Very nice Colin; both the new bass and Alex's weapon of mass destruction

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1379854051' post='2217408'] I reckon next year's will be a cracker Will you be uploading any pics you took yesterday Nik? [/quote] Yes, will do tonight

Wow! What a fab day Thanks to everyone who came yesterday and to everyone who either worked behind the scenes to make it happen or who gave a talk/workshop. Loads of people gave either their time, support, ideas, knowledge/experience, donations, general goodwill etc, etc -it was just brilliant! Sorry about the SNAFU with the tombola and things over-running; as Jack's already said, 'less is more', so we'll try and get that right next year. I didn't get to see much gear, but obbm's Sadowsky, smaz's Fender fretless and the new Barefaced cabs were amazing!! Got to thank especially, Walbassist for sorting out the action on my Blade B15 and Doug who helped us set up at 9am - cheers guys. Plus Matt from Admiral Roadside Assistance who helped me to get home after I stupidly locked myself out of my car as I was just about to leave... And really cool to see Kiwi again after so long too.. Here's to next year already

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1379720276' post='2216276'] Back in the room. See you all sometime earlyish I hope! A load of stuff in to go in the car. How much I unload depends on what else arrives. Nighty night all [/quote] Cool - see you there Al

Right; signing off for the evening now, so just to wish you all a safe and speedy journey tomorrow.. See you there!

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1379693630' post='2215841'] I hope the substation at Addlestone is prepared forthe power surge when all this lot plugs in ? [/quote]

There's usually lots of chairs, so shouldn't be a problem at all..

Many thanks Chaps! Don't you just love this place...

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1379674877' post='2215533'] I will be bringing a couple of Jazz scratch plates - don't know which of the multitude of Fender models they fit, but if anyone can identify them I should be grateful. Oiz gettin 'sited now. [/quote] Cool! [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1379674973' post='2215537'] What's the problem Nik? [/quote] neck's a bit straight I think... [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1379677032' post='2215568'] If I can persuade MiniMert to come along for a bit then I will put in an appearance but I doubt I'll be able to. He didn't mind about 30mins of slapping at the 2012 London Bass Show... That's a pretty good threshold of pain... [/quote] Understood mert but would be great to see you and mini-Mert even for an hour

Just a quick shout to see if anyone has any wall-hangers/fixings for basses that they might want to sell? And also, if there's anyone coming tomorrow who's a bit handy in the set-up department, as my Blade B15 needs a tweak??

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1379607558' post='2214794'] I'm off to Maidstone on Saturday morning to hopefully do a trade deal, I was thinking of popping in on my way back to Swindon - It'd be rude not to!. If I can fit it in, I'll bring my EAD Foundation 212 and Markbass TT500 [/quote] Cool - looking forward to hearing that rig
