skelf Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) AC Guitars and East Tone UK will once again be exhibiting at the show. I will have a selection of basses to try or buy as usual. There will be 3 new models launched at the show and the Über Graft range will have an official launch at the show. I will also be launching a newly developed process used on top and finger board woods which will be on display on two Über Spec Bases.. Details on the new range can be found in the Graft section of the website. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/uber-graft-specification/"]http://www.acguitars...-specification/[/url] There is a special offer on the range in the run up to the London Show. This includes stock instruments and any orders placed before or at the show. Edited January 31, 2014 by skelf Quote
rushbo Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 John Taylor is there on Sunday! YEAAAAHHH! Quote
ezbass Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I want going to go but then Lee Sklar was announced, then Jack Bruce and now John Taylor; looks like my 1st Sunday in March is sorted, if only Paul Turner was playing Sunday too. Quote

[/quote] [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1391261051' post='2355068'] Just seen the email too [/quote] Rats, was intending on Saturday, this may throw a spanner in the works.......... Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Once again, if the BC Baton could be taken to the LBGS there might be some BC Relay photo opportunities, as well as handover opportunities. (But please don't ask me to take care of it as I'll be far too busy for that, I'm afraid.) Quote
NickD Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 This is getting daft now, I've swung back and forth between the Saturday and Sunday half a dozen times in the past week. It's really tough to choose! Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Only hope is to get a weekend ticket, as I did in - erm - August 2013. No point in deluding myself! So I would have been at the show even if I wasn't running the BC corner Quote
NickD Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 If only! There's no way I could get a wifey pass for both days. Might just have to toss a coin. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Take her to the show and us girls will convert her Edited February 2, 2014 by bluejay Quote
SpaceChick Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Just when I decide I definitely can't afford it, I hear John Taylor... My idol... Is on the Sunday Now really battling with myself! Quote
NickD Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1391350144' post='2356052'] Take her to the show and us girls will convert her [/quote] Lol, she'll be 8 and a half months pregnant with twins by then... you'd have your work cut out keeping her attention! Looks like I might be able to do both anyway now. Could anyone clue me in to the deal with tickets for the shows/masterclasses... how you go about getting tickets and cost, as I can't see much on the site. Also what's the deal with cameras, is it press only, or would a discreet Slr and a little prime be ok? Quote
Clarky72 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1375525652' post='2162477'] You don't get if you don't ask.... so I've just emailed BIlly Sheehan and John Taylor and asked them if they'd consider doing a clinic at the next show. Who knows if they'll see the message and reply. Worth an ask though eh? [/quote] I never heard back from JT, but he's now on the bill... Can't even begin to explain how happy this makes me. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Nick - cameras are fine (I'll be wielding one all the time!). Tickets info here: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/visit/buy-tickets/"]http://www.londonbas...it/buy-tickets/[/url] For a group discount, join Lozz's bunch here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228408-hertsbedsbucks-basschatters-london-bass-guitar-show/"]http://basschat.co.u...ss-guitar-show/[/url] Looking forward to seeing as many of you as humanly possible Edited February 4, 2014 by bluejay Quote
NickD Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks! I was referring to the live stage and masterclass tickets though, as the site is pretty vague. I understand you can't get them until you're in there, but does anyone have a rough idea of where from and how much? Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Last year they abandoned the idea at the last moment - you only needed to queue for the artist you wanted to see. This year might well be the same. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Also, performances and masterclasses are free as far as I know. They only had a paid show once (Steve Vai, IIRC) but that year the show was, to be honest, a bit crap and badly organised, and I'm happy they abandoned the idea. Quote
NickD Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Ah cool, that's why they're bring so vague about it then I guess. Cheers! Quote
timmo Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I read somewhere that you had to queue to get a free ticket on a first come basis. The tickets would be available 2 hours before each masterclass. The seating area seats something in the region of 450 people. Whether that will happen, i have no idea. Found it. Live Stage auditorium: Seating a maximum of 450 people, tickets for the Live Stage auditorium are available at the show only and are collected from the Bass Guitar Magazine stand. The tickets are first come first served, and will be available no more than 2 hours prior to each performance. Persons under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult [list] [*] Look under where you buy tickets, and the text is under the box [*] [/list] Edited February 4, 2014 by timmo Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Edit: sorry just read that small paragraph you point to (which wasn't there until a few days ago). In that case, I guess we'll have to get tickets, or they'll realise how idiotic that system is, and cancel it at the last moment again... [s]That was how they organised it two years ago and, initially, last year. Then, when I got there, I was told they were no longer handing out tickets and we only needed to queue in front of the auditorium (or masterclass room). I haven't heard anything regarding masterclass tickets this year. If you check the list of masterclasses/mini shows on their website, their blurb will invite you to "get tickets", but only link to the page selling the normal LBGS tickets, not tickets for the masterclasses.[/s] Edited February 4, 2014 by bluejay Quote
