If you like a bit of DIY, then build a fearful 12/6 , you will never look back. Jim.

Well some of you guys came to the last one, so no excuses for getting lost. It's the retreat / ashcott inn, on the A39, nice and easy to find for those who didn't attend last year. With a bit of luck Phil Starr might be able to chime in and give the cabs a work out. This is all provisional and no dates are booked, but if someone wanted to throw some around ? Jim.

Hi all, I spose I could set up something again in ashcott. Fairly equal distant between Bristol and bath, big car park and good beer. Let me know. Jim.

Hi all, don't overlook the greenboy fearfull / fearless range of cabs, either can be built from light weight materials and apart from the similar barefaced cabs will pound almost everything else into the ground and still not fart out. Check out tricky audio for the fearless range, or speaker builder for the fearfull. Good luck.

Well it seemed a good idea at the time, Bump.

Hi everyone, well this has gone a bit quiet so i think a bump is required.

Hiya norm, So ya found it this time

Hi everyone, Yea im in, just let me know where and when. Jim.

The fearful 12/12/6/1 will give you a fantastic cab, easy to move and well sized, plus a proven record. The cab will eat 2kw if you ever needed to, tho to be honest 500 w would be stupid loud. I run a 15/6/1 plus a 15 sub when needed but the 15/6/1 is enough or 99 percent of gigs that i have ever done, its truly immense for its size and very very stong as it was built for to gigging player. The plus factor is that the plans are free and you can build them yourself, every thing is easily available. Jim.

Hi bassbadger, no invite required, people just had to turn up lol. While it was only a small event with some people unable to attended it was still better than the bass guitar show! No really, there was was some beautiful instruments there and some quality amp and cabs to be honest, from that amazing little amp of woodinblacks to andys immense sounding pedals and 810 cab. If anyone wanted to know what you really needed to gig, this was the place to find it without all the marketing crap, oh and being able to talk to guys who know about there gear. Seriously, your basses were / are great value for money and thanks for brining them along for us to pull apart lol. Thanks everyone. Jim

Hi everyone, A big thanks to all who turned up, it was a fair turnout. The venue lends its self well to this kind of thing, being easy to find and a big car park etc. I have to say a big thankyou to david (retrovibe) for his informal chat on the back story of his creations, ( i do however have to amdmit at being quite impressed by his basses). Anyway thanks again and see you next time, right im off to work. Jim.

Hi mornats, plenty of room mate see you there. Jim.

Yep, bar snacks, 3 course meals, tea coffee etc, o and beer and ciders )

Ok everyone, it looks like we have a guest speaker. David from probass, ie retrovibe bass guitars will be bring a few of his bass with him to try, and has agreed to have a chat with us etc. Thanks and see you soon, jim.

Hi, the date is 12th october,from 1 pm, the retreat pub in ashcott, just on the A39 to street , TA7 9QQ.

Phil starr, shame you can't make it, the cab would have been given a fair workout i reckon.

Good stuff everyone, i reckon it will be a bass gear show as much as anything. Keep them coming.

Good stuff woodinblack, don't forget the 505 I reckon a few people will want have a look at the Dingwall.

Ok guys, i can confirm the 12th oct. I picked a sunday to give anyone gigging the night before a chance of getting there. If you can attend, feel free to tease us with what you might bring )

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1411509231' post='2560317'] Oh thats pretty convenient to get to, and I know where it is. 19th is the only day in october when I am away but if it is the 12th count me in. [/quote] Ok lets say the 12th then, i will confirm later tomorrow.

[quote name='fordbass' timestamp='1411504719' post='2560255'] Cheers jimrs2k, not sure if the talent is there either but I do enjoy playing and the crowds we play to seem to agree lol, not being big headed I hope! [/quote] Ha, im sure your just being modest, but a small amount bull poo and thread derails are required under the rules anyway, so see you there. Im.

Hi, steve, don't worry about things like gear. No amount of kit can make up for lack of talent!, trust me in know Everyone is welcome, thats the idea of these meets.

Cool, keep em coming, hopefuly norm will chime in as it will take him at least 5 mins to get there.
