Just so I know, yepmop, where are you based in Pompey?

Copnor

[Jimryan]

Ahhhh I grew up in Copnor. Well, Baffins but the address was still Copnor.

[gub]

So how do we do this then ? I suppose wait until all names are in and then make up a route map with dates ? Who's good at this sort of stuff ?

[Jimryan]

Not overly sure if I'm honest. Once it's ready to go, I'd guess; make a thread, anyone interested join/express interested once it's ready to move on, either announce gig location or where it can be collected from and then go from there. How does that sound?

[Jimryan]

Though if someone could knock up a wee map that'd be quite cool

[lurksalot]

Possibley best to get as many on board as poss , plan a rough route, then pester the heck out of everyone to fill the gaps, timescales will be a bit interesting depending of the BCers gig calender .

What are the pickups, can not see from pic, I have various ones, will donate to this if suitable.

They died a while back so I took them out. All that's left in it is the jack socket and earth wire.

Just a bit of fun to see how big I can get a map
Ok that might work , it would need a list to follow with detail of the participants but there should be enough space to put some numbers/letters to index to the list on a route . I would need to update the picture as and when , and please excuse the iffy example above but it might work as long as the entire BC community doesnt join in, but if they do, it could be done region by region

Wouldn't necessarily have to follow a list. Say I do the gig, no one local can collect and I go for a day out somewhere, post "I'll be going to so and so, who wants it" kinda thing, but a list as basic guide would probably help. The maps cool, would be good to watch it move around. Even more so if its a really impracticle route.

I reckon this could turn out really interesting.

Keeping it fluid sounds superb, thats a great vision , it would be a great to keep a list of participants , gigs , dates etc as part of the fun and I will do the map if you want me to .

[Jimryan]

Lurksalot...welcome aboard project relay. I hereby promote you to the position of tracer/navigator.

[lurksalot]

I am honoured to be a part of this superb project , thanks for having me on board

[ThomBassmonkey]

I'd be up for this, would only be able to use it for a song or two as I need a low B for my band but it'd be fun! Plenty of people around the midlands too so it'd be easy to move on around here if people are up for it.

[Vinny]

Count me in on the north east Wales front!

[alstocko]

I love the idea of this, so if it ever passes near my neck of the woods, I'll add my part and pass it along.

I have a bridge and some pickups knocking around somewhere as my contribution!

Awesome dude, glad to hear it.

The bridge is ok, PU's would be handy though.

[Jimryan]

Also, had an idea, along the theme of the photo competition thread, a best change over photo, most innovative change over and best gig photo. How do they sound?

[xilddx]

Jimryan, you should get some sort of award for this if it works mate I reckon it would make a good story for your local newspaper or radio station or something too. Whatever, it should definitely go on the BC blog, or maybe set up a BC Facebook site for it.

It's a f***ing brilliant idea man!

[Gust0o]

On the off-chance this gets held up somewhere, as we won't all be gigging every night, we should probably include filmed rehearsals or other clips - just get some evidence of it being played, eh?

[Raymondo]

Great idea.....count me in!

Or do you have to go to another BC'ers gig to collect it? Could be an idea - and we'd get to see some more music!
[/quote]

Brilliant idea!

If it ever makes it to Scotland, count me in!!!

[The Admiral]

Great idea - strikes me as a great opportunity to perhaps raise some money for charity too. Could this be sponsored in any way or perhaps a competition 'guess the mileage', or even a world record - with the bass being auctioned at the end. It would be fantastic if some celeb players could be persuaded to play this for one song and sign it too. Mark King always strikes me as a very decent guy for example and if he came in, who else does he know? Just a thought.
