bassbiscuits Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 [quote name='Si600' timestamp='1460058061' post='3022281'] We've exceeded the amp rig number for the event by 2, can we nicely sort out amongst ourselves which amps are coming? I know some are being brought along on request from other attendees and I'm bringing mine as a house rig for all to try. [/quote] I'm happy to limit myself to a small amp if it helps - I've recently got a Blackstar ID Core BEAM which is suitable for bass and electric guitar, so that might be a good bit of new kit to bring and for people to try out anyway.

Si600 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 As I said in the intro I'm happy to have any obscure or exotic amps, but we do need to keep a lid on the volume. The previous years everyone has been sensible with only a little interference by the noise police My rule is that if I can't have a conversation without shouting then someone is too loud.

tauzero Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was going to bring along an AE112 as well to A-B with IanA's CN112s but he's buggered off now so there's no point. Will try and bring a head that does headphones and some headphones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 As we've had a couple drop out I'll bring my Rumble combo as originally planned - and some headphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah your Rumble combo was great last year Norris. Sounded awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I just thought - would anybody like me to bring my Stagg EUB again? It's a bit of a pain to cart around so I'll happily leave it at home, but if there's enough interest I don't mind bringing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a pain to cart around so I'll happily leave it at home, but if there's enough interest I don't mind bringing it [/quote] I'd love to see it, Norris I don't remember it from last year, but I am just about to start on an own-design cello, loosely based on this yew/mahogany violin I did a couple of years ago - looks nice, plays like s**t - so would be very interested in terms of the weight, balance, etc... I know an upright bass is somewhat different to a cello, but the CofG issues, etc, are likely to be similar. If you're stuck for space, don't worry but if not I'd be really interested.

Andy [/quote] I'll definitely bring it then It was quite amusing last year to see people hovering round but not daring to have a go - although there were a few brave souls that tried it and had their GAS ignited Edit: And bring your violin - I'm interested in seeing any of your wonderful creations Edited April 15, 2016 by Norris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sharman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah, cheers for bringing the EUB last time Norris. I ended up buying one because of you. ...I think Mrs S would like a word with you Andy, I have the eastcoast (rebadged Stagg I think) EUB at my house if you ever want a try out on one.

Chris Sharman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Only had it a couple of months Andy, swapped the recently unused Mexican Jazz for it from Sunfish of this parish. You are welcome to get hands on with it if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba_the_gut Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) If you haven't been before, this is a relaxed opportunity to talk bass, try other folks gear and sample the exceedingly good cakes! And you will be in Leicester to sample the great atmosphere as they win the Premiere League!! (Sorry....)
