[Jabba_the_gut]

I'll bring a GK MB200 and an Ashdown minicab. I'll bring 2 home made basses for comment and opinion!!!

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1399286337' post='2442696']
Great, thank you! Anyone coming by train and want to split a taxi from the station ?
[/quote]

Change of plan, I'm not coming by train anymore, so would like to bring an amp if that's ok? It's an Ashdown EB 180 combo.

[Annoying Twit]

I hope it wasn't me that kludged up the list. IIRC, after noticing that my status hadn't changed, I went back to the most recent version of the list posted here, and only changed my status. At least, I think I did.

[richardd]

Will be bringing My Lowdown LD150 plus Streamliner Rack Mount Kit .for sale ,And my 83 GL SB2 for you to demo, , See you all there

I actually found a 'Pennywise' assortment pack in a poundshop, I didn't think they still did them. So I'll throw them into the mix too along with my original offer to bring teabags/instant coffee/milk. I'm off to Asda tomorrow so if you're all really lucky you might get doughnuts as well. Looking like I'll have to leave early though as I have a wedding gig to do and they want us there setting up earlier than a normal pub would. Anyone looking for a mint condition US Fender P deluxe (active) bring your chequebook or a lot of cash

[Roland Rock]

Nice one Kev, thanks. I thought I had read that you were unable to make it - glad to see otherwise :-)

[Norris]

I'll stick my combo in the car but don't intend to bring it in unless we are short (unlikely!). Instead I will bring along my GT6-B multi-effects pedal and a pair of headphones. I'll also bring a pair of headphones that can plug straight into the EUB. Hopefully then you'll be able to hear what you're doing.

I've given the meeting a plug on the "Leicestershire Musicians" facebook group, which should hopefully pull a few more paying visitors in.

Will there be a supply of basschat merchandise in attendance? I wouldn't mind a polo shirt

[KevB]

I suspect the only way I'll cover both events is to have all my gigging gear in the car and go straight from one to the other. I'll assume the car park at the school is going to be fairly secure? car has tinted windows anyway so not easy to see what I've got in it. I can just bring in the P deluxe and leave the rest outside. Sounds like there will be more than enough rigs as it is.

You're a bad boy Kev. Lucky for my bank balance that I've got one already. They're great instruments.

[KevB]

Come on Len, you regularly gigging types always need a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228759-usa-fender-deluxe-precision/page__p__2420827__hl__precision%20deluxe%20usa__fromsearch__1#entry2420827"]backup[/url] right?

[Donnyboy]

Just to let folks know that the Relay bass has been delivered to Si600 in good time for Saturdays Bash

[the hand of john curley]

Thanks for adding me to the list! I only live 2 mins from Brockington college.....or 'brocko' as the yokels call it! So if anyone is worried about leaving stuff in cars then you're welcome to drop it at mine and collect it on the way back.....

[bassbiscuits]

Hi sorry to spoil the list - but I was hoping to come by as well at least for a short while.

I'm in Leicester too but on babysitting duties from about 2.30 - will pop by early doors tho!

I haven't got anything rare or mega cool to bring along other than my 1969/70 p bass which I've just got back to full strength after a few tweaks and adjustments. Or I can just bring myself and say hello.

See you there hopefully
