Stingray5

Great collection of photos, Silvie - almost makes me feel like I was there... Now looking forward to 2015.

Still gutted I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was a good one again thanks to Colin, Nik and co. I certainly hope to make the Herts bash and LBGS - and of course next years SEBB. Looking forward to Bluejay's pics - once she has ploughed through them all.

Rats!! I've been offered a dep job for Saturday but it's in Norwich. I've been pondering the idea of coming along to the bash in the morning then going on to Norwich from there, although I also need to meet up with one of the other band members along the way, in Herts, so might not get much time. I was really looking forward to the bash, too, but I'm thinking I might need to give it a miss after all. I've removed my name from the list but if the gig happens to not go ahead for some reason, I'll defo be there. Hopefully next year... (not to mention the LBGS, London bass bash, Herts bass bash, etc). Have fun! Steve Updated List: 1. Hamster - 2.

Already cast my vote but will just say it was a pretty tough choice again this month. Lowdown just pipped it for me. Good stuff!

Difficult one again this month. I liked all the interpretations. Best of luck to all.

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!

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
