M-Bass-M Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I went last year, and will most definitely be going this year...with a cash fund should anything take my fancy Last year was a blast - found myself talking to the legendary pairing of John East and Martin Sims. Was blown away by the fantastic craftmanship of the Enfield bass, but had distinct reservations over the fugly "Super 8" PuP...and of course the price!

JakeBrownBass Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm definitely going to be there seen as my accommodation is less than 30 seconds away from the door & i start to study at RNCM next month I always really enjoy it, i've been to the last 2. Really glad the slapfest is going to be addressed though, i thought my head was going to explode at the last one. Also, i really hope Yolanda doesn't plant herself right outside the main arena though like last year. It was really really off putting during the main performances q&a when all you could hear was her in the background slapping away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Haven't missed one yet but I'm humming and ha'ing about this year's show. Trouble is it's moved to October and I have a wedding gig in Blair Atholl the night before so I'll not get back to Edinburgh till after 3am. We usually leave here around 7 to get to manchester and my mate's blind so I have to do all the driving. Still it would be a shame to miss it, I really like catching up with folks.

lozbass Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 'Been to a couple - being based in Manchester, it's easy - but last year finished it for me. A fairly pedestrian affair IMO with cacophonous and largely artless slap from start to finish. The only high points for me were Bell (a drummer!) and seeing BC's 4000 (unusual but brilliant and intense technique) and a few other BC friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I think I'll be going, not sure if I'll be a civilian or on a trade stand this year, I really didn't enjoy last year other than jamming with Yolanda and Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) I've consulted my diary and I seem to be busy on the date on the event. Please do pass on my best to the organisers and my apologies for not being able to make it this year. It's just that I've penciled in making placards for ThisNameIsTaken's demo against Jedward arrive on his patch.

yorks5stringer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've been practising slapping all this year so I could go on to some of the stands and give a good account of myself: now I find out it's banned! How f88ckin unfair is that? Relax, just joking, expect I'll go- with earplugs in my top pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 OK then people now we are all agreed that they need to sort the slappers out how would [b]you[/b] do it? I was thinking about timed slots where they pass a batton or something comical ,whatever to each stand and only if you have the batton can you power up amps for demo's.Everyone gets a fair crack of the whip and can actually hear their own gear?

AndyTravis Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Shitloads of Headphone Amps. Like those silent rave type things. Imagine walking through that without headphones on, it'd be like listening to a load of mouse traps going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Better than the current setup though so thats a start, Anymore ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Seperate out the stands inside the hall with those soundproofed office cubicle type things? Edited August 24, 2010 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
