Ho hum, always late to the party!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1475247733' post='3144435'] Yes, if I can get there I'll bring the Flex Pre and the Clarus SL-R Won't know for definite until tomorrow but I'm hopeful. What time does it start? [/quote] I think we are aiming to roll in at about 10am, but it is all very flexible

Is he friendly enough to let you bring it on Sunday?

Their clear orange over a nice piece of plain wood with the "wood binding" is a joy to behold.

[quote name='BassDeLune' timestamp='1474291379' post='3136855'] Thanks both. I'll let you know if/when I find out if I'm going [/quote] So, do I need to pack the NS5?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1475055721' post='3142600'] Surely, and in the true spirit of Brexit, we now need someone who can discuss [i][b]British [/b][/i]bowing ... [/quote] I am resisting the temptation to discuss Brexit on a public forum!

[quote name='neilp' timestamp='1475052654' post='3142562'] Well, it wasn't the Berlin Phil, but I've finally been offered a dep with a chamber ensemble I've been working on for years (literally!) so I'm afraid I won't be coming. Sorry! Shame as I was looking forward to meeting everyone. Next time for sure...... [/quote] So you are passing up a chance to geek-out to the max so that you can go and function in the real world? Very wise Just for the record we now need someone to step in to discuss French bowing. Anyone? Obviously this will not be a lesson as such, just a basic introduction for people who fancy using a bow but have never had access to anyone who actually knows how they work. I can do very basic French bowing stuff if it comes to it, but someone who actually uses one in anger would be more use.

Excellent news Phil. See you there.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I use Innovation Honeys on mine but a student had a set of solo tuning Obligatos on hers and with the bass eq knob whacked up they were lush beyond. I am struggling to not buy a set.

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1474626514' post='3139325'] I'm quite lax in fingerboard cleaning, bit of baby oil every now and again. [/quote] WAIT! People clean and oil their fingerboards?

Does anyone have an unrequited object of DB GAS? If we noted it here we might find that someone has one and could bring it. I will go first. I have always wanted to try a Rob Allen Mouse or Deep 5

That sounds very nice indeed. I used an AI for ages on DB and it hit the spot every time. Ooh ooh ooh ooh you have a mouse! If you come to the DB Bash could you bring it with you? It one of the few things left on my "I need to try that" list.

Nope, but I like how it looks!

Thanks, I will go and look at GFS now. And Ebay for 2nd hand humbuckers. Cos I play so much guitar that I need good tone. As if! But I cannot stop myself.

I have a 73 with an A neck. It was only when I got it that I realised why I just could not get with my othwr P. Jazz nuts 4lyfe

I fancy one now. Thanks everyone

Yes. There is no rhyme or reason to the whole thing, but the market loves the original paint.

I have one of those and for years played it without the scratchplate (Jaco and all that) and I nearly binned the Chrome because "I just never use it". I am glad that I was too lazy to empty the drawer they were sitting in.

The NV115 is not hilariously light like the helium filled cabsdujour but it is certainly not a heavy lifft.

The Demeter VTBP M 800 D does not have a fan. But it is double height and has a beefy heatsink. But it is still small in the grand scheme of things and no fan makes me very happy. Acoustic Image amps also do not have fans and the beefier ones happily go down to 2 Ohms.

If so, feel free to roll in to the DB Bash in Derby on Oct the 2nd. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283463-double-bass-bash-derby-oct-2nd/
