We've got your NYXL bass string on our Chowny NT-J prototype that we will have at the show too - if that's of interest.

It's shaping up to be an exciting weekend, I'll have to pop by the Chowny booth and have a noodle. I look forward to seeing you all there, just keep an eye out for the man with a huge beard wearing a D'Addario T-Shirt!

Elaine & I will be on hand to answer any D'Addario related enquiries. Come and see us on stand D12 to try out NYXL Bass.

This makes me very happy! See you both there!

I'll be there on the Sunday. If anyone wants any cables I can bring them with me and you can save on the postage

In case people didn't know, he's a Watford lad (or around that area anyway) and Slipknot are one of the biggest (American) metal bands in the world

He's also the guitar/amp tech at Titan Studios Watford too I think. Pretty sure he serviced my amp.

Did anyone else read these two posts and think ... WTF?

The bass player for "one of the biggest metal bands in the world" is also "the guitar/amp tech" at a shop in Watford?

This is the same studio where Robert Trujillo is a shop assistant, right?

It suprised me.

Not being particularly familiar with Slipknot I didn't realise at the time. When I first inquired the guy asked if it was an urgent job as his tech was on tour for a couple of weeks with his band... never realised it was with a big band.

[TheGreek]

Would love to see Michael League at the show!!!

[Happy Jack]

Is he a guitar tech?

[Sibob]

Yeah, Michael League, Pino, Richard Bona, Esperanza Spalding, Bobby Vega. Lots of amazing players to work through, lets hope the show continues for many years to fit them all in

Si

Yeah, I thought Michael League would be realistic as he will be actually touring the UK at the time and having the weekend off

BTW, I'm going to his (well, Bill Laurance's) gig at Ronnie's on Monday after LBGS, anyone else?

looks like you're right - it was clearly stated that he was when I was buying my tickets (few months ago, admittedly) and I new saw it explicitly denied otherwise, but pics from Bill's last night gig show another bassist. Not a complaint, I'm still a big fan of Bill's music. Sorry for derailing the thread then!

Just got my tickets for the Saturday, look forward to seeing you guys there!

I see my namesake, Adam Ben Ezra, has been added to the main stage for Sunday. If only I shared his talent too

[Lozz196]

Ticket booked for the Saturday, hopefully get to meet up with a few Basschatters.

[keefbaker]

I'll be there in the morning running round like a blue arsed fly trying to buy a fretless.

[timmo]

At this point, I am really looking forward to seeing the Manne stand. Won`t be able to buy one, but they look fantastic from the website.

[iamtheelvy]

Anyone playing any gigs up in town that weekend?

[Merton]

Will book my Saturday ticket later tonight. I'll only be popping in for a couple of hours as I'll have my son with me and he wants to go drum shopping.... I've almost taught him well

Hey Guys! I'm going to be at the London Bass Guitar Show next Saturday 12th if anyone is interested in trying out any of the two basses for selling. See you around. Best! Cisco

[beany2510]
