[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496681105' post='3313187'] I'm not going to go starting a new thread, just curious...any date set for the 2017 bash? [/quote] This! I'd be happy to help set one up.

Nice one on the recommendation!

Brighton is fantastic, as you can imagine. The jam nights at Casablanca's on a Thursday night are awesome. Plenty of great Jazz jams too. Feel free to drop me a message if you'd like to know more, Richard.

As I'm going through a complete gear overhaul, I'm thinking of switching amp heads. I've currently got a Genz Benz Shuttle 12.0 and something else has caught my eye - The Bergantino[color=#545454][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1] [/size][/font][/color][color=#6A6A6A][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1][b]B[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#545454][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]|[/size][/font][/color][color=#6A6A6A][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1][b]Amp.[/b][/size][/font][/color] Who here has experience with them? Worth the money?

I've been dragged into a night shift without no way out. I'm going to have to pull out of this one, guys.

This'll be an easy one for me and one I can't miss due to circumstances like before. I'm down for this!

Is this still going at all? If so, I'd love to sign up.

[quote name='Jabba_the_gut' timestamp='1487848962' post='3243466'] Sounds good. I'll aim to come with some home built basses from the 'Build Diaries'. Cheers [/quote] Please do, they're absolutely brilliant!

One of these helped massively considering I play a huge 5'er. If you've got anything ringing or open, it can help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Floating Thumb Technique: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDSAd29kJ0o"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDSAd29kJ0o[/url] For your right handed technique, I'd definitely recommend doing a bit of research on this.

Cheeky question but does anyone have any Yamaha MIJ stuff they're thinking of bringing along? I'm eyeing up a TRB5PII and probably will be open to buying any Yamaha MIJ stuff on the day.

As a heads up, anyone with any Yamaha MIJ stuff should expect some sort of offer from me as I'm on the hunt for that sort of thing.

Wooooooo! 1. [b]ChunkyMunky - [/b]Musicman Bongo 5HH (If it hasn't sold), Genz Benz ShuttleMax 12.0, pedals and some other bits.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1487150744' post='3237455'] Lovely thread title! [/quote] I know, great title, right?

I went on a spree of trying all sorts of different cabinets and the one I ended up choosing was something I did not expect in the slightest. I tried out a load of Barefaced, Schroeder, EA, EBS etc.. I ended up going for a TC Electronics of some description that I used regularly from a rehearsal studio I go to all the time. A TC Electronics BC2x12, if I recall correctly. Has anyone else had any surprising buys that turned out absolute trumps for them?

I had a gorgeous Musicman Bongo 5HS (LTD-2007) that I had to sell to eat and pay the bills after I was signed off sick after a head injury at work. That went with a lot of my other gear. As much of a shame as that is, there's always better and I tend to find that the previous basses that we have had and lost before are merely representations of what we like as well as the sentimental ties to go with it. Happy story in the end, I bought another Bongo 5HH in the end. It doesn't have quite the same mojo as the former Bongo but it makes up for it in other ways. 'Tis better to have and lost than not at all.
