[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='812986' date='Apr 20 2010, 07:28 PM']There was talk of a Nottingham one, not sure what's happening though.[/quote] was my idea.... i have no time to do so - partner with M.E. and a small baby. I realised that I can attend one for a couple of hours but not manage the whole thing, collect money etc

Will be in touch when I've done some more practice - still learning. Have partner with m.e. and a small baby so time scarce. Do you have practice space ? Which side of loughborough are you on ? Leicester or north ?

I have the 210 and I like it - the tube drive effect is also good. Has aux in but no phones socket sadly. Not managed to turn it up loud due to small children in house

BB[/quote] I would expect it within a foot or so, more so if it has single cpil pickups. Reviewing the shielding and earthing as discussed here and you might improve it a bit but basically just stand further

A useful tip is to use a multimeter set to ohms (resistance) holding one probe on the earth contact of the output jack and the other probe on parts of the shielding or earthing to check that there is a good route to earth. The closer to zero the number shown, the less resistance there is. This helped me to idenify several dry joints and also imperfect contacts between copper foil and earthing.

Did you find anything ? I'm not quite a dinosaur yet; I can play 6 string after a fashion although I refuse to own one

Yes I recall your collection IF I do this this I don't want to end up subbing for it when people drop out

So were the grosvenor willing to take booking with no deposit? How many of those showing interest actually attended?

@budgetbassist - did you have to pay in advance , or pay a deposit? I seem to recall a mug of coins @all: when can you all do , and what's the max door price you'd consider reasonable ?

I wasn't asking him to do it again (he did do a good job though)- 'any hints?' meant 'any advice on how to deal with the grosvenor, price the door etc'. I don't have lots of freetime (small baby, job with long hours etc look at my posting times), but all the current bashes appear to be miles away london, scotland etc And I thought it was time we had our own. If I did it it would be pretty spit and sawdust - I can make a few calls but that's about it.

Budget bassist organised the last one - any hints ?

Is it time we had another one ?

Ok

Perhaps - I live at j28

Probably coming - dependent on family stuff of coursr, bringing rather humbler instruments tham most tho

No, small baby to consider. I have stuff, what I need is time.

Top chap to deal with - I bought his 62 reiisue jazz bass. May just make it to the bass bash on 18th

[/quote] Interestong link - see the guy in it shielding the pickup covers ? Is there any part of the pickup that the foil should not touch ?
