[quote name='JMT3781' timestamp='1319269725' post='1411971'] Hi all I'll be there I'll bring My Shukers and Tecamp combo. Just one thing... the on road parking might fill up pretty fast, as thats the only parking for the busy rehearsal rooms next to the venue, so if you aren't familiar to the area, have a quick glance at a map and familiarise yourself to the sideroads around the venue to find some more parking... What a remarkably sensible post from me! [/quote] There'a also a car park opposite... not sre if it's paying on a sunday though

I had a Gherson jazz a few years ago. Really slim neck which i couldn't get on with, but the pickups were amazing. Weighed quite a bit as well!!

The pink holey Royal Electra was made for Pepsi Tate of Tigertailz. I think they had an endorsement, as the guitarist used the guitar version. Very nice quality instruments, very reminiscent of Jackson/Kramer.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1318940666' post='1407958'] I should be coming along, although due to last-minute issues I haven't made the last Nottingham one or the Startford one so I'm reluctant to promise anything. I'll probably bring an Antoniotsai or two and maybe a Warwick and a Peavey. [/quote] Been reading over on TB about the Antoniotsai basses..... opinions are very divided over there Hopefully see you there.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1318938751' post='1407905'] I think someonw was trying to rustle up a drummer? Is that still happening? It would be great to have a little jam if poss... [/quote] Ian Savage is bringing a kit down.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1318939252' post='1407924'] Nige is cack handed . [/quote] Very true, but cheeky get!!!"

[quote name='Caerphilee' timestamp='1318934423' post='1407815'] Hi all, I've just joined the forum and looking forward to the event! Caerphilee [/quote] Welcome, see you there. You may want to send Machines a PM, so he can add you to the list. Let him know if you're bringing any equipment so he can list that as well. Also check the list to see what other people are bringing. Nige

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1318772434' post='1405991'] Don't know if anyone is following this thread anymore (least of all G30 users), but I have one coming and I'd like to use a different bass>transmitter cable (I favour right-angled jacks out of the bass). What's a comfortable cable length and I'll get an order in with our very own OBBM. Cheers Paul [/quote] Like you, i prefer right angled jacks. Depending on how high on the strap you'll wear the transmitter, i'd recommend 1m or so. The output socket on the transmitter is on the bottom of the G30 unit when worn on a strap.

Check with Phil, the inhouse amp tech at PMT in Brum. He's just repaired my Orange head. Good guy to deal with.

How about a small silver engraved plate with your initials inlaid at the twelth fret.

Hallelujah

Thinking about a charity raffle if there's enough attendees. Got a couple of unused pedals i can chuck in Thoughts please.....

Hi, just a quickie. The West Mids Bass Bash has been confirmed for 27th November. Hopefully won't clash!!! Anyone interested from over there is welcome. Cheers, Nige

[quote name='CPBassman' timestamp='1318578581' post='1403853'] Its the 'bougie' that got me he he [/quote] Blame it on the bougie.............

No real idea of the cause. A suggestion, though. If you still have an old set of strings, try them on the bass again. If the results are the same, it's the bass. If not, it's probably a duff set of strings.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the West Midlands (and near-ish areas ) bass playing fraternity. The date for the WMBB is set for 27th November, 1-6pm, at the Asylum2(upstairs bar) at Madhouse Studios, Birmingam. Deposit has been paid, so no turning back now!!!! Please list yays and nays. More accurate details of venue location etc to follow................ Nige

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1318412326' post='1401691'] To get things moving - I am going to propose a date of Sunday 27th November. Does this suit most people ? If so then we can get it booked. Is that something you can deal with yorick/Ian Savage ? Depending on numbers £5-10 each and any profit goes to a nominated charity. When we've got a date booked we can make a who's coming and bringing what list . [/quote] Will speak to the powers that be ASAP

Fender Japan 62 reissue Precision, Seymour Quarterpounders and a Badass

The Welsh are ok!!! (I have to say that, the other arf is one), but the song in the video is crap in any language..........

Our singer.... "but we do it for the enjoyment........................................!!" This after a two hundred mile drive, playing for 45 minutes, waiting four hours for him to finish brown nosing the other bands and the organiser, a two hundred mile drive home, arriving home at five thirty in the morning, and earning the princely sum of £15!!! I have the noose ready

Two plectrums, or a bag of crisps from a motorway services. Robbing g!ts..........

Nothing to do with me, but saw this as I was browsing. Looks tasty!!!

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1317748485' post='1394125'] Nice one Yorick, beat me to it! So if we can get a couple of dozen of us only a couple of quid or so each, I could live with that - would we get use of the PA with that too? I'd assume not, but I could lash something together myself if needs be (oh, and I haz teh limited drumming skillz also ) [/quote] Not sure about the PA, might be able to swing something on the cheap. Next time i see Rich, i'll get a proper all in price as well, inc. bar!!!!

Spoke to Rich at Madhouse, who books the stuff at the upstairs bar (Asylum2), looking at around £50 for a sunday afternoon 1-6.00pm ish.

I serve to please.... maybe a custom finish for a "name" player?
