More to follow...

[Kiwi]

Ped will have to take a cut out of me along and stand me in the corner.

You can all chuck darts at it or something

[Kiwi]

Pin the tail on the kiwi?

[sdgrsr400]

An idea that crossed my mind is a "strings party": each person interested would bring along a set of (spare) strings to put into a pool, and could try out any other set in the pool. Basically you could try out alternative strings at zero cost. There are risks of mix-ups I guess, but I have heard of this being done in other contexts (students at music college).

[Lfalex v1.1]

Dunno if I can make it because of work, but if I [i]can[/i];

Status Streamline IV with series/parallel coil switching
Warwick Infinity SN IV
+ One other of my choosing

Maybe my Trace + cabs, but the list looks a bit amp-heavy (!!) how much room is there?

[Hamster]

There's quite a bit of room, we just haven't really decided what's going to be done where!

[MacDaddy]

some kind of 'set up' workshop/demo is always useful

I thought the guy who came along to talk about set ups last year was great (apoligies that I've forgotten his name). Can we get him in again?

Hi,

That was Joe White.. Could ask him again though there were a few murmurs last year that at £50 a set up, some people thought he was a bit expensive..

Anyone have any views on this?

Cheers

No - because they choked out.

[EBS_freak]

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='568124' date='Aug 13 2009, 04:23 PM']What does that mean?[/quote]

It's where the action is such that the level of fret buzz is so high, the note actually stops sounding. You tend to get it at the extremes of the neck - ie the first few frets and the frets nearest the body (especially if you happen to "bend" the note in pitch)

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

Just an idea: I don't know if there are many players going that don't already do their own setups, but If anyone wants a free setup on their own bass while learning how to do it as a one to one tutorial including trussrod tweaking, bridge & pickup adjustments and possibly neck shim, I'm happy to do that - maybe we could have a setup bar if there's much demand & anyone else wants to throw their hat into the ring?

I'm genuinely surprised by that. He's done several setups for me and they were all fantastic. Whose bass did he set up that choked out?

I'd be happy to be your teaching assistant on this - I did a basic setup workshop at the Northampton bash a couple of years back.
I would suggest that you make it a hands-on workshop though, otherwise you'll spend all day doing free setups for everyone else.

Musicman - I'm not sure who's it was. It may have been Kiwi's (but don't quote me on that - he was down the side of the room I was when the setup was being re-setup).

EDIT - come to think of it, it may have been a dark blue G&L - maybe Stringrayfans?

Edited August 13, 2009 by EBS_freak

[alexclaber]

Some kind of set-up workshop would be invaluable. I've always set up my own basses and I can't understand how anyone could have someone else set up their bass unless they spend ages with them or revisit repeatedly. It's just such a personal thing (in my personal opinion!)

+1

while I would never turn down a decent free set up, I do actually want to be able to do it for myself. I know the basics, but applying the knowledge under the eye of someone who knows what is meant to be happening would be invaluable.

[Raggy]

I'll be there if im not gigging, will bring a Mesa M9, Mesa 2x15PH or Berg NV412 (whatever i decide to get) and Jap 70's reissue P Bass.
