See you there on Saturday - I think most of you know what I look like so do say hello if you see me - I have no specific places to hang but Mark Bass, Bass Direct and Bass Gear are all on my list and see you at the Doug Wimbish/Jon Thorne masterclasses - cheers M

keep checking the guitarguitar facebook page as we're going to be giving away some great gear on the day from Aguilar, Ashdown, Yamaha and more. (not trying to advertise mods, just want fellow basschatters to have a chance of winning the stuff!) There will be details posted this week of how things can be won!

Looks like I'm going to be parking then, cheaper than a train from Watford that's for sure as there's 2 of us to split it. Would I have to pay congestion charge / how would I go about it? I'll be coming in from the M1 I presume?

there's no congestion charge on weekends - so don't worry about that

No congestion charge on the weekend

The pub meetup on Saturday after the show is still on AFAIK, with details to be shared when we meet the guys at their stands at the show. So, if you have time to join us in the evening, go for the Saturday ticket. Or even better, both days!

Just been thinking about this for you. Your satnav/route planner will most likely take you the following..

M1, Staples Corner, west A404 North Circular, Hanger Lane, east A40 to Hammersmith.

May I suggest the following to avoid any awfulness around Hanger Lane/Westfield Shopping/Hammersmith Flyover...

M1 Staples Corner (The end or beginning of the M1, depending on your point of view)
Follow signs for A5 (Edgeware Road) all the way down thru Cricklewood, Kilburn and Maida Vale to Marble Arch
Right at the end (Marble Arch) go last exit (around MA) onto the Bayswater Road A402.
All the way along thru Holland park, taking a left after HP onto Holland Road (funny water thing here) A3220
Olympia is down here on the right.

With it being a weekend you need to be hitting Marble Arch by 9am, before the start of the shopping traffic

Good luck!

HAHA! At the moment I've got a ticket for Saturday. I'll see what I'll feel like doing on Sunday and maybe get another ticket.

The meetups at the various stands and possibly at the pub later are still on! :drinks:

Will do! And I'm warning you all - my camera will be with me all the time, and I anticipate a massive Facebook album with photos of all kinds of gear and hopefully of new friends among you guys (and gals)!

I'll be there on sunday. Am gigging sat night so if you see someone wandering aimlessly around who looks more than half asleep then that'll be me ;)
[/quote]It could just as easily be me...for exactly the same reason :lol: Mind as that is my normal look, if you knew me you would never know

Hi, Planning to be there on Saturday, my first visit. Hope to bump into you all there. Are you using twitter #LBGS2012 to try to track each other down?
