... maybe! 😀

No, I didn't have time to A/B the Elf against anything else unfortunately. I was actually trying out a Tokai Thunderbird when Dave at GB suggested I run it through the Elf. Might get a chance Monday though...

For anyone else interested in booking some work in with Ian Robinson on the day, he suggests you have a look at his website to see what work he does. www.string-instrument-repairs.co.uk

How frustrating is that!!

👍

Good point Martin, Let's post things for sale here on this thread - do you want to get us started with your bass?? Nik

Just 2 weeks to go BUMP! 😊 And here's the updated schedule again: 11.15: [b]Talk by Lee from Andertons Music Co[/b]. 12.30: [b]Davey Rimmer, Uriah Heep bassist[/b] 14.00: [b]Steve Lawson Workshop[/b] 15.30: [b]Ped update on new Basschat website[/b] - this is subject to audio visual equipment being available on the day 16.00: [b]South East Bash Raffle[/b] So; [b]Andertons[/b]: According to Lee, he said he 'would love to come and meet us Basschatters and talk all things bass... what we want from a bass shop, what their plans are etc.... :-)' 👍 Sounds pretty good to me! [b]Davey Rimmer, Workshop[/b] With a bit of help from Gary, a.k.a. cetera, I'm really pleased to say that Davey Rimmer (bassist for Uriah Heep) has offered to give a 45 minute presentation on his career; gear choices, life on the road, Uriah Heep, Trevor Bolder etc. And, if we ask him nicely, he may demonstrate a few tunes for us! 👏 [b]Steve Lawson Workshop[/b] Steve had this to say about his workshop; '...Am happy to do whatever fits best - gig/masterclass/Q&A/bit of all three (I'm sure whatever I do will turn into a bit of all three of those. ' Again, it sounds great and definitely not one to miss! [b]Ian Robinson, luthier[/b] Ian has kindly offered to come along again this year and do set ups and other techy stuff on the day. In order to make it worthwhile for Ian to come up for the day from the south coast for the day, it'd be good if he had an idea of any work that anyone might need. So, if there's anything that you need done on a bass, guitar, mandolin etc, please could you post up a request here so Ian knows what kit to bring up with him. Thanks! 😊 [b]Other stuff[/b] We were hoping that walbassist could run a fretless bass workshop, but Gareth's now not available on the day, so hopefully we can do that next year instead. There will of course be all the usual other stuff going on of course, [b]The Jam Room[/b], [b]For Sale area[/b] in the Foyer, the big [b]Hall[/b] where you can set up all of you gear and basses, etc, etc and of course the [b] Refreshments Area[/b] ☕🍩 in the Foyer brilliantly arranged and managed by 🌠 Mrs Hamster! 🌠 By the way, if anyone would like to [b]donate some goodies for the Raffle[/b], it would be very much appreciated! So, thanks again for looking and we look forward to seeing you next month! 😊 Nik/obbm/Happy Jack/bluejay

^^ Oh, and Dave there at GB Music has this one for sale, with 3 more coming in next week...

Tried an ELF out yesterday at GB Music in Bognor (gbmusic.co.uk) and was amazed at the volume it out our for such a small piece of kit! It's half the size of my Zoom B3 , and smaller than some pre-amps I've owned in the past. Quite how it would be in a gig setting I've no idea, but it's a very clever piece of technology.

Worked fine on my mobile, Silvia but then I've got the Dropbox app already set up on my phone.. Thanks for doing that btw 😊

Hi Dave Of course; I'll let Ian know for you.. Nik

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1504566418' post='3365788'] Another pre-booking for Ian. It would be great if he could swap the plastic barrel stereo jack on my Aria for a proper Switchcraft stereo jack socket If he could just give all the wiring a quick check with a multimeter too that would be great. Ta. [/quote] Hi Trevor Ian says that's fine; should be about£25.. Nik

Thanks Trevor, Will make sure Ian knows... Nik
