@Chrs and I both had our uprights in the 'executive area' (aka quiet room) - the main room was so loud no one would hear them.

The great, “What pedals have you owned?” thread
Rosie C replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Effects

Thanks Phil and how awesome that the cabinet I chose in the blind testing is the BassChat 8" which I've still been thinking about building
-
I did like the orange one. In fact looking at that photo, I could have your orange bass and that TE Elf and cabinet and I'd have a rather nice setup...
-
Me too, hearing all 6, I can't see me buying more than 8" drivers again.
-
@Phil Starr can I ask what was speaker #1 ?
-
Ah, sorry about that. I have zero interest in any 6-strings, it wasn't anything personal! However, looking at your Strat did lead me to thinking about a 3D printed octave mandolin, which I'll message you about sometime to avoid cluttering this topic
-
We're back home safely. Huge thanks to @scrumpymike and team for putting on a fantastic event! Everyone was very friendly, the lunchtime buffet was top notch, Phil put on an interesting blind-listening speaker demo, and there were some great raffle prizes too.
-
I tried this bass, and I think it is the best balanced bass I've ever played - no neck dive at all, and it combines a solid feel without being too heavy.

Live from the bass bash, a photo of the gear while everyone's at lunch...

Well, it's here! I just have to load my bass in the van then we'll be hitting the M5...

If playing a vinyl record isn't enough hassle
Rosie C replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
This is mine - an early 1960s Philips 4-track. 3 speeds, magic eye etc. I have several tapes of my grandfather playing guitar. I tracked down the exact same model they were recorded on, to give me the best chance of getting a decent playback. It feels very strange plugging it into an audio interface and recording into Logic Pro. It is working right now - I bought it from a YouTuber who'd serviced it, but for how long I don't know, so I don't use it for anything. -

Rosie C replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I think if it's been properly stored, and been wound the right way, then it can still be good. I watched this YouTube video recently of someone who'd bought a reel-to-reel recording from the Sergeant Pepper master and Abbey Road helped him play and digitise it... -

Well played @floFC ! I meant I don't use the reel-to-reel for listening to music -

Rosie C replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Oh, I love it! I have a turntable and a valve amp'd reel to reel, although I only use the turntable for listening to music. I actually like the hassle, and it's made listening to music an activity in itself rather than something I have on in the background. -
I found the answer to my question on page 5 as well as a useful reminder to bring a raffle prize
-
I'll make sure to pack some popcorn and grab a front seat

On a more serious note, what time are things kicking off on Sunday?
-
No, no, bring the porcelain figure. Then inevitably someone will steal it and then photos will mysteriously be posted of it at other bass bashes around the country.
-
Sunday!? That came around quickly!
-
I have no lurgy and hoping I don't need the alternate "I caught the Lurgi at the Bash" t-shirt! 😉
-
Likewise, when I joined Facebook my employers had a 'no social media' policy so I used a fake name, then as I promoted our band my fake name sort of became the name people know me as.

Our neighbour is called Bruce, his neighbour called their dog Bruce. They claim it was an accident 🤔

How many hours do people practice?
Rosie C replied to Bassbooksbikes's topic in Theory and Technique
A few years back when I was still improving and doing grades it was an hour most evenings but I got to a place where I'm happy with my skill level and now I'll spend an hour ahead of a gig or recording session, and if there's a new tune to learn I'll set aside some time. -
I play in a duo with my partner, so there's never been controversy! We play renaissance & mediaeval music, with a generous chunk of folk-rock thrown in. I do the patter, usually playing two songs or tunes back-to-back then talking about the one we played and they one we'll play next. My partner (who also has a mic) tends to throw in 'amusing' quips and anecdotes, usually at my expense. I guess we're a bit different in that a lot of the tunes have a bit of history - e.g. Simon & Garfunkel's 'Scarborough Fair' can be traced way back to mediaeval Scandinavia and I talk mostly about the music. But I think without context our stuff wouldn't be as interesting for the audience.
