Happy Jack Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'll have my Zeller DB, Takamine TB10, and the Howlett Custom bass uke that Owen brought along last time. Rig-wise, I'll bring a Trace Elf through a Crazy 8, plus a GB Shuttle through a Crazy 88 - so far as I know, the only Crazy 88 in the UK.

Owen Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I will have my DB, NS5, Felix pre-amp, Bergantino IP310 + a Mackie SRM350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Would that be FRFR, by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I'm guessing nobody will be interested in a lefty NS Design NXT5, but if any of you are, let me know and I'll bring it.

Staggering on Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 This is starting to look like a really good day! I'll be there but my SLB200 will be sitting at home in Canada. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvis Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I was thinking 11am-5pm would allow plenty of time for us and our basses to get acquainted. I’ll chat to David, who’s giving us the run of his barn, and confirm during the week ahead. I’ll also post the address and info about parking. Bob suggested that anyone who’s thinking about buying or selling a bass should consider coming down, which seems like a great idea to me...

Owen Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Certainly a chance for anyone thinking of buying to come and mess with different instruments. There are SO many options even within strings that any shop can be extraordinarily daunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'll check with H&S whether the AC is OK ASAP. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvis Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Fellas, feel free to bring all the acronyms you care to, but they may need some explaining I've spoken to David, our host for the day, and he's looking forward to seeing us. There's nothing essential to tell you about parking - it'll be obvious enough when you arrive. The address is Waterloo Farm, Fringford OX27 8RH, and there's a screenshot of the entrance attached below so you'll know where you are... I'll make sure there's the makings of tea and coffee and some biscuits. I'm happy to sort out booze and food too, but it might be surplus to requirements. If you think it's a particularly good idea, feel free to send me a DM and we'll take it from there. By all means keep the chat coming here as well - it'd be good to keep this thread simmering in case it coaxes anyone undecided into coming down for the day. See y'all soon!

stingrayPete1977 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Is there anywhere nearby for food? I'm happy to do a butty run if people want on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Is anyone coming up from Brighton? If so, Toby Chennell who is building me this has said that he would be willing to release it into the wild for a weekend for me to mess with it while it is unfinished. He is stressing that we are still prototyping it and it is a work in progress. If there is no one then I will just have it couriered up to me.

NickA Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Still planning to come along. I'll bring my 1884 German DB, a Realist sound clamp and a PJB flightcase (for comparison with that AI Combo... which I so nearly bought instead). Got a nice carbon bow to show off too. ... just have to hope the wife's ancient and disreputable 18yr old SAAB can make the journey from Derby without something else falling off it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvis Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Thanks for all your posts. I've just caught up with your bass uke thread Owen, and it looks like we've got quite a treat in store. I reckon that strange and beautiful instrument will be worth the trip alone. Roger, I'd love to get acquainted with your Kolstein travel bass as well, if it's not too much hassle to bring it. Are there any gut string aficionados thinking of making the trip? A couple of months back I had a play for the first time on an old Kay strung with guts, and it's been on my mind ever since. Also, I'd love to see a Chadwick folding bass up close if anyone's willing and able... Thanks for the offer of a butty run Pete. The Butcher's Arms in Fringford does good honest pub grub, none of that gastric-pub nonsense, and the landlady Pat is a star. Looking forward to meeting y'all next weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvis Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yesterday I went to The Double Bass Room in Kent to meet Ben and his lovely basses. He gave me the loan of this one for a week or two, to see if we get along: https://thedoublebassroom.com/product/hungarian-1965-3-4/#.Ws86aGaZPOQ It's a bit hard to tell at the moment as it has manky old strings and a bridge and endpin that aren't fit for purpose, but I'll bring it along on Saturday and look forward to hearing what y'all reckon. I meant to mention as well, I've also got an Ear Trumpet Labs 'Nadine' mic that you might be curious to try out. On another note, thinking about local pubs and where you might get fed, this place is really nice... http://www.themuddyduckpub.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
