Starvolt Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Right, anyone offering lifts from the station? Me + 1 Ta very muchly ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 like i say, if you can't get a lift, i'll probably be around there anyway, message me if you want my number and i'll get you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 So i just got off the phone with the manager of the grosvenor, she wanted £5 a head for food, and since i have no guarantee of numbers, i thought i'd better not risk it, sorry guys! She also scared me, said she had booked it for someone else, but i don't think she realised we only wanted it for the daytime, long story short, it's still on!

Andyalfa Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 OK, count me in. I'm bringing the P-Bass, the Stagg and the Ashdown. Hope there's a car park close by. I don't fancy lugging the combo far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 yep, there's a car park outside the pub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyalfa Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Excellent. I just read in a review of the place, that there is an upstairs function room. Is that were we're meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) yep! Probably should have mentioned that it's upstairs though... Edited February 27, 2009 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvolt Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Good job I'm not bringing an amplification, though I don't think it'd fit on the train... I'll give you a PM BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I'll be in Mrs1964's people carrier, and will have room for a couple of people plus some gear. Happy to pick one or two up from the station (Sam, I'll be coming through Hucknall if you want to avoid the tram?) After several basses in and some out in recent weeks, I think I'll bring the Shuker, Thumb, Stingray and fretless Jazz. Probably won't bring the re-issue P unless anyone particularly wants to try one? And I'm looking forward to having a go on my old $$!

Prosebass Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm hoping to have the Lakland necked Jazz ready but have just remembered I have run out of strings. Could get some on the way or does anyone have a set they can sell me and bring to the bash ? Not too bothered what they are old / new ! just need to string it up . I do have some Elixir Nano B's but not the E, A , D, G 's....doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be fetching the Forth Bridge Precision and the Gazzumper Knee bass and Kennyrodgs Roland DB 500 combo.

BigRedX Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've had requests to bring basses with frets so you'll see me with the Red Gus G3 5-string and the Born To Rock F4B unless anyone would prefer something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I had a really great time again! Great to see people from last time and to put some new faces to the screen names. I too have Ric GAS now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazm Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What a great bunch of folks, thanks for a good day. I have GAS for a Warwick thumb bass now - oh bugger lol. Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Sorry if I was inadvertently responsible for causing ric-gas, was nice to see her being passed around like the ten bob whore she truly is at heart Anyone who missed out can catch up with her tomorrow at the afternoon jam at the Greyhound in Beeston for a turn...Oh and Simon I couldn't get Tube Station out of my head so I've just learned it at home! Well done BB for organising it. Right ratio of basses to bass rigs, meant that it didn't get overblown with too many playing at once, which I thought the last N'hampton full bash suffered from.
