I've had a look down the back of the sofa but I'm a bit short 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

5k

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, etc.

Played a Mark Bass Casa version that looks very similar to this today.

It was a filthy little beast, looks very old skool cool like a valve amp but has almost nowt in the box!

Sounds great though GLWTS.

Another great bash!

highlights for me :-

Frank Black's Godin acoustic (& special medal to Frank for distance travelled!).

Yorks5stringer's restored to its near original condition Fender Tele bass (again, its a great bass).

Woodinblack's beautiful Ibanez 5 str.

Japanaxe's Dingwall Super P, Demeter Amp & Portaflex Amp, very lively sounding.

Jabba_the_gut's teeny weeny travel basses, brilliant fun to play.

MoJoKe's new Markbass Classic Amp, filthy sounding thing.

Meeting Tony Butler, lovely humble interesting bloke

The company of all you basschatters & a buffet of smashing grub.

Cheers,

Norm

I would very much like to purchase one of @Jabba_the_gut‘s tiny travel basses - such fun, and so nicely put together!

Loved the food - you could easily charge twice what you do @scrumpymike.  Loved having the opportunity to buy bits from @Chownybass too - got me a bridge for my incredibly slow build.

Also won a pedal in the raffle. - I love pedals!

And thank you to @Andyjr1515 for the donation of a neck for my slow build and knobs for my Hohner Jack.  

Bought some mics from @Frank Blank a chuffed with those too.  I like mics nearly as much as I like basses!

Basschat is a great community.

The Great Big SW Bass Bash pedal! 

Rich donated it 3 years ago & I won it. I donated it last year & Woody won it. This year Woody donated it & you got it.

No pressure

I so want a bass like this:

Top photo, little fella, big instrument.

Bottom photo Big fella, tiny instrument. Story of my life :)

whoa nelly!

Got asked to join a very busy heavy blues rock band (very flattering but bit too busy for me, absolutely every fri, sat & some sundays & some midweeks too) I'm not the most technical or musicianly player but the band leader told me that "I got it across the footlights, with energy, attitude & passion". I took that & was very pleased with that compliment. 

Thats a very tidy lot of combo for very little money GLWTS

Who is hungry?

See y'all on sunday!

ooofft!

I'd really like this to be my first bash, but the recent op means I can't drive, and possibly only barely play. I think it's a non-starter...

😭

It will be worth it for the fantastic food, let alone the company & the gear! I think we've had folks come up from Devon (Plymouth way iirc) before, maybe see if you can cadge a lift?
