A trio? Awesome! Now we don't need @Bridgehouse! Another space available?

slacker · August 2017

Where's the raised eyebrow smarticon when you need it? oops, I'm Church of England, eat dairy and drink instant coffee but not a bassist...

Good luck getting in without my receipt...

I have a Trio+ too. My pedalboard is pretty small, it's just that and a home-made fuzz (plus a mini mixer to send the trio bass+drums and/or PC audio to my amp's aux-in, separately from the guitar signal). I might bring them along. Soon to have a home-made TS808 hopefully though. I sold a Boss RC 30 looper and a Trio (non-plus) to get the Trio+ because although the Boss looper was much more feature-rich, it was tricky getting the Trio and the looper to work together. The Trio+ makes it a piece of cake.

News Update...............

@TheOtherDennis has had to pull out due to personal circumstances.

@stevie_the_spy has taken Dennis' place and everyone on the reserve list has moved up one place.
It now looks like this.

It has been suggested before when reservists take the place of a member who's pulled out but already paid for the place, that the person taking the place pays their £8 back to the person pulling out. The fund for the studio is fine, we've got enough left over to make a donation to tFB after paying for everything so if @stevie_the_spy could follow suit and send @TheOtherDennis his £8 instead of sending it to the organisers, that would be great.
If any of you other reservists reading this could think about doing the same as and when (and if) you move up into getting a place, that would also be wonderful.

I will make any announcements about places and tag everyone concerned here so everyone gets a notification of what's going on, as and when things happen.
Life gets in the way of plans and if people need to pull out , it's a shame we won't see them and they'll miss out on the great time we'll have but there WILL be other times and other Jam's.

This has already been discussed and we're quite happy to keep doing this, moving it about the country a bit to try to catch as many members as we can.
It's a slightly similar idea to the one I tried to run in 2015 with 'Knackered Jack and the Resistors', only this time it's MUCH better organised and has much more focus than any of those sessions ever did, to which I'm very grateful to the other guys for helping out with.

Personally I would love to see this become a regular summer time thing for tFB to run every year, a series of Jams, maybe with different theme's and focus' in years to come, but definitely something that we can all look forward to each summer and spend the months after the guitar show in Februrary planning for and as it gains traction, maybe even to get regulars who enjoy it to spend more time prepping and practicing for it and turn each one into something quite spectacular.

What a great achievement for tFB as a forum and a community!

Let's get through this one, try to make the others the same kind of success as this is turning out to be and then move forward with that under our belts and the idea's we've had as inspiration.

Thanks again to everyone for helping make this all happen.

Have a chat with Mr McToot - I believe he's attended meets in the Sussery area in the past.

Might also get Mr Feline involved ...

I do hope he and his better half are okay...

I'd be interested in a oop norf option (even though it's still likely to be south for me!)

So whats the deal with some of the event being filmed/photographed? I think it would be a good record to have afterwards. I understand that some people may not want to be filmed etc through nervousness (I fully understand that )

I found my old GoPro last night and could bring it along if needed, and id be happy to palm the footage I got off to someone else for edting as my skills in that department are pretty much like my guitar playing skills

The deal is that we're going to film those who ask to be filmed and NOT going to film anyone who's got a problem with it.
We're really NOT trying to upset anyone or make anyone feel under more pressure than they might already feel.

The AMP SHOOTOUT is definitely being filmed because it's me doing it.
We'll use 3 different types of guitar through each of the amps we have but it'll be me playing the same piece of music (TBC) on each of the 3 different styles of guitar for @digitalscream to then edit later and use on tFB's YT channel or however else he wants to use it.
NO ONE else will be in this video so NO ONE needs to worry about this bit.
The amp shootout is going to be home amps and we're trying to shoot something that will help people compare before they buy but we're aiming to film and record this with decent sound quality, given that we're in a studio and we'll have whatever we need to do that PLUS we'll have such a variety of amps around us, it's silly not to take advantage of that.
This isn't aimed at big amps and we've got enough work on already getting the home amps thing done so thanks in advance to anyone offering a big amp to add to this but we won't be doing that. We're specifically looking at the home amps with the biggest in mind being the Katana 50. I'm bringing my CODE 25 and a few others are bringing stuff like that plus ID CORE, etc.

Back to the question.........
If anyone wants to be filmed at any point, you only need to ask us and we'll gladly oblige as best we can.

slacker · August 2017

@Alnico I'd rather not be filmed as I'm there to improve and get feedback on my poor soloing.

RE home amps, I've got a ZVex Nano and a Vox AC4C1 if you want them.

Nikko · August 2017

No worries @Alnico, Thanks for the detailed reply. Being filmed doesn't bother me either way, but I fully understand that some people wouldn't want this. Thinking I might clamp the GoPro to my headstock as I'd be interested to check my technique.

Maybe for Comfortably Numb we could have a multi-camera production

To be fair I'm putting everything I know how to into getting 'Comfortably Numb' as good as it can be.
It'd be great if we get some decent footage of that.

No pressure then !
Lol

Ha ha none at all!

That's no problem.
It's not something we're going to make a list of but we'll be very careful before we turn the camera's on so everyone will be aware if there's any filming going on.

The only thing I would like from EVERYONE is that I'd like to try to organise one group photo of everyone that attended. Just a simple group photo with as many people holding their guitars as possible.
I'm sure @TTony and @digitalscream would appreciate this too and with the permission of everyone in the shot that could be used in some way for tFB.
Obviously if there are those who don't want to be in such a photo, that's also fine just let us know and don't get in the group when we take it. That's fair and simple enough isn't it?

Yes those amps would be great for the shootout.
Thanks.

slacker · August 2017

I'm fine with a photo as it wont reveal my playing ability. I'll chuck the amps in the car on the day.

darthed1981 · August 2017

I'd actually quite like to be filmed..

Oh - we are talking about the jam...?

Seriously though I'd actually appreciate a film of my performance/embarrasing meltdown so I have a memento and something to show the wife I was with guitarists and not, I dunno, hookers.

If anyone is filming feel free to film me, if it goes badly i might ask nicely for it not to be widely shared

Legionreturns · August 2017

I'd quite like video of anything I'm in, but obviously if other people are doing the same performance and don't want to be filmed not a biggie.

Ditto.

Voxman · August 2017

What a fabulous idea and fantastic for those with little or no live experience who have an opportunity to dip their feet in the 'live' water to learn and build their confidence in a totally friendly supportive and non-judgemental environment. Hope the event is well supported and a big success. Huge kudos for putting this together guys.

TheBlueWolf · August 2017

I'm quite happy to be filmed making a total arse of myself. The people expect lol

Is there linkage for the tFB YT channel @Alnico ?

I am blissfully unaware and not part of that I'm afraid.
I'm happily helping build up content if I can and will happily continue to do so if I can but the YT thing is something that @digitalscream mentioned and I can only assume he knows the full story.

spark240 · August 2017

Ive already mentioned that Im bringing my Taylor 414 and Roland AC 60, ( as well as some electric stuff) for anyone that wants to try that combination or part thereof...also happy to try my guitar- your amp or vice - versa.

Im also bringing a list of our open Mic jam songs just in case anyone wants to learn a few easy to play numbers for their own Jam nights. no pressure, just a few chords to fiddle with at home.

Ill just park up in the corner out the way....Oh and Ill be there well early, so if you want to busk outside....

Absolutely, good idea - if for no other reason than the one already mentioned: to prove to the wives that we really were with a bunch of middle-aged guitar obsessives and not the gaggle of attractive young ladies they (mine) seem to imagine.

We should wear the t shirts for the photo too

@digitalscream I'm neither young, attractive or female.

@spark240 I'll take you up on the jam night songs, it'd be nice to have a few tunes I can pull out for jam nights.

There's two people who've not seen them yet

I think the same can be said for everyone showing up. In fact, I don't think any of those three things apply to any of us...hence spending a Saturday nerding out on guitars and amps :P

Howdy, Stranger!
