Oomo Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Got to my local station only to find it closed for engineering works... Bit delayed, but found a reasonable alternative route involving a couple of trains and connecting cabs 🤞 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 On my way, with Mrs Bass Dinger - she rightly spotted that my kit would not fit into a Ford Fiesta, so we are bringing the bigger car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is well, albeit not what I expected or planned! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Nice to see some new faces and familiar faces, and some faces conspicuous by their absence. No @Silvia Bluejay so no blog! 😱 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamIAm Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 What a fab bash, enjoyed myself so much, great to see faces for BC names I know and what a treat to speak with and listen to Guy Pratt! S'manth x 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Great day out - as usual. Lawrence Cottle was amazing - not sure if I felt inspired or demoralised. He practices for 3 hours a day, everyday. Did anybody video his seminar? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The TE 1200 was amazing - a definite improvement over the Elf - but I think I still prefer the vintage made in the UK models. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Mark Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Brilliant day! I'd never thought about it before but it makes total sense to start with the middle finger on the plucking hand when a phrase starts on the G string because your middle finger is usually the longest (unless you're from Norfolk apparently!).

prowla Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Well, that was a great day out! I also got to play “Money” on Guy Pratt’s Betsy. Edited November 12, 2023 by prowla 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Great day! Guy and Laurence both excellent, as were the Basschat team behind the day. And lovely to see old friends and new faces. @stevie’s LFSys cabs are superb, especially the 12” version.

Indeed…and first ticket out of the bucket having said I never win 🤩 Only had a quick noodle on the LFSys cabs at the end of the but look and sound good, so more choices for cabs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbybloke68 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Thank you so much Colin, Gary, Trevor and whoever else was involved with the organisation, it really was an amazing day and lovely to meet such nice folks. My first time but definitely not my last (I hope!!) very very impressed by stevie’s LFSys cabs when I compared them to my BB2, especially the 10’” one.Great vibe. A privilege to attend x 😊 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed a trick actually - earlier in the day @stevie was using the Trace to show off his cabs. The pairing sounded incredible 😊 But ultimately, each to their own etc etc 😎 Edited November 12, 2023 by Merton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 A great time was had by all by the looks of it, many thanks to all those who made it happen! I could listen to Guy Pratt all day, either his anecdotes or his playing (checking out Toy Matinee as I type), and Laurence Cottle was a surprise bonus, what a musician, what a player. Great to have a noodle on MacDaddy's hot rod Shuker, and great to hear how well Stevie's LFSys cabs handle double bass... bloody well as it turns out. Also great to hang out in Wal/Smith corner... must have been a hell of a load in/load out, but that collection must have doubled the value of the school! 🤣 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
