Bassman Sam

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1486985106' post='3235989'] My thanks to Big Rob of this parish for the amazing Status that he sold me A 1985 bass with a Bubinga front and Lacewood back. Active with knobs and GMT p/ups. Sounds great, gets it's first gig this weekend [attachment=238088:20170213_090525.jpg] [attachment=238089:20170213_090531.jpg] [/quote] Thanks for the GAS attack. Lovely bass.

[quote name='Zootchaser' timestamp='1487010421' post='3236252'] Hi All, Apologies for not leaving a post earlier - I'm not into this "posting" thing but that no excuse for not recording a really big thank you to the organisers. It's nearly always a thankless task organising events but judging by the posts I think that this time your efforts were well and truly appreciated. Thanks also to everyone who let me play their basses, I enjoyed the opportunity to get my hands on basses I'd only ever read about - thanks again everyone. Final thought - I'm really glad I didn't suffer a large bump on the head and missing bass �� [/quote] If you ever think of moving it on, please give me 1st dibs. Cash in hand, not blows to the head. Well, whatever one works out cheaper.

Josie. I forgot to mention your beautiful GMR single cut. It must be up there with one of the most stunning basses I have every had the pleasure to see. Oh, and next time, I'll share the cost of the cakes. My birthday was on the 9th.

i would just like to add that zootchaser was very lucky to leave without a large bump on his head and a missing bass. I fell in love with his Zoot today.

Well, if I have got this right, you should be able to click on the link below to see my really bad photography of today's events. You will the gist though. http://imgur.com/a/Jx1o4

[quote name='MisterT' timestamp='1486931132' post='3235699'] Hello to all I spoke to and those I didn't. Kev - thanks for organising, appreciate it. My first outing as a bassist and I end up as the drummer [/quote] Yeah but a good one buddy. Only had to punch in the info once.

I have a great time at the NWBB today and I will upload some pictures when I suss out where they have disappeared to on my Macbook Pro. It was great to meet such a lovely bunch of people and their fabulous gear. I came away with some serious GAS. Thanks to Kev, Lurksalot, for organising it and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1486678513' post='3233863'] Hey guys (and gals)! I can't be there but I'm sure one or more of you will have a camera and perhaps a recorder? Would be good to have a few pics and/or some footage. Bash newbies, feel free to click on my bass blog link in my signature, and you'll see what really happens at a bash. [/quote] I'm going to take my camera Bluejay but I don't think I'll do as good a job as you. I'll probably leave the lens cap on.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1485818917' post='3227038'] I've got a Stagg practice amp if that floats your boat, it's a few years old now. [/quote] I've just found a bass combo in my garage that I forgot I had. I thought I had sold it. Thanks anyway.

[quote name='Bass Culture' timestamp='1486584685' post='3233067'] I'll be losing my Bass Bash cherry on Sunday - really looking forward to it. I understand it gets easier and you get better at it after the first time... [/quote] Me too. I'm looking forward to it though. Too old and arthritic to give a sh@t.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1486545188' post='3232567'] Hey - thanks Sam. I didn't see this the other day. My other half is using the car still but only until mid-afternoon and as she's away with work this week she's planned something in for us now as I wasn't expecting to make this. Sorry! Thanks anyway. [/quote] No worries.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1486032811' post='3228611'] Sorry for lack of updates from me, but I doubt I can make it to this as the car will be being used by my partner...enjoy the day! [/quote] Where are you based? I might be able to give you a lift.

Great sound. Nice work nash.

Signed.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1486074920' post='3229131'] I'm in the process of having a 'new' Precision and am just waiting for some pictures to come through. Quite excited at the prospect of sharing it! There's quite a story to go with the pictures too! (well, for me it's interesting anyway!!) [/quote] You're such a tease.

I use boxing gloves but that's mainly to save my eyesight.

My latest toy. [attachment=237181:bass 1.jpg] [attachment=237182:bass 2.jpg]

Sad to hear this. He had been suffering from cancer for some time.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1485818917' post='3227038'] I've got a Stagg practice amp if that floats your boat, it's a few years old now. [/quote] Bring it along and I'll have a look. Thanks.

If anyone is shifting a small practise amp, please bring it along. I'd be interested if the price is right.

Love that colour. Enjoy.

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1485711398' post='3226024'] It'll be back! [/quote] Without doubt.

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1485707793' post='3225980'] That looks like a nice bass. [/quote] Thanks, It is. Really happy with it. The GAS has gone , for now.

Just picked up a Fender Precision Bass Special Deluxe from Karl. A total gent and an easy transaction. He even put a set of flats on it for me and included a set of roundwounds in case I didn't like them. What a bloke.
