    [b]URGENT NEWS:-[/b] For some reason, [b]the rooms where the Bash is happening on Saturday have changed[/b] and we will now be in: [b]Onslow Suite 1 & 2[/b] The Onslow Suite(s) are located in the [b]Academy[/b] area of the Holiday Inn site and The Academy has it's own car park on the left hand side as you drive into the Holiday Inn (if you're coming by car that is). Once parked, you go into the lobby of the Academy and the Onslow Suites will be to your left. Access is apparently very easy! There is a [b]bar[/b] and [b]restaurant[/b] close by to the Onslow Suites and also, a lounge area if you need a bit of quiet time or want to have a chat etc! Here's a link to the Holiday Inn web page which has more info: [url="http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925/en/hotel/guisu?&countryId=0925&cm_mmc=mdpr%2d%5f%2dgooglemaps%2d%5f%2dhi%2d%5f%2dguisu"]http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925/en...ps-_-hi-_-guisu[/url] Nik

    Hi Folks, After a series of PMs and discussions, we think the best way around the potential overcrowding/too much noise problem is to let everyone bring their gear with them as they see fit.. But then, upon arrival, everyone gets issued with some kind of identifying tag (like a number, e.g. odds & evens or a colour, e.g. reds or blues). Then, every hour or so, if it get's to the point where as Merton put it so well in the OP, we start to hit: [i]"..a meltdown in noise and room space."[/i] Then we'll alternate between the numbers or colours so we can keep some kind of control over things. To be honest, it's by no means a perfect solution because it will need monitoring and implementing somehow but because we don't want anyone to feel excluded from bringing their own stuff, it's the best solution we've been able to come up with. In the end, I think it all comes down to having a sense of respect for everybody else there and being aware of what's going on around you throughout the day. IMO, I think it'll work best if it's a self-managed situation and everyone keeps the issue in mind... So if everyone coming could give this idea their support, we'd really appreciate it! . After all, this is all of ours event and it will only be as good as we all want it to be! I hope that makes sense and it's OK for everyone, but if anybody has any better ideas as to how to make this work, then please say so as we'd be more than happy to take them on board.. Look forward to seeing you there! Nik

    [quote name='Merton' post='289000' date='Sep 22 2008, 10:23 AM']The Holiday Inn does indeed have a bar with bar snacks, so they told me anyway... Looking forward ot this, it's gonna rock! Thanks to Nik for being the head honcho iwithout whom it would have never happened [/quote] Cheers Merton, but this has been a real team effort so far so I can't take any credit other than for being foolish enough to suggest we have another SE Bash in the first place By the way, I've just had confirmation that Bernie Goodfellow is coming up on Saturday with some fabulous basses and some EBS Rigs, which is great news! Bernie's kindly going to donate something to the Raffle as well I'm going to look at the Worskhops schedule later to see if we can give Bernie a space to demonstrate some of his basses/rigs on the day as well as him being set-up in the main room..

    [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='288943' date='Sep 22 2008, 08:29 AM']Hey Nik, would I be able to buy a ticket at the bash, instead of on here? I'm definately comin, and definately buyin a ticket...andy chance you can make this possible? [/quote] No problem at all! Only reason for a cut-off is that we probably wouldn't be able to check online whilst there as we've so much going on.. But no problem selling tickets to folk there on the day at all!

    [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='288939' date='Sep 22 2008, 08:25 AM']I think everyone's just tryin to work out their schedule so they can get to all the workshops AND have a noodle on everyones kit AND have a pint AND some food! o yeah, will there be a resteraunt in the venue?[/quote] Cheers Phil - you're probably 100% spot-on. I'm just getting a bit twitchy now.. AFAIK, there's food and drink available but merton will clarify that I'm sure. See you there! Nik

    Hi Folks, Less than a week to go now guys! Please can anyone who's interested in having a set-up done on the day by Joe White let me know here, as I'd hate it for Joe to be available all day and him only have 2 set-ups to do - those currently being one for stingrayfan and one for me? And if there's any other questions or anything concerning any of the Workshops, please post them up here.. I know the old saying is that 'silence is glden' but I'm getting worried because no-one has made any comments about the Workshops.. Is there something wrong?? Should also have some news on Benie Goodfellow's involvement as well by tomorrow.... As you can tell, this is an [i]'early Monday morning with less than a week to go, getting nervous' [/i]kind of BUMP! Nik

    Hi Folks, Less than a week to go now!! Here's a link to the RAFFLE in the For sale Forum.. Please have a look and buy a ticket!!! As they say, you have to be in it to win it.. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27998"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27998[/url] There will be other Raffle prizes on the day as well for everyone who's coming along....

    The Winner is [b]mike 257[/b] Hi Folks, Following on from the example of the Yorkshire Bass Bash in the summer, we have a Black Extreme Jazz Bass to auction here as part of the fundraising side of things for the South East Bash this coming Saturday. With thanks to yorks5stringer for the help and wording on this, here's some blurb to get you all interested in suporting this worthy cause: [i]"The view of those present was that we should raffle the bass for [b]£5.00 per ticket[/b] on this site as it exposes it to more potential purchasers and therefore we should be able to raise more money for the charities we wish to support."[/i] Funds raised will be split between [b]Basschat.co.uk[/b] and [b]The Enable Me Project[/b] (www.enableme.org.uk) who I work for and which is a disability charity based in West Sussex that works in schools and the community. Here's the bass: [attachment=13784:Extreme_...z_Bass_1.jpg] [attachment=13783:Extreme_Jazz_001.jpg] [attachment=13785:extremeP65B.jpg] Ideally, I'd like the closing date to be this [b]Friday[/b] at midnight as [b]Adrian Ashton[/b], Editor of [b]Bass Guitar Magazine[/b] has kindly offered to draw the winner at The SE Bash on Saturday afternoon... However, times being tough and all, we may extend the deadline and do it a week later if take up is slow here (credit crunch, what credit crunch????).. So come on folks, remember this is for [b]Charity[/b] and it is a great little bass too - in fact, I was surprised at just how good it is!! As you can see, they retail at less than £90.00, but I'm hoping that we can more than double that with your support! [b]Just £5.00 a ticket [/b] There will be other Raffle prizes on the day at the Bash too so all in all, should be a great day! Thanks again for your interest & support! Nik

    [quote name='walplayer' post='288264' date='Sep 20 2008, 09:56 PM']All working fine,it's had pots replaced by Wal few yrs back,got the old pots an note off Wal in a little bag. Very powerful output on these things,i find i have to keep the pick ups lowered.[/quote] I know what you mean; I've never heard a bass with louder output (though I'm sure there are some somewhere..).. Good move getting the pots replaced as they do go eventually.. Is this your only Wal or do you have a few to keep you company after this one sells?

    [quote name='steve' post='288099' date='Sep 20 2008, 05:20 PM']<drums fingers> [/quote] Oops, sorry! You can't drum your fungers, you're the bass player... PM now..

    [quote name='walplayer' post='287758' date='Sep 19 2008, 11:44 PM']Thanks Nik It does have one off the E string machinehead on the back but you can hardly see it.(as well as a few other little dings and lacquer crazing)and yeah you often see them. Bein the trainspotter i am,i came up with this theory for them happening There's two little prongs on the m4s machine heads that go into the head,these snap easy if the machinehead is lose and takes a knock ,which often leads people to overtighten them,as there's still movement once they've snapped. Pete[/quote] Sounds like it could be feasible, though I've seen the cracks on other parts of the lacquer away from the machine head, so who knows? Whatever the cause, your bass seems pretty clear of them and overall, in very good condition considering it's age... What are the electrics like?
