TheGreek Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I use it as an excuse to meet up with other BCers, check out the masterclasses and seminars while having a look at what's available. I think the most expensive thing I've ever bought at one of these is lunch. Just a great day out with like minded people really. Edited December 5, 2015 by TheGreek Quote
The-Ox Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 think I'll tag along cheers! Another stupid question, do people usually bring their own basses? Quote
MrCrane Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 A lot of it is walking around checking out the gear, but there are also masterclasses and performances to watch, Some people do bring their own basses, but I think that's really only worth it if you want to check out amps/pedals etc with your specific kit.

deepbass5 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Schack basses are there this year so I will make the effort, and bring my Wad Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Aw thanks! I'm at the show every year, wearing my lanyard with my name, so anyone who spots me walking around and would like to say hi, absolutely feel free to do it! If you don't mind being photographed you may even end up in That Blog. Edited December 7, 2015 by bluejay Quote
deepbass5 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) And a fine job you do too, in making us all welcome and part of the basschat family Edited December 7, 2015 by deepbass5 Quote

Another stupid question, do people usually bring their own basses? [/quote] I took mine last year as I wanted to check out some Vanderkley gear with my own bass... Unfortunately this was a mistake as I then had a gigbag on the journey down to Olympia. Everyone could see I was going to the bass show and therefore felt the need to fire up a conversation with me on the tube about it. I guess for ordinary people this wouldn't be a problem, but as I hate interacting with other people and generally pretend I don't speak English when approached on public transport, it put a downer on the whole day...

Anyway enough of the de-rail... My only advice for those attending next year is don't have a Sunday Roast at the pub around the corner...
