Dood Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1457508201' post='2999101'] Been honing my slap technique in preparation for the weekend....

EBS_freak Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Just found out that I can't go... but I will be most disappointed if every BC member doesn't post a picture of themselves with Dave Swift to Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Just found out that on the Sunday there will be a 'replacement bus service' from Walton on Thames (where I'll be staying) to Charing Cross (where I have to change for Olympia). Oh Joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcordez Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi all. I'll be there working 'Upright Bass Zone' for Bass Guitar magazine. They have 10-12 double basses there, and I'm there (presumably) to help and show some techniques etc to get started etc. Basically, an excuse for a hang. Those inclined, do come and say hello. Hopefully we may be able to talk over the wail of slap bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The eticket thing is confusing me a bit, there's an attachment to download, but nothing seems to open it. The email itself has the barcode and details... can anyone (LBGS) tell me if the printed email is valid for entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I did it just now - it popped up and I printed it...but I didn't get an email or any receipt. There was an option for ticket or mobile earlier in the process - which did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yes, got me too, I thought about it....but I went Luddite and opted for the eticket..hoping I could print. Didn't get any email or receipt, which I find a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I emailed their customer support and they sent me a ticket via a link inserted in an email. I was able to open and print that. They responded same day.

Sibob Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Odd, I purchased the eTicket and it downloaded and printed with no issues at all. That was a week or 10 days ago now though. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I can only go for Saturday morning, but would really enjoy it I think. Mostly aiming to meet Sander DeGier in person, since he made me such a lovely bass (and possibly ask him where I can source more R.Cocco Nickels, they're the absolute tits). Would be keen to check a few bass exhibits and say hi to some BCers too. Is it worth coming if just for half a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I would guess it depends on whether you are interested in seeing the performers. You could probably do all the stalls easily in 90 minutes, and that is taking a reasonable amount of time on each stand you are interested in.

SmoothHoundChris Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'll be looking out for basschat lanyards on our stand C16. We don't have Smooth Hound lanyards but we do have Smooth Hound T-shirts My pal Jay-Tee Teterissa is coming over from Holland to play his Marleaux bass through some big EBS rig on our stand. Nice. Please do come and say hello. It'd be great to put some faces to some (user)names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chownybass Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think we're neighbours Chris - I'm in D8c. Pop over and say Hi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothHoundChris Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi Chownybass, looking forward to meeting you. We had D8b booked but had such a good show in Birmingham last week we've been able to move a bigger stand with a bit more room for Jay-Tee Teterissa to ... I don't know ... groove his funk or whatever he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjimbob Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Gutted I can't go to this! Especially as there's a Warwick stand this year. I'd like to take my Infinity along to it and ask them why I got quoted 4k for a neck repair (that's a different story though). All jokes aside, I believe my friend Mr Bill Banwell (Warwick endorsee) is at the Warwick booth on the Sunday so pop along and check him out. Man has some serious skills. Everyone have a good time!

MoJoKe Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm on my way up to London today to setup the MSL stand if anybody needs a lift home on Sunday to the West Country I'm happy to come off anywhere on the m3/303... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
