seashell Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Anyone bringing an EUB? I was very impressed by Norris's at the Midlands Bash. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1397667520' post='2426302'] This sounds fun. I'd love to include my humble MIM Fender P in the test. I've heard it played by KevB through his rig and it definitely sounded a lot better than when I play it! It would be fun to discover if people can tell it's 'just' a MIM. [/quote] It's not me, it's the rig honest I looked at my diary and I've booked the week off the day after this bash as I'm going up to the lakes for part of it. And I own 2 P basses. Must...resist...must...resist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) A couple of EU players have asked about bringing their's - I think that Jake Newman is coming and I'm sure will be happy to share some of his knowledge with anybody with any questions...I think that Slap It Hard is also coming....

pete.young Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I was thinking about this, but my band has just been confirmed for Ipswich Music Day which is also on the 6th July, so have a nice time and see some of you at the SE bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I don't suppose anyone is bringing a 3Leaf Audio Enabler that I can borrow for the day? I'm using mine on the FX stand, but would be cool to have two on the go Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hertsbass Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Sorry Sibob, can't help you on the pedal. Mick, is there a thread asking people to log their fender p's for the blind test? I saw it earlier but lost it while I was checking my specs. I think the test is a great idea. Can you post a link on this thread if it's still running? Lozz, have just bought your old p-bass from Freddy thru BC, would be interesting to see what you think of its recent cosmetic surgery!

Jonnyboy Rotten Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 What time are you thinking of kicking off the Blind P Test? I would love to bring along my P and get involved but I can probably only get there for 2pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm in. Can I bring Mrs G? Maybe I can let her off in the nearby fields as well? I can also bring my Gear4Music LA P-bass for the test. I also have 2 Wick Streamers; fretless and fretted, and a Wishbass if anyone's interested? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 You're welcome to bring along Mrs G who you can wander around Hatfield town centre and look at the wide selection of [size=1][s]crappy[/s][/size] charity shops, banks and food shops Hatfield has to offer. Alternatively there is The Galleria but there is a chance she might spend some money there...keep hold of the Credit Cards!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If I am bringing my P bass (my bitsa/self build) I assume that I will need to bring my own amp so people can try it out if they want? I also assume Lozz won't need to use my amp for the blind test part as the bass will be put through the same rig as everyone elses? These may be stupid questions but I never been to a meet before like..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Everything will be played under the same conditions - through the same amp, same settings, same riffs...that way we'll see how good everybody's ear is. There should be several amps available for people to try each others gear - only suggestion might be to bring a stand and a lead as well. As you're in Hemel too were you planning on coming over with Lozz?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm actually in Chesham. But no-one knows where that is so I say '[i]High Wycombe/Hemel Hempstead area'[/i] so people know roughly where I'm from etc I have church in the morning and I can't skip it as I am playing bass that morning - hence why I don't think I will get there until 2pm. We finish about 12.30 and if I pack down straight away I should be out the door by 12.50 and it is about 40-50 mins drive to Hatfield. So I won't need to get a lift with Lozz as I suspect he will be going before me but if he needs a lift a might be able to squeeze him in depending on what he is planning to bring (I only got a silly little fiat punto).

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Excellent, Steve, long time no see! And yes, Shell can definitely play bass Potentially stupid question: I don't remember seeing guitars and drums/drummer(s) being mentioned among - respectively - the gear and the attendees lists. What's the plan on that front? I'm going to be there.
