I'm also hoping to be able to keep tweeting on my netbook (haven't got a smartphone) from the venue. (They should have some sort of wireless service on offer, I hope.) In any case, if you mention us on Twitter, please use the hashtag [b]#BCatLBGS[/b]. I'm soo looking forward to this weekend! \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can take a few group photos with the Baton, and then I'm sure someone will come forward to take it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) [quote name='DogHammer' timestamp='1361802471' post='1991071'] Nice. As long as I get to see Andy Irvine then I'm happy. And hoping that the Warwick stand is extensive. Still haven't tried a Streamer in left handed, wanted to hear and feel the difference to my Corvette, as was in 2 minds when I bought it! [/quote] I have bad news for us Warwick-mad lefties. Their stand appeared to be well ready this afternoon when I was at the show. They have a good number of basses there - but NOT ONE OF THEM LEFT-HANDED. I saw a nice lefty Corvette 4 waiting to be put in place at another stand, and several lefty Höfner MacCartney models - but not much else for us. Edit: forgot to mention the Wood&Tronics lefty Barrie showed me, which is for sale at the Bass Gear stand. There will also be another lefty model at our stand, a Carvin, arriving tomorrow.

molan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Late update on stand layout After some friendly negotiation with the organisers we've extended the width of the stand by a few metres and should have a nice big pop-up stand with a BassChat logo on. It's right by the entrance to the main hall on the left as you enter. Even more exciting is that, due to a relatively late cancellation there's now a big empty area in front of the stand. Late this evening the organisers put four large sofa-type seats there. Might help give people a place to rest in between trudging around the stands It's directly in front of the Bass Gear stand. Also a quick plug to confirm that Jens Ritter will be around to chat to people at 15:00 on each day and we'll also co-ordinate with Dave Swift to come along around some BC meet times in case anyone wants to chat to him about the life of being Jools Holland's first call bass man for 22 years! Looking forward to seeing you all there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do the show but am gigging on Sat and off to the Welsh stages Rally on Sunday , on an invite, so I will wish all the BCers a great weekend , and hope the Baton keeps moving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in early - or, to be more precise, I'll be queueing from early so I can get in at 10am sharp - and set up the remaining bits and pieces. It's going to be unfeasibly awesome!
