[quote name='Paul S' post='1037951' date='Nov 26 2010, 04:34 PM']That would be me. I think there is a drummer coming, along with Happy Jack who can now make it? Anyway, I'll stick it in the car regardless.[/quote] Cheers Paul, and thanks also Nig!!

Thanks kraken / barney; that's great! Quick point regarding the Raffle, tickets will be £1 for 3... Anyone who isn't going but would leek to buy some tickets could buy them by PayPal..So send me a PM if you're interested!

[quote name='51m0n' post='1037438' date='Nov 26 2010, 09:31 AM']Now that's commitment![/quote] Absolutely!!

[quote name='Clarky' post='1036600' date='Nov 25 2010, 05:01 PM']Bring a load of lysdexia's photo albums and hand them round, you'll be amazed how quickly the 45 minutes will go (and how few questions you get on compression) [/quote]

Good News! ..amazingly, Happy Jack is now able to make the Bash on Saturday and he is bringing his drummer Paul with him (who was there last year). And I have managed to acquire a small drum kit as well, so we are in a 'Go' situation with regards to the Jam Room!! Jack will also help run the Quiet Room, albeit with slightly less mobility than last year! Thanks in advance to Jack and Paul for offering to help, Josh for the loan of teh kit and Walman for helping with bringing it along on the day..

Thanks guys! How about you do the 11am slot John and maybe another session later as people arrive through the day - we could set up a seperate space for you as the Foyer is so large.. And 51m0n, what about you doing the 1pm slot? So it'd look like this: Workshop 1: 11 am - johnnylager - setups Workshop 2: 12 pm - urb - music theory & music media Workshop 3: 1pm - 51m0n - compression & compressors Workshop 4: 2pm - alexclaber - bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice Phil - we're booked until 6pm I think but because it'll be dark by then and the weather might be bad, it would be best to wrap up at 5pm I think.. Nik

[b]Workshops[/b] 1. Compression/Compressors - 51m0n 2. Bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice - alexclaber 3. 'Set up' masterclass - johnnylager 4. Music Theory / Music Media - urb Mike's offerd to do his session at 12pm, so with that in mind, Alex, John & 51m0n - do you want to let me know what time(s) are good for you? I'd suggest we go something like 45 minute sessions, times as follows: Workshop 1: 12pm - urb Workshop 2: 1pm - ? Workshop 3: 2pm - ? Workshop 4: 3pm - ? Unless anyone fancies doing an 11am slot? And then we could run charic's idea for a session - sort of like a 'knowledge exchange' through out the day, in and around the workshops.. Nik

[quote name='urb' post='1035254' date='Nov 24 2010, 04:37 PM']12noon is good for me - I'll let you know if I'm running late - can you PM me your mobile please dude? I'll try and get there for 10.30 if poss - it's an hour by train from London Victoria so I'll get there sharpish M[/quote] Thanks Mike, will do!!

[quote name='urb' post='1035166' date='Nov 24 2010, 03:10 PM']I'll get there as early as I can but I can't see it being before 11am - so any time between then and 3pm would be cool - I guess I'll just wing it - have my bass handy and if I can borrow an amp that would be cool - please don't expect to be impressed!!! Cheers Mike[/quote] Thanks Mike; i'm sure we can borrow an amp... ow about we go for 12pm or 2pm for you?

[quote name='Linus27' post='1035097' date='Nov 24 2010, 02:10 PM']Surely my presence will add great value to the event and you should be paying me. Is that not how it works? [/quote] Doh; silly me!! Yes of course; we will pay you a years worth of guitar lessons

[quote name='urb' post='1035000' date='Nov 24 2010, 12:44 PM']Hey all - Nick in particular - I know it's not the same but I can bring my loop pedal which comes with some fairly OK drum patterns programmed in - and or a laptop that can provide beats etc - then at least some folks can have a jam - might be organised chaos mind Re the Q&A I'd be happy to take part in something - I know a fair bit about music theory etc (I'm not such a god-like-genius as Jake but hey I play a bit of jazz!) and I could talk about writing - though I'll state unequivocally that I'm not a spokesman for BGM - but obviously it could be interesting to have a chat about the music media etc - dunno if that sounds like a goer? Cheers Mike[/quote] Hi Mike Thanks for chipping in to help out - much appreciated! Regarding the loop pedal, that would be great because one of the nice things about having the Jam Room last year, was the chance to try out a bass and play it away from the main room and to be able to 'play it' as if you were rehearsing or gigging with it..Don't know about anyone else, but hearing a bass withoit any other instruments only tells you one part of the story; having a chance to hear it again a drum beat makes a big difference! So - yes please to the loop pedal.. As for the Q&A, again, that would be just perfect..It provides a chance for a bit of music theory and also, something on the music media would be very interesting too.. Adrian from BGM did a bit on that at the 2008 Bash and it was really good.. So I will update the Workshops thread to include you if that's OK.. What time can you be there to do that btw? Cheers Nik

[quote name='silddx' post='1034988' date='Nov 24 2010, 12:38 PM']Let me know, Nik and I'll bring the guitar. If you can't I ought to let the guy who agreed to bring the fender combo know not to bother. Do you want me to get there a bit earlier to help you set up? N[/quote] That'd be awesome if you can! Thanks ....

[quote name='Linus27' post='1034999' date='Nov 24 2010, 12:43 PM']Can anyone just turn up and have a browse and say hi as it would be good to pop in if I can get away from other stuff.[/quote] Yes! For a small fee....

[quote name='51m0n' post='1034923' date='Nov 24 2010, 11:46 AM']I think its a 10.00 O'clock start, what time will you get there Nick?[/quote] I'm going to get there for about 9am in order to set-up (assuming all that's OK with Hamster)... Clarky: that's great - really appreciate it.. Philw - sorry you can't be there but hope to see you next time! silddx - thanks Nig; still hoping I can find someone for part of it...

Hi Folks, Couple of urgent things: 1) Looks like my 2 available drummers have now both let me down for the day, so we won't be able to have a Jam Room which is a real shame.. Unless anyone knows a drummer who'd be interested in coming along for the day or part of the day? I could get a kit if that helps, so they'd only have to bring themselves... 2) As Happy Jack can't be with us (which is a real shame) perhaps the foyer area which doubled as the Quiet Room and the Workshop Area could be used for the Workshops and also include this idea from charic: [i]"How about a small group of people say 5, each knowing their stuff in each area just available for a Q&A session?" [/i] I'm also looking for someone who'd be happy to take charge of the Raffle on the day? Cheers Nik

[quote name='dood' post='1029271' date='Nov 19 2010, 01:20 PM']George, if you spent more time getting involved with the community, it wouldn't take long for you to realise what a great place this is to be. However, If it doesn't suit what you want or need, You are not being forced to stay here - but there's more than 10,000 people who log in to BassChat who do enjoy it![/quote] As a general comment about Basschat, +1 to the above! This amazing community of bass-players/musicians is the sort of thing I would have loved to be a part of and have access to when I dirst started playing bass back in the 1970's.. Anyone who doesn't appreciate it now, doesn't realise how lucky we all are to have such a valuable resource available to us for [b]free[/b].
