Bridgehouse Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just got back after exhibiting at the guitar show in Brum after it made it’s return this year. Really good day out and I thought you’d like to see some selective bass highlights.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I would have gone, unfortunately it clashed with my sax ensemble's monthly meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) I was there today from about 1-3. I went with my band's guitarist knowing full well there wouldn't be much bass stuff, but it was not as bad as expected. Checked out a few new luthiers with some interesting ideas, caught up with the MarkBass guys too as we'd chatted a lot at Liverpool Show. Ashdown was a bit underwhelming as a fan, as they had a lot of space but not much in it. I did get to check out the John Myung signature drive, but without having it at home i'd never really know if I liked it. 30 min per hour being half quiet was appreciated, as the god awful sound of dozens of shredding guitarists when I walked in made me question my choice of going. The highlight was undoubtedly the lamb curry & rice from the catering stand. Edited May 8, 2022 by Machines 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's weight issues with a Les Paul type of body unless it was chambered or something, but it did look pretty tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're all there, there's 8 of us. For some weird reason I seem to run it... so I can't really duck out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the event was not "as bad as expected" and the "highlight was undoubtedly the lamb curry & rice", am I right in assuming that the event was then rather *censored* ? (please feel free to replace *censored* with a four letter word, maybe starting with "c" or "s" and yes, I kept it purposely vague so fellow BCers can impress us with some witty jokes ;- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For bassists, yes. But it wasn't advertised as a bass show either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
