cris the man Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 [quote name='DangerDan' timestamp='1482243780' post='3198765'] I've never been to an event like this, so excuse me if it's a silly question, but, would basses be likely to come at a discount at something like this, or do people try stuff out and then just order it online cheaper when they get home? [/quote] I was at the Eden Amps stand and they were offering a few bits of kit at 'show price'. They were discounted but I can't speak for every stand. For me, its the fact that there is so much variety of high quality kit in the same room and being able to try most things out. I think that is the strength of the merchandising as opposed to the cheeky discounts. Quote
Fishman Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hi all New discount code from Peavey: [b]PEAVEY[/b] Cheers Fishman Quote
MacDaddy Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1484857194' post='3219222'] Same as last year? You, me and Si? I think aDx will also be joining us... [/quote] room for one more? Quote
ped Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Hi guys Just to say that the BASSCHAT discount code has been activated again until the day, so if you haven't got your ticket yet, use the code! Quote

[/quote] I am working with MSL again this year on the Markbass stand. There are going to be some VERY interesting "Show Days Only" offers (you'll be totally wasting your time trying to search for bettor pricing online!) made available by the various shops there who are MB dealers, so if you are considering Markbass or want to add to your rig, come and see us. ... be good to meet up even if you are not shopping for amps though!!

MoJoKe Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Oh, and a shed load of brand new gear to see! (The new Alain Caron K1 combo is absolutely the dogs b's if you want a modern, HiFi or slap sound. Its enormous for such a small package!) Quote
obbm Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I shall be there on the Sunday. if anyone needs any cables then I can bring them with me and save you the postage. Quote
TheGreek Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Tickets for Saturday booked, paid for and printed - many thanks to Ped & Co for the 20% discount - See you all there!!! Edited February 23, 2017 by TheGreek Quote
TRBboy Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Arrrggghhh! I've been looking for this thread for ages and only just found it! Looking forward to meeting any of you guys that are there, I'm going on Sunday. Weird question maybe, but is anyone taking a bass? Quote
police squad Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I'm going on saturday, I'll pop over and say hi to Ped. BTW I'll be trying stuff out using a plectrum!! Hopefully some of us will work out who we are!! Quote

You can grab a Basschat lanyard from us at the stand and write your name on a bit of card Quote
wmsheep Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Yay, just found out I won a couple of free tickets for sunday via the interwebs!!! Will pop into the BC stand for sure. Quote
Dood Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I will be there!! Expect my Instagram feed to have various pictures appearing too: [url="https://www.instagram.com/danveallbassist/"]@DanVeallBassist [/url] - Give me a follow. Quote
police squad Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) got my discounted tickets, thanks to BC. Now to try and book the train. (I've even had my haircut!!!) Luckily, I'm GAS free atm but might buy an Octave pedal Edited March 2, 2017 by police squad Quote
NickD Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) It's worth folks checking their journeys as the tube over that way is a little screwy this weekend. The Olympia link from Earl's Court is out, as is London Overground coming from the south towards Olympia. Edited March 2, 2017 by NickD Quote
police squad Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I checked the picadilly line from St Pancras to Barons court and it was ok yesterday. Get off at Barons Court and olympia is a 10 minute walk Quote
timmo Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1488470267' post='3249240'] I checked the picadilly line from St Pancras to Barons court and it was ok yesterday.

NickD Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Walking from Earl's Court and High St Kensington is no big problem either. There are plenty of buses head that way too, and that early in the morning at weekends it's not the usual horrible experience... usually pretty quiet, particularly the Sunday. Quote
timmo Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 [quote name='ped' timestamp='1488474208' post='3249293'] What's the best way from Kings Cross? [/quote]I am far from an expert, but I would imagine from Kings Cross, go to High Street Kensington, and walk straight down Kensington High Street. Takes about 10 minutes to walk, and you can`t get lost Quote
NickD Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Piccadilly to Green Park and Number 9 from there to Olympia, or Piccalilli to Earl's Court and walk up from there, and it looks like the District is running round to High Street Kensington and it's about a 15 min walk from there... or Uber... obviously. Quote
TheGreek Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Earls Court/ Kensington (Olympia) is about half way down on the left side of the map (green/white line) Edited March 2, 2017 by TheGreek Quote
Woodinblack Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Overground from Clapham junction is ok on Saturday, but closed on sunday, which is ok for me as I am going on saturday. On the other hand, no trains going between Basingstoke and london on saturday which is less good. Quote
obbm Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I have 2 free tickets for Sunday if anyone wants them. I bought my ticket for Sunday a few weeks ago but just for fun entered a competition and have just won two tickets. First come first served. Quote
wmsheep Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 There was I hoping for a nice relaxed day away from SWTSIBLT, when she texted me at work to say "Oh, there is "The Spring Knitting & Stitching Show" on at Olympia this weekend too - have just bought my tickets!!" Well there goes my evening of trawling the flesh pits of Soho , but it will be handy being able to share the driving home. Quote
