Mottlefeeder Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Just to echo all the comments above, I had a great day, and I'm very grateful to Chris and Kevin for setting it up. It was interesting to try / hear things I had only read about, but nice that I came away without feeling that anything there would make a significant difference to my bass playing. When first I arrived, I walked into the main bar area, and the bar-person and security person conferred and told me that there was no bass-players' event on that day. Fortunately, I stuck around and eventually found another entrance with a B/chat notice on it. For anyone who sets up another bass bash, may I suggest that a contact mobile number is PM'd to all delegates for use in emergencies.

MisterT Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Kev - your grey Spector is now giving me cheap ebay GAS! Chris - your ridiculously low action is making me look at my allen keys. Josie - that Aerodyne is really lovely. Vinnie - daisy pink was awesome & ta for the BB1X demo. I nearly brought the wallet out for your spare! Everyone with a Barefaced - they're nicely loud! No trouble cutting through the mix with those I expect. Not wanting to single anyone out for playability but I kept meaning to chat to this chap playing here... I did like your style of bluesy funk.

JellyKnees Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I arrived slightly late (and slightly hungover), started setting up and realised that I had forgotten my kettle lead... thankfully Kev was able to lend me one, so a big thanks for that fella... It was a fun couple of hours, and was nice to put a few faces to names. I enjoyed seeing what people had, and came away with a newly acquired interest in rubber thanks to Mottlefeeder and his ukelele bass. I think I may have accidentally infected a few people with Dingwall GAS, so apologies to all those affected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zootchaser Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi All, Apologies for not leaving a post earlier - I'm not into this "posting" thing but that no excuse for not recording a really big thank you to the organisers. It's nearly always a thankless task organising events but judging by the posts I think that this time your efforts were well and truly appreciated. Thanks also to everyone who let me play their basses, I enjoyed the opportunity to get my hands on basses I'd only ever read about - thanks again everyone. Final thought - I'm really glad I didn't suffer a large bump on the head and missing bass 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, whatever one works out cheaper. Edited February 13, 2017 by Bassman Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
