Now that I'm down to a lowly 2 basses, it's got a good shot of making it!

Pity again! Hopefully catch up before the LBGS.

Yes, that would be great xx

[Lozz196]

Gigging that evening, have to be at venue at 5pm for soundcheck so won`t be able to make it, bah

[NancyJohnson]

I'm gigging in Chatham that night, but will be there for a catchup as my gear will be enroute to Kent.

A roughly ' only one month to go' kind of BUMP! 😊

[silverfoxnik]

Here's a quick reminder of what's going on at the Bash next month:

12.00: Talk by Lee from Andertons Music Co.

13.30: Davey Rimmer, Uriah Heep bassist

So;

[b]Andertons[/b]:
According to Lee, he said he 'would love to come and meet us Basschatters and talk all things bass... what we want from a bass shop, what their plans are etc.... :-)' 👍

Sounds pretty good to me!

[b]Davey Rimmer, Workshop[/b]
With a bit of help from Gary, a.k.a. cetera, I'm really pleased to say that Davey Rimmer (bassist for Uriah Heep) has offered to give a 45 minute presentation on his career; gear choices, life on the road, Uriah Heep, Trevor Bolder etc. And, if we ask him nicely, he may demonstrate a few tunes for us! 👏


[b]Ian Robinson, luthier[/b]
Ian has kindly offered to come along again this year and do set ups and other techy stuff on the day.

In order to make it worthwhile for Ian to come up for the day from the south coast for the day, it'd be good if he had an idea of any work that anyone might need. So, if there's anything that you need done on a bass, guitar, mandolin etc, please could you post up a request here so Ian knows what kit to bring up with him. Thanks! 😊


[b]Other stuff[/b]
It would still be good to have another talk if anyone fancies stepping in with a half hour on a topic of interest? For example, a valve Vs solid state shootout, a workshop on fretless bass, or music theory??

If you've any ideas, please PM me.

There will be all the usual other stuff going on of course, [b]The Jam Room[/b], [b]For Sale area[/b] in the Foyer, the big [b]Hall[/b] where you can set up all of you gear and basses, etc, etc and of course the [b] Refreshments Area[/b] ☕🍩 in the Foyer brilliantly arranged and managed by 🌠 Mrs Hamster! 🌠

So, thanks for looking and we look forward to seeing you next month! 😊

Nik

[Silvia Bluejay]

I've posted your update on the Facebook event! Let's see if that spreads the word a bit farther

If Ian would be up for replacing a set of friction tuners on a 1920's 5 string banjo with some geared tuners that would be awesome. I have the banjo and the replacement parts. He'll need a violin reamer and a 9.5mm (3/8") drill.

[Happy Jack]

And is he any good at dealing with rust on a Mercedes Vito.

I'm happy to supply the body filler.

Hi Pete

Ian said:

"Strange request for a bass day :-) but yes certainly. If it's just fitting it will be around £20-25. Extra to string and set up to play."

Shall I let him know you'll be there avec le Banjo?

Would it be worth approaching the guys at Status about a talk? History of the company, use of graphite vs wood, notable players - that sort of thing?

Great idea!

Does anyone have any direct links to them, Rob in particular?

Yes please, and in the meantime I'll try and get the old 5th string peg out. No need for strings and setup. Thanks for your help Nik.

[silverfoxnik]

No problem, Pete!

[/quote]Email Status or ring. I believe Rob often responds direct and if not the person who answers is v helpful (can't remember her name but helped with sorting out the right pasrt for the S1)

It used to be Dawn Green ...

[Merton]

I can ring them on Monday if it helps?

Is anyone bringing a Maruszczyk please? I'd like to see what the fuss is about!

Looking forward to it!
