I'm bored and local - which pub are you in?

Looking back over this thread we should be able to meet quite a few people. I think the BC members on exhibitor stands are, in no particular order: @Goliath_FX - GoliathFX @Vishyyy - Focusrite on Saturday @skelf - ACG @Manton Customs - Manton Customs @Machines , @Bass Direct - Bass Direct @AndyTravis, @walshy - Vintage Bass Room Anyone I've missed? Those intending to go: @jazzyvee, @Kev, @Rich, @ped, @AlexDelores, @Stub Mandrel, @Jackroadkill, @Wombat, @FJ1200, @Bilbothebassplayer, @tauzero, @Beedster, @tonyf, @Richard R For those visiting on Saturday I suggest meeting up by the stage when Steve Lawson is on at about 2pm. Those on Sunday - sort yourselves out by the GoliathFX stand. 😁 Hope to see some of you there.

I'm getting there about 12:30 - 1pm ish. If anyone wants to avoid me then I'm easy to spot as I'll be wearing the t-shirt that's my avatar.

I've lost the editable version of the lanyard files, but just in case anyone does want the BC badges I did a couple of years back these are the images.

Bravo!! 👏 That's made my afternoon 😅

They had better be!

Welcome aboard! That's a very lovely looking bass indeed. What's the spec?

Welcome aboard!

Good grief - that takes me back! Where I lived as a youngster there were two parallel roads Alexander Road and Douglas Road, named after the builder's sons. There was dog poo on both of them (as everywhere else on the 70s), but Douglas Road had a lot more white dog poo than Alexander and I never knew why. Just avoid them both!

A Tupperware food box (or Uppercase food box as my phone prefers to type) might not be strong enough, but would look rather cool if it were transparent.

Excellent!

I have always wanted to play in a cr@p HM tribute band called Iron Midden.

But we'll laugh at you struggling back across the park carrying two basses, an amp, and a collapsible music stand "because they were on such good show offer prices."

That is fabulous!

(my emphasis) Also - are you a time traveller?

Is there an NBD post?

Playing one of @skelf's basses was a real highlight of my visit a couple of years ago. Having heard so much praise for ACG basses on this forum it was great to finally play one. And they are very, very, nice! No affiliation, just a crappy bass player with happy memories.

Just back from sitting in on band practice for this Sunday's service in church. I'm not playing then, but it's been a hard week and I really didn't feel like sitting at home alone this evening as the wife is away. Several new songs, the drummer feeling rough, I kept stepping on the tuner mute button, everyone made mistakes and it was all a bit chaotic. However lots of laughter, lots of energy - we got most of the way there in the end and it blew the cobwebs away. Hooray for live music!

Updated P2. Well done for a new Personal Best @MrDinsdale.

If you are trying to avoid GAS, then you can join the movement here:

Would you want to share them, to encourage the rest of us?

Steady On Chaps!! If word of this sort of behaviour gets out we'll have Rachel Reeves blaming us for an economic downturn!! Seriously though - this is the point of the thread. As Aaron Burr never sang: "Purchase less; play more. Don't let them know that your fingertips are sore. "

Welcome aboard!

What on earth are you doing here then?? Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!
