Just checked all pic's and haven't got one. It belongs to JohnDaBass and I'm sure he'll post a pic on here if we ask nicely - I've pinged him a PM.

S-s Maruszczyk or Sandberg.

More pic's!

I've said how much I enjoyed the cab shoot-out and the LFSys cabs - but very remiss of me not to have thanked the people who made it happen: so thanks to Phil and Stevie. For me, the VERY BEST thing of all is that I didn't need to lift a finger to make it happen 😊

OK guys, couldn't resist a slide show of Janey's 246 pic's - here's a few before bedtime!

Thanks Smanth, so very pleased you were able to come along.

Oops! Two more highlights I missed: listening to Dave 'Revving' the DB, and talking to Knighty about the classic motorbikes he and his dad own - but that's a whole other story ☺️

Just gathered ourselves up off the sofa and jumped (OK, crawled!!) onto the Bash topic. Thanks for your kind words. We had an absolute blast as always. They're always really enjoyable but on a subjective level this Bash was the best so far. Brilliant to see the regulars back plus some new faces and the usual array of superb gear. My highlights were playing Stewie's Reverends (tempted), Keith's Acinonyx, the cab shoot-out, learning from Stevie that my choice of 'best shoot-out cab' was actually the cheaper one he makes 🙂 - and seeing PeaTurgh draw the raffle ticket that won his son a bass 👏. Mrs. Scrumpy (aka Gabrielle) wants you to know that she is so grateful for the appreciative comments received both at the hall and on here. Back to the sofa - we feel we've earned it. Janey's pics will follow tomorrow.

Just a quick shout-out to Stevie and Phil. The stage area is yours to share so feel free to decide between you how you want to set your stuff up and just go for it when you get there.

Actually, the more I think about this, the more I like the idea... so let's pretend the start time is 9am 🙂 Seriously though, many hands make light work, so any early arrivals will be very welcome. Hey Frank, if we play our cards right, we'll be the ones sat with our feet up enjoying breakfast and a natter 😉

And the prize goes to Woody for correctly answering that proceedings start at 10am. Mind you, we'll be there from around 8.30 and the doors will be open, but beware! If you come in early, you'll be helping us set up. Mind you, you will also get your breakfast 😋

Correct - just to withdraw them 🙂

BASH NEWS BULLETIN! Got a very interesting PM from 'our' Stevie, as follows: "Here's a heads-up on some of the cabs I'll be bringing with me on Sunday: https://www.lfsys.co.uk . I've not announced this development on Basschat yet but will be doing so during the course of this week (now done, see Affiliates section - Mike). I guess this means that the officlal world premier of LFSys bass cabs will be at the SW Bash😊." Needless to say, I dived straight onto Stevie's website - and I really liked what I saw! Basically, what he's done is to small-batch-productionise two version of the 12" home-build cab project that's known to many on this forum and features regularly at our S-W Bashes. The rationale is pretty obvious: lots of people have been telling Stevie how impressed they are with the self-build cab but don't have the time or skill to take it on. Most of them go on to say that they'd buy into it if someone would build it for them. Well, now Stevie is that someone in the guise of LFSys. Won't spoil it by telling you any more, but suffice to say that they look the business from what I've seen on the website. Can't wait to see and hear them on Sunday! A NEW-PRODUCT WORLD PREMIER AT THE S-W BASS BASH? I need to go and have a lie-down! Hang on a minute, there's chienmortbb's range of cables too! This calls for an extra-large portion of Mrs. Scrumpy's crumble! (Don't worry guys, there'll be plenty left for you 🙂 )

NOW ON HOLD: Fusion gig-bag; car roof bars; trolley jack.

BASH NOTICE I hesitate to bring the (new) 'c'-word into what is meant to be - and will be - a joyous occasion BUT... It's getting to the time of year when we can expect the covid numbers to go up again. If you're not feeling right, please consider taking a test before coming to the Bash as a precautionary measure. Mentioning no names (me!), some of us are getting towards our 'best before' date, so RESPECT please 🙂. We'll make sure there's ventilation and plenty of sanitizer on hand, so you can put some on YOUR hands. If you want to wear a mask, please bring one. Anyone who's pre-paid but doesn't attend cos they're not feeling well WILL get their money back, no questions asked. OK, that's my last word on the subject, I promise.

Yep, from the voting that's looking like a good compromise.

Here's the T-shirt pic (see p1 of topic for full details) BUT the shirt you've already ordered was the last 2XL ☹️

Thanks Bernard, can't wait!

Dohhh - missed that! Now added 👍

OK, so here's the moment we've all been waiting for - the unveiling of the 2022 menu 🙂 If this doesn't cater for your dietary requirements, just let me know by PM what you need! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 22.docx

NOW ON HOLD: Fusion gig-bag and car roof bars.

NOW ON HOLD: Fusion gig-bag

Off topic I know but we've got to cover the cost of the remaining T-shirts somehow 🙂. We're having a massive clear-out at home and some of this stuff may be just what someone's looking for. Just PM me re anything of interest and I'll bring to the Bash. Pre-move sale.docx

Never too late (except maybe after 4pm on Sunday October 9th). If you can pay in advance as many others have, it will help as we have already settled hall hire have to buy food this week. Just pm me and I'll send you details.

Sure! See you mate.
