xilddx Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Absolutely wickid day! Wonderful meeting so many cool people. There was some seriously high end kit there as well as HappyJack's £75 Kay, which was the surprise of the day for me, a great bass! Silverfoxnik, Merton, Hamster, Mrs Hamster (she's totally lovely ), Ped, Happy Jack, thanks so much for sorting it. Brilliantly organised! The talks and demos from Jakesbass, Alex Claber (sorry I didn't catch all of it mate), Ped and Bassace were REALLY interesting and useful. Thanks to Paul and Oli on the drums, thanks for the jam! I've come over all cuddly Cheers all !! A few pics quickly uploaded .. Edited October 10, 2009 by ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi everyone, What an awesome day Ihad today - really nice to put a few more faces to screen names and I got to play lots of basses through lots of amplifiers and listen to some super talented people talking about what they do best. Massive thanks to all involved, for setting it up, for coming along, and for making it such a great day. Here are some pics taken on my camera. I didn't take many as I was so busy chatting to people and listening to the seminars! Add your pics here! Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sounded great Although you have the lightest touch on a bass I have ever come across, do you do needlepoint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm sad I never got a chance to have a string bass lesson from Jake and Bassace. Clarky, you look like a total pro in that pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPS, Bassace's Upton DB was a seriously nice instrument - WAAAAY nicer than the one I had lessons on (and which is a dust covered, unused ornament in my sitting room!)

urb Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks cool guys - just got back from my gig - sadly I really couldn't have made it as we had to sound check around 3pm, all went smoothly so at least I got some bassin' in - my Sei single cut (as ever) was a joy to play live... though if Ped ever wants to sell his Vigier... well obviously that's just silly PS - lovely B&W pics too chaps - very arty!

iamapirate Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I probably wouldnt have been able to make it even if there wasn't a wedding - although I am south-east, surrey is just a tad too far for me. Looks like it was an awesome time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Luckily I should be based down south for the next one. No idea how Ill get some of my gear there, but plenty of time to arrange that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Cheers - bit annoyed myself because lots of them are out of focus - I didn't put enough attention into taking the pics, I was too busy checking out stuff and planning my Vbass demo thing (left it to literally the last min of course!!) Cheers ped P.s anyone else have pics?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Looked like it was an awesome time to be had. Really enjoyed last year and was gutted when I couldn't make this one at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Cheers - some are out of focus and others oversharpened due to an export fail in Lightroom... you can see better ones on my Flickr page. The camera is a compact, believe it or not. A Ricoh CX1. I love it, take it everywhere. More often than not I shoot in B/W with the ISO at 400 and a limit on the slow shutter speed so it takes great 'action' shots. Great camera!
