such Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 https://www.facebook.com/marcin.bass/media_set?set=a.10205850993892066.1073741830.1174473192&type=3 I'll be there both days and taking slightly fewer pictures, compared to Bluejay It will be my fifth one, I think. Always good fun. Quote
seashell Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I'll be there. both days this time. It's easy to avoid any excessive slapping in the main hall by going to all the amazing performances and master classes. Which is what I intend to do, as usual. :-) Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I`ve got a gig-free wkend then at the moment, so hopefully should be able to make it. Quote
nbtone Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I'm planning to exhibit, and I've never attended before. Nervous too! I'll be making the trip from the US, so there are issues with getting help for the show, a suitable amp and bass(es), lodging and air transportation, etc. Quote
Merton Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Tell us the sort of amp and bass(es) you're after and I'm sure we could help out. Or speak to one of the stores which is exhibiting and see if they can help out? Quote
nbtone Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I like a Gallien Krueger RB 700 II or a Fender, and any type of bass will do. I tried both the 100 watt tube amp and the Rumble 500. Fender or Gibson basses possibly. Active or passive. I'll provide strings. I've sent an inquiry to the proper people for registering for the event, but they seem to have forgotten about me. I asked for help with backline equipment, local hotels, tax questions, etc., which may have turned them off. I just hope I can get them to rent me some space for our exhibit. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 They seem to have a brand new website that's not working very well - in previous years there was a contact page with emails etc. I'll see if I can put you in touch with someone. Quote
nbtone Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks! They've gotten back to me. I'll be making all the arrangements early this coming week. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Excellent! I'll certainly see you there Quote
Bobthedog Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Well I have received the eMail for tickets and my wife tells me the dates may coincide with us being abroad next year! Quote
rungles Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yes! Already looking forward to this. Taking my Everson with me to see if I can get a pic with Paul. Makes no difference to me who is performing - it's a cracking day out regardless, assuming I can get the ankle tag off for a few hours. Quote
Bassman Sam Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I've got a weekend pass from my wife so I'm going. She's even booking me a hotel for the Saturday night. I'm looking forward to the show. Quote

BassAgent Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I hope I can make it again this year, it was a blast to be there ánd to be back in London again. I love that city. And last year was pretty darn awesome. I do hope I can get a more decent place to sleep though. The hostel was fine but I was in a room with 6 snoring Japanese guys. So if anyone has a spare bed... Edited November 16, 2015 by BassAgent Quote
such Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I might if I manage to find a place before the time! Right now unfortunately, no spare sleep spaces. I took the photo above, might have been your phone or Paul's. Quote
BassAgent Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 That would be great! It was Paul's phone BTW Quote
nbtone Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I'm still trying to find a way to get a ce certification for my preamps, before I will submit my exhibitor's application. Then there is the matter of 2 million GBP of insurance for two days. May have to wait another year. I hope not! Quote

nbtone Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks, and I really need to find a way to defend myself and the preamp after the Bass Player review fiasco that is going on in this month's issue. Quote

disgrace of bass Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Booked the Saturday show in my diary! Will there be a BC 'official' presence? Or get together? Quote
The-Ox Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 forgive my ignorance, but what usually goes on at these shows? Is it just walking round different stalls, seeing exhibitions going on etc? Sounds good! Quote
