Did that Salvador Dali play with "The Surrealists"?

[quote name='timloudon' date='Feb 7 2009, 12:54 PM' post='402765'] One ticket for me please! Thanks for that, you currently have a 1:11 chance of winning either prize!

I'm indiedifferent about them.

[quote name='aj5string' post='402054' date='Feb 6 2009, 02:55 PM']just bought me 2 tickets....[/quote] Thanks, I assume you'll not be driving up on the day then....?

[attachment=19862:capt_kir...96147065.jpg] Kirk: You have a gift for understatement, Mister Spock. It's not a very pleasant prospect at all.

Surprised there have not been more tickets bought so far: given we have sold 10 tickets and around 30 people are coming to the Bass Bash the odds of winning one of these top items are pretty damn good whether you are attending in person or just buying on-line....?

If I bring some tissues will you buy them?

[quote name='William James Easton' post='401919' date='Feb 6 2009, 12:14 PM']is anybody bringing gear they are trying to sell?[/quote] Definitely around 10 Cold Heat battery operated soldering guns ( just the thing for your toolbox at £6.99) and a feeler on my Hartke LH500 valve preamp head ( assuming I get the LMII back by then...!)

[quote name='artisan' post='401926' date='Feb 6 2009, 12:27 PM']i nearly always use flats on my passive Fenders but i was wondering what my deluxe P would sound like with flats on it. yes ok i'm too tight to buy a set & try them,i am a Yorkshire man after all. also would they be ok strung throught body or would i be better top loading them, cheers.[/quote] I'll bring my Rick Turner Electroline to the YBB: it's strung with flats, long scale, active and 5 strings!

£50 so far, another £450 to go....bump

These include: Unused Tapco DI Box Pre-loved Digitech Bass Squeeze ( with new battery) Homemade A/B/Y Box Some CD's including mine and Phil's Bands. Superman Bassist T Shirt (Medium, that should rule out most!) Coldheat Soldering Gun The Bass Book 45 RPM Collectors item Whammy by Big Boy Bloater The Entwistle Bass Collection( if only, just the book!) plus a few other items yet to be confirmed..nudge, nudge!

Just to dispel the myth of tight Yorkshire folk and to continue the tradition of raising money for charitable causes the Yorkshire Bass Bash are offering 2 superb items from their Prize Draw Raffle across all of Basschat for those who cannot/will not attend the Bash on Sunday 15th February. The items are a s/h Fretless Epiphone Gibson EB1 with gig bag, strap and stand [attachment=19728:EB11.jpg] A brand new Ashdown Freebass Wireless kit (optimised for bass frequencies) [attachment=19730:69a8ec86...57c46f15.jpg] A £5.00 donation at: [url="http://www.justgiving.com/yorkshirebassbash"]http://www.justgiving.com/yorkshirebassbash[/url] will buy you one ticket into the Prize Draw which will be held live at the Bass Bash. We obviously hope you will donate more than £5.00 and buy more than 1 ticket! Tickets from both pre-sales and on the day will be combined for the 1st and 2nd Prize Draws. We will only accept donations on [url="http://www.justgiving.com/yorkshirebassbash"]http://www.justgiving.com/yorkshirebassbash[/url] up to 12.00 pm on Saturday 14th February for the Prize Draw, anything after that will not be eligible for the Prize Draw unless bought on the day at the Bash (but will still be appreciated). Gift Aid is added to your donation so the Charity "Live Music Now" also receive a nice windfall from your money. Gift Aid is however not eligible to be claimed for Prize Draws or Raffles........ Visit Live Music Now on [url="http://www.livemusicnow.org.uk/"]http://www.livemusicnow.org.uk/[/url] to find out more about our nominated charity! The winning ticket holders will be responsible for all shipping costs. Results of the Prize Draw Raffle will be posted on this site. I'd rather not do Paypal due to their fees but anyone without a debit or credit card for Just Giving could send me a cheque providing it will clear before the Prize Draw date of February 15th 2009.

Post 145 now updated! Apologies to all....

I went to see them at St Georges Hall (or was it the rock venue that closed whose name escapes me?) in Bradford many years ago, my first metal? gig 2 things struck me: one was the stench of smelly leather jackets/dope/BO from the fans, the other was the power drill solo. Didn't he catch his hair once? Oh, and BS was good to watch though not really my cup of chai

Ahem...moving on, look out for details shortly of the Prize Draw for an Epiphone EB1 and an Ashdown Wireless Unit.(both generously donated by Rhino) Those of you unable to attend the Yorkshire Bass Bash on February 15th in Harrogate will be able to buy tickets [b]in advance [/b]with all proceeds going to Live Music Now. We have set up a Just Giving web page that will also add Gift Aid to your donation. Those who attend on the day can purchase tickets too and have an equal chance of winning with their donations being sent on to Live Music Now Don't donate yet , I'll post a new message when all is in place!
