AndyTravis Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='980953' date='Oct 7 2010, 09:04 PM']Hi guys. I've not actually purchased a bass day ticket or anything. I'd really like to know if there is even the remotest possibility of being refused entry or being sold out on the door because there is no way I want to be staying in this sh*t hole for another weekend just to be told I'm not allowed in...[/quote] Which sh*t Hole is that?

AndyTravis Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Sounds like what you need is a BASSDAY :brow: ! I'm certain you can pay on the door mate, although it works out cheaper to buy in advance... Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Do mention your avatar name when coming up to the Bass Gear stand ...I always like clocking fellow BC'ers. I'm being helped out on the stand by the very kind Yorks5stringer and Molan. See you there! Phil Quote

keeponehandloose Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Just to let everybody know that the Mancunian Way is closed today and tomorrow(BASSDAY)and is causing some bloody awful traffic jams around ,all the traffic has to go through the town centre. It may not be as bad on Sunday but you may want to add a bit off traveling time. Quote

ped Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'll see you all there tomorrow - I'm going to be nipping around the trade area and the stage/backstage bit taking pics for Basschat so come and say Hi! ped Quote
AndyTravis Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm going to be looking after the two Hartke rigs for Stu Hamm and Billy Sheehan. Think there will be a chance to play through them when they aren't using them, please say hello! Quote
Machines Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Looks like it might be more of a bass bash for us lot than anything else ! See you there chaps. Quote
sshorepunk Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm on the Matamp stand with my rig and a few of my basses, with that Tayste bloke, he's the one[i] with[/i] the hair! Tony Quote

Phil[/quote] Yep - I'm definitely coming up early in the morning Have managed to arrange to collect a couple of cabs for myself on the way up & drop off a bass for Phil & pick up two in exchange on the way home - some good organising there, let's hope I don't screw it up!

daz Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) see you there tomorrow. Think ill be posh and travel by train, then i can have a half a mild. Edited October 9, 2010 by daz Quote
molan Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Forgot to say - i'm driving up from Oxfordshire if anyone needs a lift. i'm getting there pretty early because I need to help Phil with set-up so that may not suit people not working on the day (public tickets don't get access until 12:00 & I'll be there about 10:30!). Could easily give someone a lift back though if that helps. I'll probably be leaving early evening, would like to see Billy S though - so maybe after that Quote

EdwardHimself Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Guys, should I bring a bass to bass day!? Quote

molan Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I'm here - Mancunian way totally closed and traffic backing up already! Quote

Tony[/quote] Ha, good to meet you both - although you won't have realised you were talking to a fellow BC'er. I know I didn't (I was the guy there minutes before Stu Hamm started). On a separate note, out of all the trade stands that were there I didn't see a single Warwick or Spector. Just an observation Quote
goblin Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 [quote name='M-Bass-M' post='983638' date='Oct 10 2010, 07:03 PM']I didn't see a single Warwick or Spector. Just an observation [/quote] I noticed that as well which was a bit of a suprise, but I still had a great time. Some guys took pics of me playing throughout the day too but i've no idea where I can see them. I was mainly playing ze Shukers and spent some time with that Piccolo Bass on one of the stands too.
