[silverfoxnik]

Sounds really good Paul !

Not sure if Lozz s attending this year though, so you may need another willing volunteer to do the playing.

[WalMan]

I'll start the raffle rolling with the EHX Mini Qtron I won a couple of years ago but have never found a use for

[silverfoxnik]

Cheers Al ☺

Will start a list today....

I don't think I've ever seen the expression "Enjoy Huddersfield" before. 

Basschat breaking new ground, as ever. I'm looking forward to spending some quality time in the banjo shop. And I believe they also stock accordions!

You should really be blindfolded too, to reduce unconcious bias......how recognisable that will make the bass riffs is unclear 😆

If anyone would like to submit their basses to the 12.30pm Blind Lemon Rooster Tone Test, could you just shoot me a PM before the 29th as I need to prepare sheets for people to put Xs in boxes.  Please bring a guitar stand.

Ideally, I'd like to limit this to ten or twelve basses, otherwise it might drag; I don't feel we need to duplicate basses...for instance, there's no need to blind test five Fender Jazz basses, so one will do, but it would be fun to have a Sire P and J as well.  Let me know what you have and what you're happy for <insert basschat member's name here> to dent play on the day.

In my head I figure it would be useful to play a four short pieces on each bass with everything full on/open, fingers/pick, clean and then with a bit of dirt (GED2112).  Maybe two or three minutes per bass tops.  Vote and move along.  We can mark each others papers when we're done.

What are you looking for? Apart from my Spectors, the most "normal" bass I have is an Overwater Custom Jazz. Happy to bring along something a bit different.

Might be useful to have a Gear for Sale list too.

Anyone planning on bringing anything to sell?

Yes Nik, a bass and some other bits.

[ezbass]

I’m thinking of having one of my basses for sale.

Yep me too; a Schecter 5 String Diamond P bass, a Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 amp and an rack eq unit...

Time to start another list !

[NancyJohnson]

OK, just an update on the bass shootout, confirmed I have:
Gibson Thundrbird IV
Rickenbacker 4003
Spector NS2
Epiphone Thunderbird (one of the new ones)
Mike Lull JAXT4

I have a provisional nod from a mate who is attending (who doesn't post here) that he'll make a Fender Precision, a Fender Jazz and a Sire of some sort available.  I'll bring along some other stuff.  It would be nice to have a couple of Warwicks, a Stingray, a Wal perhaps.

Yup. A load of pedals - EBS Compressor, Chorus & Octave, Dr Green Bass reverb & Joyo D-Seed echo and a small Pedaltrain board & bag (Mini I think)

One Wal from me, ready and willing! Or two, if you fancy... (1985 Mk 1 Custom + 1979 Pro IIE)

 

...and an Aria SB (700 not 1000) but still an 80s classic.

Thank you Nik and Paul! I will create and share the PDF asap. Anyone bringing a guitar for the jam room?

I could bring along a HB Tele which Gary Mac modded for me with a Bigsby. I've only used it for about an hour - I'd be happy to get the opinions of other on it.

[prowla]

I might bring my wallet.

SB700 = nice bass!

[Andyjr1515]

Not absolutely certain yet, but there is a fighting chance I will be able to make this now!  I should know for certain in the next day or so
