Who was playing the NS bass?

That's @slacker - and jolly good he was on it too!

Flink_Poyd · September 2017

...and one of those he's playing it on is Pretty Vacant IIRC (with a few jazz chords from myself during the first chorus....whoops).

That's nothing - I managed an accidental Jazz bass line on a bit of Tom Petty...

ellwood · September 2017

Definitely in next year! Please!!!

Legionreturns · September 2017

I'm so in again for next time! I might even be home by then!

...currently at Chester services putting more coffee into my face, having dropped Chris off safely in the back door to Wales! Should be home in another 90 minutes or so. 5am to 1am... and I'm still bouncing! You guys rock!

digitalscream · September 2017

Well, that was a pretty great day. Special thanks to @Bridgehouse for getting shit sorted (and @Alnico in absentia), @octatonic for drumming his ass off all day, and @bigjon for stepping in...well, almost everywhere really.

Things I learned:

1 - There's an MG ZR out there in even worse shape than mine.
2 - Cupid's Dead is definitely one of those songs where you need rehearsal to pull it off. Lots of rehearsal.
3 - Apparently I can stumble my way through Beat It without totally embarrassing myself. This was a surprise.
4 - Lots of folk really like my lightweight Tele.
5 - My Matrix cab makes at least one person really jealous at load-out time.

I might pick something a little easier to play next year...or maybe I'll just start learning it now

EDIT: I also unexpectedly sold my Bogner Red pedal, so this would mark the first of these events when I've actually gone home with more money than I left with in the morning

I may also look at doing a smaller Northampton area one in a few months for a few hours, if anyone's interested.
I would like to join in with that

TADodger · September 2017

Also up for Quad 2018 please

quick levels tweak and contrast pop

impmann · September 2017

Great pics @Pablo and @Legionreturns thanks for sharing

slacker · September 2017

What an amazing day!

It was a slightly weird one for me as I was splitting time between being in the band on bass, playing guitar as an improver and watching others. Consequently I missed out on the other room.

No single shout outs cos somebody gets missed. So a big thank you to the organisers, house band, singers, the experienced guitar players (who were awesome), the improvers who had a go (sincere respect) the people who were helpful (encouragement lessons, gear lending, roadie skills and lifts-you were very kind) the photographers and apologies to anyone I didnt get to chat to.

I think that's everyone.

Lastly I want a Goldtop.

thomasross20 · September 2017

Lol check @Bridgehouse in that pic!!

I want to see/hear Cupid's dead, Alnico and whoever did the beat it solo. Still not got internet in our new place though, seriously limited data usage. Looks great, love the group pic

TTBZ · September 2017

Sounds like it was a good time! I'd be up for a Northampton one.

Sorry! :-)

Was the Matchless the small amp on the RHS of the 'stage'- that was awesome sounding, I loved playing through that - can someone tell me what model it was?

hywelg · September 2017

Looks like it was a great day, and you lot all look very young!!. Good job I couldn;t make it I would have the oldest one there!

Put me down for the next one please.

How did the amp demos go? Look forward to hearing some clips.

Yes that was @slacker Matchless Lightning 15. Quite simply... gorgeous. It covered so many sonic bases and sounded perfect every time.

Thanks for letting us all use it, chap. A real (expensive for me) eye opener

not_the_dj · September 2017

That Matchless was indeed awesome

darthed1981 · September 2017

Apologies I forget who it was who recommended a Trio Band Creator pedal, but I've bought one!

Fundamental problem that doesn't help though - need to do a lot more playing with others.

Been doing too much playing with myself.

Ahem.

I cant really respond to that on a forum full of sarcastic people. My first band was a four piece and the best musician could play a couple of cowboy chords. All you need is one person with a bass or a drum kit and you've got a makings of a band.

Also get to as many jams as you can.

You are all most welcome. I've had it two years and whilst play it a lot at low level that's the first time it's been proper wound up. It was great to hear how all the player/guitar/pedal combinations sounded different. When I wasnt stressing about my playing it sounded sweet. I didnt even think that it wouldnt feedback, it just responded and was controllable.

In the internet age you get a lot of hype re gear. It was great to see people walk up, use the amp, probably not know what it was and like it. I was, ooh that PRS sounds great, GOLDTOP!!!, he sounds good-it's a Junior, then the Tele players waded in... So it was a proper education for me as I usually use a lot of pedals.

It probably helps if the drummer starts it at the posted 121 bpm, rather than 145 bpm that I did.

We did well to get through it.

fandango · September 2017

Okay for all those that want Goldtop, you can forget about it playing like butter ....

This plays like cream ...

To be fair, I should also have called it and we could've had another (more relaxed) go

Live an' learn. Next time, eh?

Howdy, Stranger!
