PTB Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'll be there Saturday morning. Looking forward to catching up with folk. I don't think this aligns with any of the performances I'd like to see but never mind....... The only gear I need is a cab so I'll be interested in what's new. Not sure about taking it home on the train though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Lol not through gritted teeth at all! We're looking forward to it - yup there will be a B-Social there(sadly it will be a pre production one but it won't be too different to what the final production model will be) plus the new ABM EVO 4, Retroglide head and a few other new shiny bits ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Hi All, This will be my first year, i would love to spend i shed load of money but the wife may have other ideas, i think she got two tickets to keep an eye on me. However i am really looking forward to seeing just bass everywhere will be great. Will be so much great gear brought to us by people that care for bass and not just unpack it and put it on the wall. See you there Rob Edited March 4, 2015 by big rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sharman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The wonderful Mrs S and I are going down to the show on saturday evening to attend on the Sunday. Since we have a seven seater with only two of us in it we are offering transportation to and from the Derby area. We would be leaving Long Eaton at about half five on Saturday afternoon and could swing by either Derby or Nottingham en route. We would be staying for most, if not all of the show before travelling back. No charge, but if anyone did wish to make a slight consideration towards the fuel that is entirely up to them. Any interest message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm helping out on the MarkBass stand again all weekend, do come and say hi.... I'll have my JO5/J-retro with me, and while still work in progress, I might be persuaded to bring my project Jazz 5 fretless if anyone wants to see it....

BassAgent Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Bass and clean underwear are packed, alarm set at 5 am, I'm off to London tomorrow! I've booked a day off in London to visit some of my fav spots ánd see Denmark Street for the first time I think I have some time for a cup of coffee during the day. Hit me up with a PM if anyone's interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi all - nearly set for the off tomorrow - we will have a good selection of basses and some new toys :-) Lots of great deals this weekend on various items. Bring your earplugs - although we are all headphones again this year :-D PS - If there is a specific bass you want to try please let me know as we are limited on space!

mr.noisy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hey guys, anyone have any parking experience from previous shows? I am coming on saturday and wondering if there is anywhere to park because it is usually a problem in London, and the Olympia parking charges are expensive!

Sibob Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I went on the Sunday I think last year, and managed to park on a side street pretty much opposite the entrance for free, perhaps a 2 min walk. Saturday, not so sure though, I imagine the restrictions/costs will be substantial. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.noisy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Olympia centre parking quoted me £30 for parking and thats only one day! I think I will give it a try. I have seen parking restrictions only from monday until friday in London, so hopefully will find some side street with space too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBass3901 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've opted to get the train from Twickenham as parking for the day there is £4 and the train fare will be about £14 for my girlfriend and I...much better than trying to deal with the Olympia parking area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.noisy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I could take a train too as I am living really close, but I am planning to check some amps and combos and maybe get one if the price will be right, and don't want to deal with dragging the gear through the public transport. So is there anyone else that parked in a side streets but on saturday and can confirm that there are no parking restrictions during the weekend?

Silvia Bluejay Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'll be walking around with a BC lanyard around my neck, two cameras hanging from my shoulders and a tablet in my hand. I'll be visiting all the stands and trying to catch as many live shows and masterclasses as possible. Everybody please do feel free to stop me and say hi, and pose for my cameras - I want to take pics of absolutely everything and everybody, and then inflict them all on you guys through my usual blog!
