MiltyG565 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1360679748' post='1974468'] James, I would try contacting one of the BC admins to see if they can ask companies to help on your behalf- asking as Basschat, and mentioning our website/Twitter/Facebook channels will probably get more attention than asking as yourself. [/quote] This is very wise! They also have a connection with rotosound already, don't they? I prefer D'Addario's, but i'll probably not be playing the bass Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Rotosound is one of BC's advertisers. Quote
MiltyG565 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1360680877' post='1974498'] Rotosound is one of BC's advertisers. [/quote] Yes, and didn't a couple of the head honchos visit the factory too? Quote
mcnach Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1360664706' post='1974083'] I've just been directed to this thread by a certain spanish/scottish friend of ours. Could i suggest that people involved in the relay record themselves with the bass. So that would mean setting up with the bass, a few words about who/what/where/when and then gig footage. I would be happy to edit it all together in a montage sort of thing. [/quote] nice! I'll certainly do that when it gets here! Quote
Jimryan Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 For those that missed it on Facebook; I've just done some last minute checks ready for tomorrow night, ladies and gentlemen, please meet your new partner in crime... [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Bcbassrelay/image_zps85050f55.jpg[/IMG] Also, in addition to the collection box, cancer research have also sent me some seals for the box, a second box and a blank poster. I've made some copies and included the original card one so you lot can make copies too. Here's a poor example of what you could do: [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Bcbassrelay/image_zps8f1dc3ad.jpg[/IMG] Cheers James Quote
lowdowner Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Excellent - can't wait.. when's it coming over to cheltenham? Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 And this is the A4 poster that will be placed on the bass when we take photos of it at the LBGS: Quote
MiltyG565 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1360961503' post='1979246'] LBGS: [/quote] This always makes me think "Lesbian bi gay-sexual". Then i see a homophobic in-bred texan in my head saying something like "S/He's one o dem der lesbian bi gay-sexuals". But i now realise that i means London Bass Guitar Show. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 LOL I'm not remotely as interesting as that, I'm afraid... Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Best of luck with it Jim, I have a few gigs coming in now so I am hoping it will head on up to me soon Quote
Jimryan Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Sorry I'm late guys, been busy. Gig was AMAZING. My favourite gig so far. Date: 16/02/2013 Location/venue: The Jolly Sailor, Portsmouth Band: Mr. Big Stuff, 8 piece funk, soul & Motown covers. Since I started playing, all I've wanted is a band with a horn section and one that people dance too. Saturday fulfilled both. For the duration of the gig I used my squier VM Precision, through a Polytune mini, and my DOD FX25b. From there I used the balanced out on the BH250 and straight through the PA. This was a great idea on paper, but resulted in me having to play near on the entire gig blind. When the time came, I donned the BC polo, reached for the baton, and ran through our rendition of Dee-Lite's "Groove is in the heart". I had a fantastic time, had a few drinks, even got ordered to do a solo during an extended break in "we are family". All in all, fantastic. Obviously, I'm aware that without photos, it never happened. They're only camera phone jobs, but people of basschat...here is your proof: [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Bcbassrelay/image_zpsb6a41753.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Bcbassrelay/image_zps00c1a8e6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Bcbassrelay/image_zpsc4a9fe1f.jpg[/IMG] Annoyingly, the only pictures I have (so far), I'm in serious mode. However, most of the night I was smiling and dancing. Quote
Jimryan Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 And some from the rest of the show: [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/image-10_zps6d801134.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/image-10_zps307e5891.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/image-10_zpsce15261a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/image-10_zps39eba28a.jpg[/IMG] Quote
