silverfoxnik

Thanks guys for letting us know & Mert, hope all's OK! As Jake can't now run his workshop, would anyone else like to step in and do something? What we have are the following: 1. Compression/Compressors - 51m0n 2. Bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice - alexclaber 3. 'Set up' masterclass - johnnylager 4. ???????? here's a few thoughts I've just had are that it might be really useful to have something on: * Practicing & practice routines * Music theory * Musical styles (e.g. how to play 'Rock' bass, 'jazz-funk' bass etc, etc) * Something on gigging What do you think? Nik

At the Harbour Club...

Any others coming up from the South Coast who'd want to transport their gear in a shared minibus? I can organise it quite easily just like last year.. I'm up for it but I have a gig that night in Shorham, so i need to get away really quickly at 5.30pm or so in order to get back in time for the gig.

[quote name='johnnylager' post='1021996' date='Nov 12 2010, 10:41 PM']Bloody hell, better pull me finger out [/quote] Yes, less than 2 weeks to go now....

[quote name='Clarky' post='1021899' date='Nov 12 2010, 08:26 PM']It's not launched in the UK yet so the only ones who could have tried it would be those attending trade shows or nonUK BCers if it's already launched elsewhere. Looks incredibly well spec'd for the £375 indicated UK price (eg at DV247)[/quote] +1 Seems to be on sale now though on t'internet... Looks very good indeed for the money and I must say, I'm very tempted..

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1020630' date='Nov 11 2010, 08:09 PM']May I just add how generous Clarky and Silddx are? Love this place sometimes. Truckstop[/quote] +1 Absolutely! It's one of the things that makes the Bass Bashes so brilliant...

[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='1020100' date='Nov 11 2010, 02:17 PM'][size=5][color="#FF0000"]Fantastic![/color][/size] C'mon everyone, let's all buy a ticket or ten ...with a prize list like this it's possibly the best bass raffle the UK has ever seen! Where do the non-attendees get the tickets from Nik? Anyone from Yorkshire that wins, I can bring your prize back to Harrogate with me. Phil[/quote] +1 If people who can't make it want to buy tickets, we can operate a system where they PayPal the money for the tickets. Once we've got it, we'll then reserve their tickets for them and those will go into the raffle draw on the day.. How does that sound?

[quote name='silddx' post='1018739' date='Nov 10 2010, 01:30 PM']Oh ok, you had better donate your Alembic then mate. The Orange seems quite a mean, churlish donation now you mention it. [/quote] Clarky; that's a fabulous offer - you are a star! Will update the list accordingly.. And whilst on the issue of the Raffle, can I suggest that we open up the opportunity to buty Raffle tickets to fellow Basschatters who aren't going to be there on the day? IIRC, it's something we did at one of the previous Bashes. Tickets could be purchased using PayPal perhaps and then there'd only be the issue of postage costs What do you think?

Thanks; I've updated the first post on page 1 as well...

Lovely stuff!!!

Very nice trio; and as a complete contrast to the two Fenders, the Alembic is very sexy IMO...

Thanks for doing that Mikey; shame you can't be there though..Hope to see you at the next one!
