I think that I am one of the few to have attended every SWBB and it has been a joy to come to your events Mike.
You, Gabby and the team have made us extremely welcome and produced a superb series of Bass Bashes.
Thank you all for your hard work. You will be missed.
I add my congratulations and thanks to @scrumpymike, Mrs Scrumpy and the Scrumpettes, and Graham on the door. Your hard work and dedication is much appreciated by us lowdowners.
Thanks also to my fellow bottom dwellers for being good company, innovative (3D printing a bass body??) and prepared to share your toys with the rest of us. A great day.
4th October 2026 is already in the diary.
@scrumpymike and his brilliant group of helpers excelled themselves again this year.
Scrumptious food (did you see what I did there?🙃) and great company.
Always an excellent day, and an opportunity to stoke up my GAS.
I was particularly taken by Scrumpymikes’ Sandberg superlight and Kevin’s Sandberg California 5 string with humbucker and P-bass style split pickups.
Kateplaysbass - what was the make of your very quirky white ‘rockabilly’ style bass please? I took a photo of it and the name on the headstock is sliding off the top of the shot 🤦🏻♂️
To Scrumpymike, Mrs Scrumpy, The Scrumpettes, fellow Bass Bashers and anyone that I have missed out - I had an excellent day, loved the multivarious gear, loved the crack, loved the scran, and loved the raffle.
Lovely.
Wow! What a shock and an absolute tragedy for his family. More so if it came out of the blue.
It just goes to show just how thin a thread we all have with this life. It could happen to any one of us at any time.
