Stingray5 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks for the heads up on this Sylvie. It's in the diary now so if I'm not in the wilds of Outer Mongolia (or, dare I say it, Bognor Regis!), I will make at least one of LBGS days.

Silvia Bluejay Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Will be good to see you there! And fear not, I am so going to bang on about Basschat being there with our corner next to Bass Gear that nobody will be unaware of the event or our presence there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Quick heads-up: even if early bird tickets aren't available any longer, there is a discount for groups of six or more, which means those of you who haven't got tix yet can get in touch with each other on here and team up.

Silvia Bluejay Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Their website only mentions group and student discounts. If a group of you guys team up, you can get a discount that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I went this year for the first time and wished I'd brought my own bass when I was trying out bass gear. Does anyone know the policy about punters bringing in personal instruments to the show?

Silvia Bluejay Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I have no answer to that, but I imagine it should be OK, if you don't mind lugging a bass around for the whole day. After all, if you bought a bass at the show and then carried it around to other stands and used it to try effects and cabs, I imagine that would be permitted...?

EBS_freak Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I don't know what the score is with the LBGS but typically show frown upon you bringing your own gear in. Too easy for you to carry a gig bag with a POS in and swap it for something nice off a stand. Having taken my bass to Messe, they run a system where the bass is checked in, stickered and then you have to check it out again when you leave. It's a nightmare having it checked in and out and involved a lot of standing about waiting. My advice would be not to bother. Also, if you are told you can bring it, then you get there and you are told that you can't take it inside, where do you leave your bass then?

Jazzyvee [/quote] There were a number of people who brought their own basses last year, but in the 10's and not in the hundreds. I had my own basses there because I was helping out on the MB stand (and again this year), but not sure of there is an official policy for visitors, The LBGS has in the past (and this year too I would guess) operated a policy of quiet and loud sessions, to try and give people the opportunity to have sensible conversations for most of the time. If you're expecting to try amps/effects etc, with your own bass and with HIFI clarity, then you're gonna have to doing through headphones at quiet times or be an expert at blocking out the background noise of dozens of amps at full bore at noisy times!

timmo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am working that weekend, but i have put out a shift swap request so i reckon i will be able to go. Very disappointed to be only able to make one day though. It looks like it will be Saturday, but missing Jack Bruce and Lee Sklar will be sad. But then i don`t want to miss Roger Glover either. Pity the 3 of them weren`t on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the score is with show-goers in general though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
