Billy Apple Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It might be a murder with a rectally induced bass. If so, definitely want pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvined Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Just got back. Really great event. Thanks to all who spent the time and effort putting on the BC stand.

Shockwave Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Here it is! Brubaker Brute MJXSC4. The new Singlecut import. Lovely electronics and fit and finish overall. The action is pretty damn low, though might have to shim it to get any noticeably lower. The MM pup really sings in this. An excellent Musicman alternative. The hardware is rock solid. Either way its a nice entry into the Singlecut world, will I keep it? Who knows! Tom Richards (Who was the guy selling them on the Bassdirect stand) Was a lovely chap and I hope he enjoyed his stay in blighty! The neck join is a real deep bolt on. Very interesting. This could be one of the first Brute SC's sold in the UK though I would have to get confirmation from Tom about that. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Great day out, thanks again to bluejay for holding the BC torch all weekend Was great to catch up with a few people who I haven't seen for ages and I managed to get Faye to play a few nice basses too She'll be on here soon, I will make sure of that.... Basses of the day for me were the Statii (of course) and ACGs, especially Status's gorgeous red S2 Classic with faux binding and Alan's bubinga Graft 4 (I think???) That one has really got me thinking about a new toy.... Nate Watts was awesome, as were all three teenagers brave enough to stand and play i front of everyone. I'd sh*t myself in the same situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well here's my pre-decimal tuppenceworth: I went on Saturday and had a great time. From comments on previous events, I was expecting it to sound like an explosion in a spoon factory, but it wasn't bad at all. Far worse was the rumbling from the TC Electronics stand which made my fillings vibrate on a number of occasions. You need to bear in mind that I am a Music Teacher and routinely spend time in a class full of students all banging away on whatever they can get their hands on, so maybe I'm just desensitised. The masterclasses and shows were ace. I enjoyed Dave Ellefson's way more than I thought I would. The thought of him playing on a Sunday morning at his local church is an image which will sustain me for days. Jah Wobble was great even though his Bass sounded a bit farty every time he played an 'A'... Lee Rocker err, 'Rocked'. I missed Nate Watts due to lack of foresight on the transport front and had to get a train back to Brum. Please tell me he was terrible... I came away with The Baton - the hard case came in useful when I had to fight my way onto the 17.50 to Watford Junction. For a small fee or donation to BassChat, I will corroborate any stories along the lines of 'No Darling, THIS is that Bass which is going around the country and I haven't spent the children’s trust fund/mortgage/wedding and honeymoon savings on another Bass'. Yes, I am a prince. Well worth the trip and it was lovely to see BassChat in person (sort of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 That was the best weekend I've had in ages. Lovely to meet some of you, in fact I think I enjoyed this side of things more than the basses! I had a good long chat with Sheldon Dingwall after trying a frankly astonishing Combustion bass. Splendid chap. And he can build a bass with an audible and tight low f#! Roll on next year. Bravo to all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have informed the guys at the stand of the existence of Basschat and the interest their basses are receiving - they may sign up and join the conversation soon. [/quote] If you could post what you have up here at some point, that would be great. What ever you have will doubtless be more informative than the single small photo on their website.

[/quote] It was nice enough, but I didn't get to spend ages with i as it was so busy in there, and I was paying more attention to the basses. Intriguing though. I was assured they were very much prototypes so we'll see how they develop! Edited March 3, 2013 by Cosmo Valdemar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootmaster Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) It was a real pleasure to meet some BC'ers today. You made the whole event so much friendlier.

goblin Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well I ended up going down in the end, had to wake up at 5:30 to drive down from Rochdale in time for opening, but it was worth the trip. Was great to catch up with the guys again and meet a couple of new faces too. Ended up being attacked by GAS too and ended up coming away with a lovely 5 string Warwick from the Bass Gear stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
