Staffordshire Bass Meet Up - 11/08

[pantherairsoft]

I'll bring my Canon 500d and film some stuff. Tom, if your other half has a spare tripod could she bring it? Saves me bringing one along (as I'll forget!).

[cheddatom]

I'll nick one, she'll never know!

[64k]

Woooohooo less than two weeks to go!

Lets get confirming guys!

[tauzero]

What's the actual address of cheddatom's studio?

[cheddatom]

The address is:

[font="arial"][size="2"]HILL TOP BUSINESS CENTRE, [/size][/font]
[font="arial"][size="2"]TALKE PITTS, ST7 1PW[/size] [/font]

[size="2"][font="arial"]You can find it from that post code on google, there's a map here: [/font][/size]http://rifffactory.co.uk/recordings.html

Depending on where you come from, I guess most of you would come down/up the A500, then take the A34 towards Congleton. It's a straight road until you get to a big crossroads with traffic lights. The A34 continues on to Congleton on the right, but you want to go left. It takes you up a hill, and when you're almost at the top of the hill (maybe half a mile from the cross roads) the business centre is on your left. It's a very tight turn to get in. Once you've turned in you go up a ramp, through some big blue gates, drive to the right hand side of the big main building and there's a smaller separate building - that's me. Anyway, I'll try and put some signs up or something to make it obvious.

Not long to go now.
Any more takers?

Or any 'possibles' turned into 'definites'?

I'll probably just be bringing my Ibanez now as the Fender is in for a set up.

[tayste_2000]

Well I'm a definate

[cheddatom]

I've invited all the local bassist I know, as it looks like there'll be plenty of room. I think 2 or 3 (who aren't on BC) may join us

[pantherairsoft]

Looking forward to it. MIM have added it their events list, I spoke with Jarman today and they can't wait. I can't wait to try his IR MIDI Bass!

[Bassman Sam]

Shep, are you bringing your Bareface Big Twin? I'd love to hear one of these.

[pantherairsoft]

I don't think it'll fit in the car dude. MIM are swinging by mine on the way, with the 3 of us plus basses etc. It's unlikely. If there is space then yes, I'll bring it along.

[Bassman Sam]

I'm going to have to pull out. My old Mum has had a bad fall today and has broken her nose. I off to Lincoln to visit her. Have a great day guys.

[cheddatom]

Sorry to hear that Sam, hope she's OK

[Ian Savage]

I'm out I'm afraid, got me little 'un!

[tayste_2000]

Quick question as my lift seems to have let me down, I've got this showing as about 2 miles from Kidsgrove train station does that seem about right?

Thinking I'll just train and taxi it around, it will mean I won't have the B-15 though, but can do a good few other toys

Just in case anyone gets lost, my number is 07967 088 317

Sorry, only just seen this. Kidsgrove is very close, can't find a Kidsgrove station though, longport station is 4 miles away

[pantherairsoft]

MIM should be with me within the hour then we'll head over from Nottingham. See you all later!

[64k]

Sorry guys, I'm not going to be able to make it, came back from Ibiza the other day and have felt terrible since, hope you all have a great time! I'm so gutted

[tauzero]

Afraid I haven't been able to make it either. Sorry about that.

[tayste_2000]

Good show Basschat.

However seeing Men Imitating Machines in a clinic style setting was mind expanding and well worth the day.

Definitely this.
It was good to see you all.
Many thanks to Tom for providing the venue.

[pantherairsoft]

Fun afternoon. Nice to see those who turned up (always good to hang out Ste!). That Wal was lovely!

[cheddatom]

Men Imitating Machines were amazing to see, definitely going to see them live in a couple of weeks. Also tayste's board is tayste!
