Double Bass Bash Derby Oct 2nd

[TPJ]

I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the bash now. I've had some family stuff come up that I need to be involved with. Sorry everyone, I was hoping to catch up with a few friends as well as meet new ones. I don't mind still contributing to the bash costs and can send the entrance fee to whomever. I'll also take a shot of my bow thing tonight and post to pic on here so you can see it in all it's completity

[neilp]

Just for info, I'm happy to do French bowing properly at the next Bash, assuming there is one, and if anyone in the South East is interested in a leg-up into the Classical world I've just started a DB self-help group based in Horsham. The intention is to meet once a month and do some ensemble playing, work on tuning, blend and balance and have some fun, make the walls shake a bit. There's currently ten players signed up, all levels, more are welcome, no real limit to numbers. PM me if you're interested

Have fun on Sunday, sorry I won't be there

[AndyBass]

Hi, I'm afraid I'm likely to have to bow out as my little girl is going through a bit of a "Damian" phase. Sorry all - many thanks to those putting this together because I think these sessions are a great idea, even if I've yet to make it to one. As per the above if anyone wants to try out any of my gear (all left handed so I don't expect many takers!!) they're welcome to swing by Sheffield some time and do so. Have a great bash

[Mr Bassman]

Looks like I can make it.
Not sure what to bring, anyone interested in Yamaha Silent Bass SLB100, Clifton EUB, Eminence R/N
I'll bring sound post setting tool, some Acoustic Image electrickery, some pickups and the Rob Allen Mouse (as requested)

[bassace]

Keith, have you still got that gizmo that looks inside the bass body? I may have a bass bar 'issue' in my EUB.

We're finally holed up in a B&B in Shardlow, by the canal, after a drive up from London in dreadful weather. See you all tomorrow!

As promised, as I can't attend the bash, a pic or two of my bow holder.

Those of you who are very astute will notice it looks remarkably like a curtain rod holder with the end bent over which you slide over your front pocket so the bow hangs to your side.

I'll also be bringing an Eminence EUB and,if I can fit it in the car, our guitarist's double bass that he's left with me while he moves house. No idea what it is.

It's a 3 hour trip, so I probably won't get there til 11.

[stingrayPete1977]

Cool have a safe trip :-)

I'm having an after gig mcfilth not far that from Bluejay's b&b, I bet she is tucked up in the warm rather than sitting in a cold van eating questionable burgers? Lol.

See you all tomorrow!

[Silvia Bluejay]

I was! We went to see a one-man cover band at a pub nearby but we got back reasonably early - we were very tired. Hope your gig was good. See you in a short while. Edited October 2, 2016 by bluejay

[Silvia Bluejay]

By the way, where were you playing? We couldn't find any decent gigs advertised anywhere within 10 miles of Derby. If we'd known you were playing nearby we'd have come to see you instead!

[stingrayPete1977]

We were probably a bit far away anyway in Mere Green near Sutton Coldfield, but I had to come back home via Lichfield and I'd actually been to Burton to do my proper job all day yesterday so I might be a bit tired today!

Right I'm setting off!
