[quote name='Stingray5' post='996577' date='Oct 22 2010, 01:04 AM']I'm fine with whatever is decided. Both are very worthy causes and a nice way to further honour Si/OG. I'm also just rooting through my dark, dank, dungeon (otherwise known as my store cupboard!) for some goody(ies) to donate to the raffle.[/quote] Thanks; that just about sums up my view on it..

[quote name='silddx' post='996475' date='Oct 21 2010, 10:34 PM']I can donate for the raffle one unused rattle can of Tonetech Luthier Supplies Clear Gloss Pre Cat Nitro lacquer, and a mint hardback copy of The Album Cover Album, edited by the great Storm Thorgerson and Roger Dean. Hope that's not too weird or anything![/quote] Thanks Nig! ..perfectly wierd yet wonderful with it...

Hi Folks, As you know, we'd like to donate any proceeds from the day in honour of Old Git. Having consulted with Ros (Si's widow), she said that Si supported and believed in the work of these two Charities particularly: The Kambia Appeal (kambia.org.uk) - supporting a hospital in Sierra Leone (Si did his thing on their last web site) The Samaritans (samaritans.org) Does anyone have a particular preference as to which should receive a donation or shall we just split the funds between them? Nik

[quote name='Truckstop' post='996154' date='Oct 21 2010, 05:00 PM']Would you like to put my Boss ODB-3 in the raffle as a booby prize? You're welcome to it. Otherwise I'll be wandering around like the opposit of a hobo actually forcing into someones hands! Truckstop[/quote] Yes please! Will update the Raffle post now....

[quote name='cetera' post='995675' date='Oct 21 2010, 10:48 AM']Just out of interest will we each get a badge with our username/real name on it? Just for ease of identifying each other etc. Sorry if this has been covered in the past but this is the first one I can actually make! [/quote] Pete a.k.a. Bloodaxe has offered us a very cool Basschat label design that we can use...

Good question! ... isn't it just that times are very tough and some people are having to liquidate bass-related assets to raise fund for other things in life which [i]may[/i] be more essential right now?

[quote name='Merton' post='995410' date='Oct 20 2010, 10:47 PM']Just spoken to Phil Mulford, he is hopeful he can make it for a few hours in the morning, hopefully with some of his Overwater basses in tow. Might get him to bring his new rig too, though I can't say what it is just yet [/quote] Great news!! Thanks Mert.. And also that Si & Pete can make it too.. And yes, a good point cetera; we did do labels last year but they kept falling off do the the sustained levels of low-frequency vibrations in the building!

[quote name='Paul S' post='995023' date='Oct 20 2010, 04:30 PM']How loud? I have a Fender G Dec 30 I could sling in the car.[/quote] Brilliant - that should do it! Thanks...

[quote name='Clarky' post='995067' date='Oct 20 2010, 04:48 PM']I will donate a Warwick 'Rockbag' 2u semi-hard rack case for the raffle[/quote] Thanks Clarky; added to the list above already!

[quote name='obbm' post='992688' date='Oct 18 2010, 08:10 PM']In one of my PM's I said "BTW I'll donate a 5m Klotz AC110 instrument cable with Silent jacks for the raffle."[/quote] Many thanks Dave! My mistake for missing that kind offer from the list!...

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='992150' date='Oct 18 2010, 12:47 PM']I'm coming to play! will bring my custom Shuker and possibly my Hamer Blitz or Iceni Zoot. [b]Can I ask for/suggest a set up master class? The idea being someone stands at the front and goes through a set up, and we all work on our own basses following the hints and tips. If as many people as possible try to bring their own tools, then lending to the odd person shouldn't be a problem. Will there be the space to do this (an empty classroom?) and is there anyone who wants to lead the class?[/b][/quote] Cool! be good to see you there.. I think this 'set up masterclass' idea is great and was mooted last year - any one out there who has the skills and confidence to lead it?

[quote name='Paul S' post='981682' date='Oct 8 2010, 03:24 PM']This might sound like a daft thing to say but would it be of value to anyone other than myself if someone were able to demonstrate how various amp settings - low gain/high gain, different EQ settings etc - affect the sound. Happy to volunteer my TE rig for the purpose. It is something I just never seem to get time to do it at rehearsal as everyone is always noodling as soon as they get set up, so I press the 'pre-shape' and get on with it.[/quote] This is a great idea if it can be sorted out; perhaps as a workshop in the quiet room area? [quote name='51m0n' post='982200' date='Oct 9 2010, 12:22 AM']Well I'd certainly be up for an informal chat about anything like bass tones and stuff - thats why I'm going, I'm hoping to learn something I'm pretty sure that by the time I've finished yacking about compressors the last thing anyone will want is me to talk more about, well anything actually! Alex C is comng along, he's a reknowned talker about all things bass tone, and a chap who really knows his beans, maybe he'll fill in on this one?[/quote] Alex - what do you think?? Perhaps this could follow on from the compressor talk....
