mcnach Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1367633312' post='2067845'] I thought the worry would have set in when you offered to let me play at one of your gigs? Or the fact that you might actually meet me! [/quote] I'm sure that would be a pleasure! I just hope you don't stop playing halfway through and enter review mode talking about my bass and it looked nice but it plays like sh*t and it needs new strings and the preamp is unnecessary and this and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Took the baton to church this morning. I made a speech about the relay, waving the baton around like a demented King Arthur with Excalibur. I played it on all the songs in the service. Result - £96.50 in the pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I've got the chance to collect a bit more cash this weekend with the baton because I've got a barn dance gig. Anyone in the Derby/Notts area want it next after Monday 13th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hey guys, can't see it mentionned before - The relay's made it into this month's Bass Guitar Magazine!

If it's made in to a bit of a spectacle, it should draw crowds better. When I launched my new YouTube reviews channel, I just made a short video that was vague enough to get people interested. There should be some kind of promotional video on YouTube for this. I'd be happy to make one if you want, but i'd need some pictures or video footage. Then everyone can link it to their Facebooks and Twitters with the info on their upcoming gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Next leg of the relay tonight. Barn dance at Muggington village hall, Derbyshire. Live music by Dungeon Ghyll, featuring yours truly who will be root/five-ing the baton all night. Who's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Muggington? Go careful :-p Also, how many members have used it so far/signed the T? Once it builds up I'll contact national press. Also (again), if anyone wants one (like me but a black one...medium size :-p), I'm sure if you ask Ped nicely, he'll be able to sort out an embroided polo like the one accompanying the baton. As a nice little personal momento and it'd also help the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Also, if the next user could state their preferred string type and gauge please. I'm going to contact Jason at Rotosound again as at LBGS he said he'd love to get involved with the relay by supplying a selection of string sets, but I've still not heard back. If I should have some luck this time, I'll need to know what set to prioritise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Another fun night for the relay. £28 in the pot. I played the baton for the whole gig, personally I think this 'one song' business is a bit of a wimp-out. Anyway, including GAZM's £62 for last Friday, that's £186 for the cause in one week. Who's next? let's keep this moving!! (I'm the 11th name on the shirt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
