Another great SW Bass Bash! Wonderful way to spend a sunday. Highlights for me were @fiatcoupe432's fretless Pedulla (what a bass) & the silver grey thing with the piccolo strings (mad), @sprocketflup's NS upright & his SEI fretless, @stewblack's short scale Reverend Dubking(?), @stevie's new LFSys cabs (look utterly superb, top professional build quality & a sound to match), @yorks5stringer's Nordstrand Acinonyx (what an array of sounds from the one bass), @Woodinblack's Shuker (thing of beauty), @Phil Starr's 6" cab build (ridiculously amazing sound from the tiniest of boxes), @Jabba_the_gut's super micro builds (very short 5er with side leds was ace), the always scrumptious scran & catching up with all you guys & gals again. Well done to Scrumpy Mike, Mrs Scrumpy & the Scrumpalettes catering team, Graham on the door & raffle, for organising it all & thanks to all the basschatters who came from near & far (getting further every year). Brilliant.

Covid booster jab tomorrow but will do a LFT before the Bash & will only come if its a negative & I am symptom free. fingers crossed for the buffet, oh & the basses dont forget the basses 😉

I'm thinking of same, 1 for rehearsals & 2 for small gigs. Big gigs already covered by Trace v4 & Barefaced vintage 2x15! Quite fancy getting a small valve amp, something Ampeg or "little bastard" from Ashdown?

Thinking of having a go at a couple of the 10" cabs as a new year project. Has anybody tried them with a small valve amp? & if so how did they perform & did it sound ace? Going to use them for rehearsals & small gigs. churrs, Norm.

Yarp, lets do it! Bestest sunday fun with yer clothes on!

Mace of Bass.

Pays yer money & turn up, just like the rest of us! 😉

& if that doesn't work, its just Captain Birdseye pressganging for his fishing smack! Got to diversify for the gig economy 🤩

Its my lockdown special!

HI Paulo, you were missed mate! Hope you have recovered? I wanted to have a good go on your Helix to see what the fuss is about? Cheers, Norm.

Thanks to Scrumpymike, Mrs Scrump & the Scrumpettes for another great Bass Bash! Nice to see all you familiar faces too! I'm all socialled out. Played some cool stuff today. Highlights were lunch (of course) then the bass highlights were Pinball's shortscale Supro Huntingdon & G&L (with beast mode toggle switch!!!!) Rich's Sire 5er (very nice feel). Yorks5stringer's Warwick Star bass (lovely). Woody's Shuker Uberhorn (Ooerr missus etc) & mind blown by his Chapman stick (still boggled). Stewblack's Hofner Beatle bass (never tried one before, was pleasantly surprised). Jabba's really cute Telecaster short scale build & Stub's Fender Flea jazz bass (very noice). See you next year!

Still coming! & coming hungry! See y'all tomorrow, folks.

No 5ers these days, Pinball?
