Stingray5

All nicely psychedelic but in the end I had to give it to Dad's interpretation of the picture. Peace out, man!

I'll second that, Sylvia - great job with loadsa good pics there.

Thanks to Mick, Chris et al for a super day. Great to catch up with various Bass Chatters and meet some new ones too. Cheers til the next time, Steve

This week I have mostly been battling a most annoying ear infection and was hoping it would have gone by now. (eh?! what?!). Ok, bottom line is I may still make it tomorrow but will have to play it by...erm... you know what!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1403545137' post='2483779'] We may be able to ask Paul the Junkyard Dogs drummer to come along to the bash.

Bluejay with obligatory camera, and perhaps my new Warwick Corvette PS 5 [/quote] That'd be great if Paul is able to come along too. I could 'throw in' a Strat or something, if needed.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1403538370' post='2483696'] Yay! It will be so great to see you. Can't wait to show you - I can play at least 6 notes now! I sometimes even use the G string! [/quote] Excellent, I'll look forward to it.

What, no donuts?! Ah, never mind - bassnuts are better! I reckon I can make this now so have added my details below. I've not made it to a bash for a while so It'll be nice to catch up with folks. I'll bring my beloved MM Stingray5 plus 2 or 3 others, e.g., Tune TWB-6, MM Stingray fretless, Fender USA Jazz. Either a Trace Elliot GP12SMX 1x15 combo or Trace Elliot BLX-80 1x10 combo.

Great job, Silvia. Almost feels like I went after all...

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1393723114' post='2383816'] It was an awesome day! And then I had an awesome night covering the Junkyard Dogs' gig (another billion photos to sort and post). Now well and truly knackered, and ready to go to bed. Roll on tomorrow! \m/ \m/ [/quote] I'm gutted to miss all of the above, Silvia, but look forward to drooling over your pics, once you're suitably recovered enough to get them online...

Listened to all the tracks, some even re-visited a couple more times, but have to say I went for............................

Great stuff, folks. My first time visiting this thread and taking part (well, at least voting). If I can tear myself away from the Photo Competition for long enough, I hope to submit something here at some point, too.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1390403666' post='2345027'] I am so going to make sure I see you at some point, Steve. And there are also proggy masterclasses to entice you [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/masterclass/colin-edwin-of-porcupine-tree-and-lorenzo-feliciati/"]http://www.londonbas...enzo-feliciati/[/url] [/quote] Yep, will defo see you there. Just not sure what day at the moment. Lee Sklar is on my must-see list, too, so I'll chance whether I catch his live show on Saturday, or his masterclass on Sunday. p.s. - looking at the cover of BGM on the LBGS website, is it just me, or do Dave Swift and Jack look more alike as time goes by?!?

Woohoo! Having missed the last couple, I'm on course for making it along to at least one of the show days.

Thanks for the heads up on this Sylvie. It's in the diary now so if I'm not in the wilds of Outer Mongolia (or, dare I say it, Bognor Regis!), I will make at least one of LBGS days.

Good job, Sylvia! I just read through your SEBB blog and your pics made me even more sorry I wasn't able to make it. Next year... fer sure!! Also - to whoever owns them, I'm curious about the set of bass pedals. They look like a custom job of sorts. More info please...?

Really sorry I wasn't able to make it this year. Looks like it was as good a bash as we've come to expect. (Nice pics, Silvia! ) Roll on next year!

[quote name='GAPendragon' timestamp='1372528904' post='2126912'] Rats. Only just saw this. I'd have come to see you. [/quote] Ah, too bad. Maybe another time...?

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1372499590' post='2126419'] It was a pleasure to meet you, Steve, and we had a fantastic evening. I'm working on the photos and will be in touch soon. Feel free to Facebook me - I'll probably publish an album there too, eventually. \m/ \m/ [/quote] Excellent! Thanks again. I'm happy to Facebook you if you could send me a link or name to search for... - or - I'm at [url="https://www.facebook.com/stevegeebass"]https://www.facebook.com/stevegeebass[/url]

Good to see you last night Silvia, not to mention Jack and the rest of the junkyard crew. The photos here look great - looking forward to seeing the rest of them. Steve

Brilliant! Thanks Silvia, that would be most welcome. I'm sure Ms Murphy will very much appreciate it, too.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1372290132' post='2124022'] We were entirely spoilt by having a bespoke build stage and top notch sound crew so it wasn't too tough for us. It's a bloody tall ceiling though! If you get a chance see if you can get up to the balcony area that overlooks the hall when someone else is playing. The view of the hall with people in and music on is amazing. In fact, if it's open maybe get someone to take some pics of you playing from up there. They'll look great in the portfolio [/quote] I understand the set-up for the acts is at the top of the main stairway. I used to visit the NHM regularly at one time (along with the Science Museum, of course) so must admit the opportunity to play where once were dinosaurs was most tempting. Definitely a big room! [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1372290242' post='2124024'] I sense a photo opportunity being thrown my way... [/quote] Haha, rumbled!!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1372286996' post='2123985'] Excellent. You have Paul on drums too, am I right? Jack and I will make sure to pop down and catch you guys [/quote] Yep, Paul is with us, too, though he'll mainly be playing Cajon (unless he can jump on someone else's kit ). Great if Jack can make it too. I should have contacted him though I only just received final confirmation and details myself. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1372287237' post='2123988'] I've played in that hall - acoustics are great fun We played for a Price Waterhouse summer ball and it really was an amazing setting! Hope you have a brilliant time. [/quote] Thanks Barry. I was wondering about the acoustics. I'm sure it'll be interesting, to say the least.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1372286172' post='2123976'] Thinking of coming! Which time slot are you scheduled in? [/quote] Nice one, Sylvia. Be good to meet you if you can make it along. Yeah, forgot to mention that we're sheduled for around 9pm - actually 9.20pm, I think.

Ok, I'm not quite 65 million years old, not yet, but if any London-based BC'ers are around on Friday evening (28th June) and fancy a trip over to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, I'm playing a short (and I do mean short!) set with singer/songwriter Jeanette Murphy in the museum's Central Hall. It's for their monthly live music series "Lates with Mastercard". There are ten acts playing, each one does a 15 minute slot. Best of all, it's free admission. Be nice to meet and chat with any BC'ers - or come to that, anyone else that'll talk to me...!!!

Well-pee'd off that I couldn't make this after all. Hopefully, next time.
