Vishyyy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I'll be at the Focusrite stand working on Saturday, so if you pop by say hello. Looking forward to checking out all the bass related stands when I get a chance. 🙂 2 Quote

I'm under strict orders not to purchase anything else! If I do, the walk back home will be the walk back to my ex-home! 😂 Edited February 26 by tonyf 2 Quote
Wombat Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Yes, but it's only a threat! You know you need more gear. It won't last more than about a month. Your can go without proper meals for that long! 🤣 1 1 Quote
Minininjarob Posted Friday at 13:29 Posted Friday at 13:29 Help! I’m coming a long way to this with a friend and forgot to get the tickets online. Will I 100% be able to get in buying tickets online the door? Quote
Dood Posted Friday at 14:58 Posted Friday at 14:58 Hey all. I have to admit, I was really looking forward to this show. It has been too long in my own calendar since I’ve had an opportunity to catch up with our fellow ‘chatters and my wider group of bass playing and industry friends. There’s a number of brands that I’d also really like to talk to, kinda important for my job (and passion in general) too. Sadly due to an ongoing health issue that has reared its ugly head in spectacular style this week, I am very ill. I’m just too weak to be able to attend. This week was made bad enough having to endure missing our dear friend Nick Smith’s funeral on Tuesday 💔(though it warmed my heart to know that Peterborough Cathedral was so full, people had to stand up.) So, this much needed trip out, even for my own mental health, I’ll have to miss. Please, as usual, lots of pics and videos, wish I were there to hang out with our BC fam’. 10 Quote

Wombat Posted Friday at 19:12 Posted Friday at 19:12 Been recommended Brew Twenty Three across the road from the centre for lunch. Anyone local have any experience of the place pls? Quote
Richard R Posted Friday at 19:29 Posted Friday at 19:29 I've lost the editable version of the lanyard files, but just in case anyone does want the BC badges I did a couple of years back these are the images. 2 Quote
Richard R Posted Friday at 19:33 Posted Friday at 19:33 I'm getting there about 12:30 - 1pm ish. If anyone wants to avoid me then I'm easy to spot as I'll be wearing the t-shirt that's my avatar. 1 Quote
Wombat Posted Friday at 19:36 Posted Friday at 19:36 I'm hoping to fall through the door at 10! Quote

Richard R Posted Friday at 20:07 Posted Friday at 20:07 Looking back over this thread we should be able to meet quite a few people.

Rich Posted Friday at 20:12 Posted Friday at 20:12 That's a very useful list, especially the who's-on-what-stand bit, thank you! I will be the bald bewildered-looking chap wandering around in a black/grey long sleeve Basschat t-shirt. 1 Quote
Rich Posted Friday at 20:18 Posted Friday at 20:18 Yolanda Charles is going to be on the Sandberg stand on Saturday. Also hoping to bump into Becky Baldwin at some point. I'll do my best to talk her into joining BC, having another high profile pro player on board can only be a good thing. 1 Quote

prowla Posted Friday at 22:25 Posted Friday at 22:25 I might give it a miss - there's a couple of people on that list whom I'd like to give the opportunity of insulting me F2F rather than online, but I don't think it's worth a 2-hour drive for the pleasure. 3 Quote
Kev Posted Friday at 22:40 Posted Friday at 22:40 i'm gigging in Bracknell on the Sat so i'm not really going to be able to make it on the Sat as planned, but i'm not ruling out sunday yet! Perhaps i'll wait until I see Sat feedback first! 😅 Quote

So happy you came - nice to share a beer… what was I saying... 🤣 Fortunately I chose not to remember- but I am pretty sure the guitarist who joined us at the table had all his stereotypes about bass players thoroughly reinforced! 🤓 2 Quote
