Richard R Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 This is the last one, as I really do need to practice for Sunday 😁 We need a list of who's going and on what day, similar to the attendees for a Bash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolltax Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'll be there on Saturday, probably aim to spring out of bed early and be there at the start - hoping to ignore all the guitars and try some multiscale basses and saying hi to @Manton Customs Looking forward to it, should I leave my wallet at home? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still need food. There is usually a fantastic caterer doing top notch curry/rice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Which day I go is now dependent on the weather, as I have 70 yards of fence to paint this weekend 😞 I'll get a PDF of the badges uploaded today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I will bring some pocket money and I'll wear a badge just in case a fellow BCer wants me to bore the pants off them J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 1 hour ago, Manton Customs said: Finished this one off in time for the guitar show on Saturday! If any bass chatters are going, make sure to say hello. This is one of my medium scale (32”) Paradigm models except this time instead of the traditional Precision pickup we have two Nordstrand Big Split pickups in P/J locations. There are just two main woods on the bass except in different variations. These are Maple and an Australian wood called Yarran, which is extremely hard and colour wise makes a nice alternative to Rosewood for fretboards (but it’s much harder!). I also made a matching control plate out of the Yarran to tie it altogether. The body is a single piece of beautifully figured/flamed native Maple and the neck some dark roasted 1/4 sawn Maple. Being a darker roast it almost has the colour of Mahogany. Features overview 32” scale 20 fret Yarran fretboard 1/4 sawn dark roast Maple neck 1pc Figured English Maple body Nordstrand Big Split pickups Hipshot hardware Yarran control plate Stacked CTS pots (passive) Black Tusq nut Dunlop straplock ready Weight 7lb 14oz Looks great @Manton Customs - see you there (I hope) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyndainverse Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This will be my first trip to a guitar show, any tips for making the best of the day? I have a milestone birthday coming up and planning to get a new bass to celebrate. I'm going as it seems a good opportunity to try a variety of basses to inform my decision. I'm planning to check out Reverend, Sandberg and @walshy's stand. Also hoping to try out any Hagstroms and Stingrays if there are any. I am leaning towards medium or short scale, but not ruling out a long scale. Currently I have two squire classic vibes, mustang and jaguar, as well as my old (an much neglected) SGC Nanyo Bass Collection. Any advice would be much appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tips really, just have a mooch around and try out stuff that grabs your attention. I really like it for discovering things I hadn't seen before, and some smaller brands I didn't know about. You can get around the whole show in a relatively short time. I definitely want to check out the Sandberg, Ibanez, Cort and ACG stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Last year the music shop stands had quite a lot of basses as well as guitars - way more than I expected. Fair Deal Music from Brum, Absolute Music from Brighton, and of course PMT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knicknack Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'll be onstage at 4pm on Sunday by the looks of it... a bit of Sandberg action plus a very lovely '71 P I've borrowed for the weekend!
