Silvia Bluejay Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) And if/when anyone finally gets the Baton to a west London gig, yours truly will be delighted to take photos and vids and blog about it. Edited June 12, 2013 by bluejay Quote
ubassman Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 It will get down to you soon enough Sylvia - you may have to come to another DB masterclass to pick it up in person ! Quote

[/quote] If anyone fancies that, I guess it can be an option. I won't try it, though, James - I simply don't get along with an upside-down non-symmetrical body, and also, I'm not a gigging bassist anyway. As I said above, I'd be happy to cover the online PR, photos and blogging for any gigs or other news I can get to. Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I'm going to do some promo videos for it soon. If anybody has pictures or footage of the bass, send them to me! [email protected] If anybody wants to shoot a quick endorsement for the relay, send that to me too Quote
Jimryan Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Also, is it worth setting up a Dropbox folder type thing so that everyone has access to all pics/vids at all times? Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Sounds good. I'm on Dropbox already and I can join in whenever. I have a few photos taken at the LBGS, if they can be of any use. Quote

ubassman Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 OK the Bass is now on its way - will be arriving in Falkirk on Friday. Quote
ubassman Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Fully booked out and back down in Derbyshire and available from 14th July onwards ....who is going to be next to shine ? Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1371077266' post='2109675'] It's taking the scenic route! [/quote] No no, it's going north for a little holiday Quote
ubassman Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 If I'd know that I would have hand delivered it ! ...just how sunny and warm does it get in Falkirk? Quote

I could be funny and just say "very", but I don't want you to waste your hard earned money on a trip to "warm, sunny Falkirk", because it doesn't exist Quote

On the basis that I'll be receiving it tomorrow and it going back say on 6/7th July - with it being used on 23rd and 5th July- there is the possibilty of it being used /handed over and then back again whilst on it's holidays. Any one interested let me know. It'll be back up at some point though Quote
mcnach Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Falkirk, huh? I may be able to use it one night in Edinburgh and return it easily... I need to check calendars, it's a bit quiet right now due to various band members' holidays... Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Nacho, you need to clear a space in your sig and add the relay sig Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I've written a blog post about it, which took me a few hours. It includes links and pictures and everything! Feel free to take any info you wish from it http://miltong565.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/about-the-bass-relay-and-why-we-should-all-support-it/ Quote
lurksalot Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Awesome updates , are there definitive dates and venues I can pin onto the map ? Quote

[/quote] Not yet! I think James wants to wait closer to the date of the next gig before announcing it, so we shall keep it on the down low for now! Quote
