Hi @Alnico,
Do you have room for a little one?

cheers
Jon

There's just room for you Jon,

It'll be great to see you again, it's got to be 2 years since?
Looking forward to it man, I'm really glad you can make it.

Ladles and Jellyspoons, for those who don't know, @jonnybradford is a top bass player and really nice bloke. I didn't think this could get any better but it just did.

1 place left !!!

@Bigjon?
Do you know yet?

@Bigjon?
Do you know yet?

Just sorted out the family diary! Yes! I'm in!

Don't need a lift thanks, I'll make my own way there.

I can contribute drums / keys / bass on songs where I'm not the lead singer.

Someone suggested a jar or two afterwards a few posts back. I'd like to expand that suggestion - would someone local care to recommend the finest curry house in the area? We'd probably need to hire a secure room to lock up all the gear for the duration, so some of the finances could go towards that.

Get in.....That's the last place taken.

Anyone who wants to go now will be at the mercy of cancellations I'm afraid.

Thank you so much to everyone who's attending.

If @jonnybradford and @bigjon could PM @Bridgehouse to arrange payment (£8) that would be great and a gentle reminder to anyone who hasn't made contact with @Bridgehouse yet to do so please.
Thanks guys.

This sounds like great fun but I'm a little too far away. If there is ever going to be one further south, I'm definitely going to make it.

That was one of the idea's that we've kicked about already for a later date.
We'll keep everyone posted after this one as to what we can do, where and when.

@alnico could I suggest that you make a dropout list for those that didn't make a decision in time or didn't see the thread. As people drop out you can amend the list.

Ulterior motive time I'd like to be 31. However I'd come along to help on bass, as well as improving my limited soloing skills.

Done.

As the TBC's are still unconfirmed and I'm taking your post above to mean you'd definitely be able to go, I've altered the post so that directly below the main list is a reserve list and @slacker is at the top of that list.

TBC's are still thereat the bottom of the page but now that the main 30 places are taken, if they confirm they can go they'll need to join the reserve list and see if anyone wants to/has to cancel closer to the time.

That's the fairest way I can do this.
Hope that's ok with everyone.

impmann · July 2017

Gear I'm bringing...

A guitar.

A gigbag.

Maybe a capo, just in case.

A plectrum.

TBH, I haven't decided which I'll bring... perhaps I'll put it to a vote, as I'm more than happy for anyone to play any of my guitars (its quite nice to hear them being played). Here are the options:

1972 Tele (SD Broadcaster pickups & Allparts neck)
Partcaster Tele (Alegree Cirrostratus pickups)
MIM Tele Deluxe with Trem (Mojo Wideranges)
MIJ Jaguar (Fender pickups, Mastery bridge)
Jazzmaster (GSP Body, Mascis Neck, Mojo pickups, Mastery bridge and trem)
PRS 305

I can only bring one, as I'm coming on the train.

Any thoughts?

Alnico · July 2017

@impmann ........Personally, I would love to see the Jaguar having never really played one and especially if it's had the bridge sorted with a Mastery unit.
I'm not sure that anyone's mentioned bringing an offset guitar yet so it might be one of the few if you do?

It's a tough choice between that and a '72 Tele though! (real '72 or reissue?)

Real... well, some of it!! The pickups and neck have been replaced... I broke the original neck and the original pickups were dire!!!!!!

Happy to bring an offset, especially if others fancy having a go

Well if the neck on the Tele isn't original then I'd say I'll vote for the Jaguar.

See what other's think though.

Ok, Thanks for being upfront now about it and letting me know.
I'll amend the list and give your place to @slacker .

@slacker .....can you PM @Bridgehouse and arrange to pay him your £8 please? He's handling all that side of things.

If I had a pound for every time a woman has told me that!

Alnico · July 2017

There's enough time between now and the event for life to step in the way of people's plans and it's inevitable that some will need to pull out so I've created the reserve list for exactly this reason.
If the people who still want to go can post here or in the other thread I'll put them on the reserve list.
If people who need to pull out can let me know as soon as they know they've got to, I can offer the places out and replace them with 'Reservists'.

I'm on top of it all so far and aside from spending a lot of time on the forum anyway I've got them bookmarked and alerts set up for when there's something posted so it's running smoothly so far.

digitalscream · July 2017

The observant amongst you might've noticed that a banner has magically appeared at the top of the page...with a company logo on it...

This is because the good folk at D'Addario have agreed to send along a care package (strings, possibly t-shirts and a bunch of other "stuff") for attendees. One reason for this is that if some folk are doing walkthroughs of setting up a guitar etc, it's going to be grease the wheels to have plenty of sets of strings kicking around without people being forced to go and buy some.

Another reason is...well, it's nice, and anything that doesn't get used from the box will be spread amongst anyone who's still there at the end of the day.

not_the_dj · July 2017

Nice one!

I'd noticed that and think it's great to get that kind of support from a major like D'Addario. Good work and very good of them to send a care package.

Alnico · July 2017

I can't honestly say I didn't know about this because I did but I'll also say well done Lee and I'm even more proud of us right now for making this event come to life and being part of this community.

Brilliant.

impmann · July 2017

Yay! Good old D'Addario and well done for sorting that out!

Cheers, although I can't take all the credit - I worked with our very own @Adji to sort it out (he works for D'Addario). He deserves a round of applause too

In that case we'll done @Adji too.
What a great addition to an already cool event.
I'd love a D'addario T shirt to wear when my band gets off the ground, soon we hope.
I'd be really happy to wear that and promote them, they're my favourite strings ever since @ICBM poisoned my mind and made me hate elixirs !
Hahahaha

Nikko · July 2017

Nice one D'addario! Well done to all involved in getting this organised. Really looking forward to the day.

... Oh yeah, and I'd also like a t-shirt

WezV · July 2017

excellent stuff!

digitalscream · July 2017

Heh...I'm afraid it's "whatever we're given" at this point - the t-shirts will probably be an extra bit bundled in if there's room and they can spare them...we're not taking orders for free clothes

No problem.
Misunderstood what I read while being slightly busy.

Howdy, Stranger!
