[quote name='William James Easton' post='409332' date='Feb 14 2009, 11:48 AM']can we still buy them at the bash? or are the 'mans' rules just for basschat?[/quote] The "mans rules" are for those not arsed or unable to attend in person: if you buy tickets at the Bash you get entry to the top prizes plus a host of other goodies too. A further bonus if you attend on the day is you get to see if I am as irritating in person as I am on this thread.....

Last shout for buying these tickets and entering the Prize Draw is midnight tonight: anything donated afterwards will be regarded as just that, a donation. So buy your tickets today!!!

Flippin heck, only sold 12 tickets: those are pretty odd odds......? Got to be worth a £5........

I'm stripping a B2 and will not be using the existing pots/controls. Let me know if you need anything: having said that it is passive, they could be different and as the pickups are dead I have not tested what is the problem yet! Also had a dodgy tuner so replaced it but had to buy 4, have 3 spare tuners and 4 bridges too!

Did our monthly gig at the Old Tramshed in Saltaire: asked a few Basschatters and workmates along as it was my last day as a wage slave: have taken early retirement! Good to see Toasted, Mr Bassman, Heavyj amongst some other wellwishers too. We sound-checked "Your Love is King" having not rehearsed it together, and put it straight into the set: we have a Valentines Ball tomorrow night too so it will come iin handy along with "My Funny Valentine" and "Days of Wine and Roses".

Slightly off topic, we occasionally augment our quartet with sax and/or flugelhorn and its a real blast as they bring something extra to the mix. In the other band we have depped drummers before which is "interesting"....

Thanks. Small Print: the prize mentioned above (Passive A/B/Y box with LED indicators) is only open to those who attend the YBB in person and buys tickets for the Raffle. The Online 2 Prizes are as described and pictured in the original post ....

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='404456' date='Feb 9 2009, 04:26 PM']I'll buy on the door if thats ok. I also have a little prize to donate to the good cause.[/quote] Pray tell , then we can add it to the prize list , PM me if you don't want people to know!

[quote name='EntropicLqd' post='405354' date='Feb 10 2009, 02:03 PM']I'm still good to come. I won't get there before 13:00 though. I'll bring my Shuker, my little GK combo, and my big red Boss effects pedal. Could do with someone PM'ing me the location though (and maybe a google-map link). Otherwise I'll have to trawl through the whole thread trying to find it.[/quote] Here you are then!

Thanks to Jon I managed to win the ebay auction on new tuner bits and for some Steve Bailey pickups with EQ as well. Looks like I'm going down the route of a new body......!

Please bring an upright, Yammy if you can. Thanks for the confirmation re Sunday too!

Maybe Phil Lesh then..................?

Just to recap, 2 bloody good prizes: tickets available online for just £5.00 each! [attachment=19984:EB11.jpg] [attachment=19985:69a8ec86...57c46f15.jpg]

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='404061' date='Feb 9 2009, 09:50 AM']I'm looking doubtful now unfortunately - I joined a new band yesterday who rehearse on Sunday afternoons. I'm gonna try and persuade them to start at 3pm so I can at least have an hour at the Bash - my ears usually give up after an hour at these gatherings anyway. Be a shame to miss it cos I think it'll be a good'n.[/quote] Well if you can't make it I'm sure you'll buy a couple of Raffle Tickets.........?

A couple of quotes from the article caught my eye.... "While holidaying in the Basque country " and "shiny pink surface" Do we need to be told something?

[quote name='timloudon' post='403161' date='Feb 8 2009, 01:57 AM']That's the best bloody news I've had all year![/quote] I hope these odds will have lengthened considerably by next Sunday!
