WalMan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) ... but isn't that why we have the Hall, Reception, the Jam room, and the theatre? The:[list] [*]Hall is for noisy [*]Jam room for jamming [*]Theatre for talks; and [*]Reception for quiet contemplation in the long hours of the raffle Actually that went much better this year with fewer & bigger and the Tombola that sadly failed to materialise due to time constraints. [/list] Noise in the hall really didn't bother me. Then again I didn't unload the car, as there was plenty of BF & GB in attendance without mine being added, and spent most of my time in the other three rooms EDIT: this has probably been superceded while I typed Edited September 24, 2013 by WalMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Still on my hard disk, slowly being whittled down to a manageable number. Nearly there I'll put some in my still-to-be-written blog and all the remaining good ones in a big album on Flickr. Bear with me for a few more days.

Urban Bassman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 ATTENTION - Status owners who brought their basses to the Bass Bass. As a former Status owner (Status S2 5er headed 1993) and hope to be an owner of a Status again I was very pleased and not a little envious of all the lovely Statii on show last Saturday. One in particular caught my attention but I cannot now remember who the owner was. The bass was an all carbon fibre example, 5 string headed and it had a Maple(?) capped body and binding. The owner of this wonderful instrument let me have a go on it and it was fabulous. The thing is I don't seem to be able to find a similar instrument on the Status web site or the Statii owners web site. So could the owner of the gorgeous instrument please get in contact and tell me what model it is and hopefully send me a photo or two so that I have an example of the bass for future reference, 'cos I want one... Here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Bassman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 That's it, the dark amber coloured one. Lovely. " I'll try to take some better ones and post in the Gear Porn section with some info on the specifications." - yes please. Is that wood cap a custom order? Thanks Rich.

I have an almost identical spec S1 (fretless, 5, 5-knob pre, but ebonol fingerboard) in a different colour. Would have been nice to A/B the two of them.

51m0n Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Cant remember who but I had a chat with someone at the bash about replacing the valve in an LH500, and what I'd used on Plux's. It generally tidied up the rather harsh top end and sounds all round a tad tighter in the bootom end too. Anyway it was [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=1423"]one of these Harma Cryo / ECC83-STR/HARMA CRYO [/url]from Watford Valves. Worked a treat too, instantly noticeable difference. Recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think they`re the ones Burrito put in his Orange Terror to tame it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I'm nearly there with the Bash blog, but I need a little help. If anyone has a photo of Urb giving his talk, and wouldn't mind me publishing it in the blog together with the ones I took of the other talks (with full acknowledgement obviously), I would be very grateful if you could email/PM it to me Also, what was/were the name(s) of the new Markbass effects Bryn was presenting? I had to rush in and out of his talk and didn't memorise any details Thank you all for your patience and support! I will also create a Flickr album with quite a lot of good photos that I couldn't possibly add to my already rather long blog.

silverfoxnik Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi Silvie I've got a couple of photos of Urb's workshop.. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. Bryn was demoing the new Markbass Multi Amp..but I'm not sure what else he was demoing. I'll contact him to find out.. Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 OK, I think it's time to stop fiddling with the blog and just publish it. Here it is: [url="http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-94"]http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-94[/url] As always, it can be edited at any time, which means you guys are more than welcome to point out any errors and/or omissions, including your names and your rigs/pedalboards/instruments! Just let me know and I'll add what's missing or amend what's wrong. I have more photos than I can fit in the blog - I'll create a Flickr album with the spares, and post the link here, when it's ready. Thank you all for your patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
