skelf Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Round two at the London Bass Guitar Show. A good day yesterday the noise issue was much better than last year in our part of the hall so that made for a far less tiring day. Also made talking to potential customers much easier and more productive. Show special offer on the Graft Recurve 5 left hander. Down to £600.00 for the day. This offer applies on line as well so feel free to message me or drop me a mail. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Steve, it has been - and is - my pleasure, and great fun. As always, the people are the best part even of such a gear-oriented event as this Quote
ezbass Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1362293677' post='1997960'] I just want to say a huge thanks to Bluejay for representin' BC this year and to Barrie for inviting us sit in with Bassgear. Not only did Bluejay donate her time but she also organised the banners. I think next year we're going to have to look seriously at being bona fide exhibitors. [/quote]Hear, hear! Quote

BigRedX Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I don't suppose I could ask a favour of anyone at the show today with a camera? Would it be possible to take some photos of the [url=http://www.squareoneguitars.com]Square One Bass[/url] particularly details of the neck joint and the pickup assembly? And then post them here? Thanks! Quote
ratman Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Aaargh. I just had a hernia op and I can't go to the show. Really pissed off!!! Quote

Billy Apple Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Apparently Matamp had a demo model of their new 500 hybrid, but in an unmarked box. It is going to be sold through a distributor who's stand it was on, and labelled as the distributors product. Anyone see it, or know who the distributor is?[/font][/color] Quote

Chrismanbass Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 is it just me or does theres seem to be a couple of amp companies who insist on turning their amps up louder than everyone else's? Quote
Shockwave Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Erk. A bass followed me out of the show today. Mrs will kill me! Quote

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
