[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1414230834' post='2587259'] Love the idea of solid state v valve amps - a cracking idea that. Hope someone with both bits of kit can do a bit on this. [/quote] Mike??

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1414225738' post='2587196'] I'll be tweeting and facebooking your cry for help, Nik, starting from today. Hope someone comes to the rescue with talks or tests. I'll bring a small practice amp as a raffle prize. [/quote]

OK; a very late and quick update re: next Saturday's Bass... Arrangements for the various spaces are as follows: [b]Foyer area:[/b] Sign-in desk, refreshments (courtesy of Hamster & Mrs Hamster ) and a 'Buy/Sell' area. The Raffle will also take place here. [b]Theatre:[/b] Space for Talks & demos (more about that in a minute) and for low volume level gear/rigs [b]Main Hall:[/b] This is the place to set up your gear/rig if you want to make a lot of noise!! (last year it got pretty loud in here, so be warned...) [b]Jam Room:[/b] As per normal - the place to have a Jam with [b]Paul[/b] on drums (hopefully) and other creative Basschatters.. [b]Raffle: [/b]Has anyone got something they'd like to donate to the Raffle? If so, please let us know - thanks. [u][b]Talks/Demos:[/b][/u] Sincere apologies to one and all but for various reasons, we've not organised much in the way of talks/workshops this year, which is a bit of a shame after last year's Bash. However, we do have one talk happening that is being given by Happy Jack (time to be confirmed). [b]Happy Jack's Talk:[/b] Jack has finally got the better of his chronic bad back through Pilates, and wants to share his experience with anyone who’s having similar trouble due to regular bass playing. Jack did this talk at the West Sussex mini-Bash in August and it was really good, so it's well worth checking out! [u][b]A last-minute Call To Action![/b][/u] Is there anyone coming along on the day who'd like to do a [b]talk/workshop/demo[/b] for us on the day? It could be about pretty much anything bass-related really.. To give you an idea, at recent Bashes we've had:[list] [*]Theory workshops [*]Double-bass workshops [*]Gear demos [*]Set-up workshops [*]Talks about pre-amps & e.q, acoustics & cab design [*]Talks from pro musicians [/list] Etc, etc.. At the last Herts Bash there was a really good P-Bass Test for example, so if anyone fancies doing something along similar lines, that'd be cool... Or a 'solid-state Vs valve amps' shoot-out would be good... Basically, anything that shares some good ideas, shows us something new and gets us thinking would be great! So, if anyone would like to step forward at this late stage with an idea, a suggestion, please let us know! Thanks and see you all next Saturday. Nik

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1413968475' post='2584079'] Can't make it now sorry - I'm away seeing my family so at least I have a legit excuse! Shame as I wanted to demo my laptop FX setup - it'll have to wait until next year - I posted a video of some of the sounds here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247708-synth-bass-ableton-live-fx-rig-tunage/page__pid__2584054#entry2584054"]http://basschat.co.u...54#entry2584054[/url] Cheers chaps - hope it's as good as it usually is Mike [/quote] Sorry to hear that Mike! Hope all's well and look forward to seeing you next time Nik

[quote name='6feet7' timestamp='1413127736' post='2575115'] Always thought about coming but as everyone seems to know what they are doing basswise and I have difficulty playing root notes I've always bottled it If I did come I'd bring my GUS G3 retro and Parker Fly PB51 and a couple of Ibanez RB850's from the 1980's (if they haven't sold by then) if anyone was interested? [/quote] Cool! ...Bring them all down - the basses and you would be very welcome and you'll have a great time

Sorry to hear that Al, Although, if you put your head out of the window on that day, you'll probably still be able hear the noise coming from the main hall, if last year's anything to go by! Nik

Dribbling??? That's a very 'descriptive' word....

Great to see the list growing in numbers; some lovely gear on it too Yep; there'll be a space for selling stuff, as per usual.

Just sold my Schroeder 21012 to Si, who was brilliant to deal with throughout! He's a credit to Basschat, so you deal with him in complete confidence. Thanks for buying the cab - hope you enjoy using it.. Nik

Cheers Folks!
