wateroftyne Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi all... the fifth NEBB is on the horizon! We're very informal compared to most bashes - we don't have demos, guest speakers, etc. It's literally a room of bass players checking out gear and talking nonsense. There's plenty of parking on-site. Hope to see some of you there... Quote
Kirky Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Nice one Michael, might have to make the effort in the absence of a Yorkshire one. Quote
Matt P Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I've already replied on the facebook post but i'll repeat it here, I'm coming along, will be bringing most of the kit in my signature below, If anyone has an Aguilar TH500 thant they could bring along then i'd be very interested to try it with the midgets. Don't forget that there is a lack of local shops to get food at so if you're coming for the whole thing you might want to pack some sandwiches, i'll bake something to share round though (cookies/muffins/brownies depending on my mood) Matt Quote
skelf Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 One of these years I will make this event. Down in London at a bass related event this year what were the chances of that. Bugger. Quote

skelf Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Due to something else mucking up going to London now looks as if I will be about that weekend. Quote
warwickhunt Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Goes without saying I'll be in attendance. Bringing a Warwick (or two), Sterling (or two), Bolin and Lightwave... just one of each; GK 1001 RB 2x10 combo. Quote
neepheid Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I should warn you that I'm thinking (just thinking, mind) about driving for 4-5 hours to filth up your gathering with Gibson basses. Seems an awful long way to go for 4.5 hours of bass geekery though. Be better to make a weekend of it. You guys do anything the night before - go to the pub or something? Quote
Huge Hands Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Gutted. I'm coming up to the homeland to see family the week before but will be leaving on the Friday (31st). I will probably have my latest exuberance with me (NS Design NXT5 EUB) to show off to my brother - would have liked to have brought that along and met some fellow geordie bass players! The Ginger Music Company would have been quite apt for a carrot top such as myself too! Hope it all goes well! Quote

jacko Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Hopefully should make this one. Visiting my folks in a fortnight so they'll be a bit surprised to see me so soon after but well worth it. Was there a few years ago and met some interesting folk. Quote
neepheid Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 So, who's up for a beer or three on the Saturday night? Show me your town, I've never been before! Any good bands on? Anyone here playing? Quote
Matt P Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I should be up for a beer/curry the night before. there are plenty of great places for both. i'd also be up for seeing a band as well! (i'm not playing that evevning but someone must be!) Matt Quote
skelf Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Should be able to make this now. If there is anything in the sale section on my website that anyone particularly wants to try please let me know since I will not be bringing every thing I have avilable. Quote

[/quote] The Graft basses look very tempting, G013, G036 and [size=4]G033Ü not that i'm in a position to buy at the moment, but it might prompt me to save up for one (although i think a 5 string standard recurve SC with a single humbucker would be more likely)[/size] [size=4]Matt[/size] Quote
neepheid Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 It's getting close to decision time, need to sort out my accommodation. Any other people feel like meeting up the evening before for a beer? Quote
Matt P Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 i'm afraid that i'm not going to be able to meet up on the saturday evening, i've been reminded that it's a friends birthday and we're going out for a curry with him. If people are meeting up then the Cumberland Arms in Byker/Ouseburn Valley would be a good idea as they are having a beer festival! Matt Quote
neepheid Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 It looks like no-one's able to go to the pub or whatever on the Saturday night. No matter, I'd still like to attend the bash, I've arranged to visit some friends near Edinburgh on the Sat night and kip over so it breaks up the journey a bit. I will bring as much of the black headstock club as I can manage, so I will have some or all of the following with me: 1979 RD Artist 1981 Victory Artist 2007 Les Paul Double Cut 2012 Epiphone Jack Casady 2012 Non Reverse Thunderbird 2013 Midtown Standard 2014 EB and my RedSub BT5110 1x10 combo. See you there Quote
skelf Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 All set for tomorrow van ready to load up sat nav programmed. Some bargains to be had should anyone feel the need to spend some cash or abuse the plastic. Quote
Diablo Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 How did I manage to miss this until today? I think I know where I'll be tomorrow lunchtime. Hopefully see you there, be good to try a couple of different cabs as I'm tempted to try a 2x12 with the PJB 500 head. Hmmm, which bass to bring..... Cheers, Rich Quote
Big_Stu Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Just a head's up that if you're after a show post-bash Cropper's in the area Sunday evening at Middlesbrough Town Hall with The Animals. It's not gone un-noticed that Scott on bass bears more than a passing resemblance to Duck Dunn, even down to now playing a Jazz rather than the Dusenberg he had earlier in the year. Quote
