The Bass Show UK - Cranmore Park, Birmingham - March 1st and 2nd

[Stub Mandrel]

If I go it will be Saturday; gigging Sunday.

If Andertons were going to attend the Geetar side of things then maybe Cici and Lee might like to bring a pile of stuff and do some bass exclusive demos? They're always entertaining to watch on the videos, great players and would probably sell some gear for Andertons as a result

Sat would be my preference too, I think.

[Geek99]

I will have a conversation with the lady of the house 

[Machines]

I should be on the BassDirect stand helping out both days.

[AndyTravis]

I’ll be there again helping @walshyon the VBR stand…and doing some of this stuff too.

 

Bigger booth this year too!

It's a bass guitar show - we're all the handsome ones.  The ugly dudes are at the show next door.

Got ma ticket for the Saturday 😁

[AlexDelores]

Going with a friend and it’s looking like we’ll be heading there on the Sunday! Looking forward to this. Any more info on potential clinics or exhibitors? 
 

I might be missing something but I can’t find a breakdown on their website

Ditto  

[FJ1200]

Missed it last year due to being ill and no car, so going this year for definite!

[Wombat]

Could be something to do with the site changes/upgrades that I’ve read are going on but I can’t get the Lanyard doc to open. Yes, I’m that sad that I would wear one….

[Bilbothebassplayer]

I will be there on the Saturday, it'll be my first bass event. Any tips on how to plan my day?

It opened no problem for me.

Here's a PDF rather than a .docx, try that.

Just listen for the sound of knuckles being dragged and go to the other hall

Im not that sad but I might watch out for those brave enough to wear them and introduce myself (as someone else obviously, and I will spin a tissue of obscure but plausible lies to hide my identity which no one will ever guess to be my strategy if I just don’t type that anywhere … )

Just jump in, I reckon.  That works for me.

Yes but only for hapless pheasants/partridges/foxes/badgers when you “swerve to avoid them” 🤫

[Geek99]

I bet you say, probably out loud, “I want fava beans, and a nice chianti ! ” before going into reverse gear to make double-sure of your (road) kill

 

i did hear on Foxbook (a popular social media amongst Canids) that mother foxes have been using fear of Jack the Clutch-slipper to make their cubs stay close to home lest they be caught and subjected to your version of “the spatchcock” which is essentially a Pirelli tattoo 

 

 

non amusing full disclosure: when we arrived at my late fathers house and were told to avoid meat products in the fridge, I noted that there was a photo  of a squirrel on the fridge door. I immediately pulled out a sharpie and drew tire tracks over it. Full-on empathic that I am. Partner was equal p arts shocked and laughing, till her dog spent the next day puking for England

Just in case anyone knows how to do it... this is the absurd list of what my Samsung Galaxy offers to open pdf files... I have Acrobat installed. I can't find any way of assigning apps to file types under 'default apps' as you would on a pc.

Foxbook served me up with a post about dog-rugs. That is beautifully hand crafted rugs in the realustic shape of dogs. Unfortunately almost everyone who commented, including me, could only see roadkill...

I just opened Acrobat on my Android phone and it (Acrobat rather than Android) gave me the option to set it as my PDF viewer, and allowed me to open PDF files from the app.
