Will update this thread Thursday to confirm I have the critters in hand. If anyone goes into hiding, I can always start up a new business venture, Clarky's Clamps

[quote name='TheG' timestamp='1353365352' post='1874370'] Sorry just found this post any chance of 2 jack clamps. If not or I am too late no worries. Great that you have thought of this for everyone. Thanks regardless. [/quote] OK added to the shopping list!

Said quietly, I find the TalkBass double bass forum quite helpful

Grand total (incl 2 each for TPJ and Fatback) - 17 jack clamps, 1 XLR clamp, 1 locking socket/clamp Think I'd better call it quits at that or I will run out of carrying capacity!

Sure thing!

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1353338911' post='1873802'] Will you be taking a Transit, Clarky? [/quote] Fortunately the clamps are very small! Any use to you Roger?

Double bass anyone? I have to have a car (or taxi). Its one trip with DB and another to get amp (combo or head +cab; preamp and leads stuffed into padded bag side pockets) plus DB stand. Trying to carry it all in one go is a recipe for disaster ... ie, smacking or snagging the DB on doorways or stairwells

Have you gone into your profile page and deleted old attachments (on the 'Manage your attachments' tab), making space for new ones?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1353280580' post='1873292'] Excellent. Let us know if you want paying beforehand, though I guess if your schedule is uncertain you may not. You're definitely owed a pint by a substantial chunk of basschat! [/quote] Nope, let me ensure I buy the clamps etc first and then I will PM everyone individually for addresses and let everyone know the cost (will be Euro 5 per clamp, at whatever exchange rate I get on Wednesday, plus 60p postage I guess)

Hey Chris, I was kind of hoping you'd be on earlier than that as I get up for work at 5.30am and Nambucca is an hour from where I live so I wouldn't get home until midnight or so. Best put me at 50:50. Any other BC'ers potentially going?

Nige and band (I'm sure Kit wouldn't want it put it like that, but I'm a bassist!) were excellent tonight - they were very good when I saw them before at the Half Moon a few months back but there was (even) more energy tonight. Very good and original band. Was also great to see Mrs silddx (Diane) out and about, despite her trials and tribulations

He does do mail order but the cost is prohibitive when buying a cheap item like this, which is why I offered. Gwaaan, do you want me to put you down for one or two?

Still hoping to make it Jigster - what time are you guys onstage?

OK, so thats Clarky - 2 jack clamps TNIT - 2 jack Mr_B - 2 jack Beer of B - 1 jack, 1 XLR clamp BassBod - 2 jack jwb - 2 jacks (I will double-check these fit locking socket) Owen - 1 jack Steve - 1 jack, 1 locking socket/clamp Grand total - 13 jack clamps, 1 XLR clamp, 1 locking socket/clamp Please let me know if this is wrong or any additions. FYI, I emailed Lando and they have plenty in stock so the only risk is my schedule doesn't allow me to time to pop in (right now its looking good)
