  1. [quote name='Chownybass' timestamp='1488203911' post='3246728'] Looks like the South West is a bit of a hotbed of guitar/bass activity. I know Zilla Cabs are also based down here. It's great to see how many of us there are [/quote] Anybody on the forum got experience of Zilla cabs?
  2. [quote name='GrahamT' timestamp='1488203594' post='3246721'] Hi again Scrumpymike, I know a luthier, Graham Bradshaw, who lives and works from his home in Durston, on the Taunton-Glastonbury road. He is very experienced and a lovely guy. If you look at his website he has photos of a pair of Hohner headless basses (4 string lined fretless and 5 string fretted) that he has conjoined into one instrument for a customer - Awesome! He is interested in coming along to meet us at the bash, show some of the work that he is doing atm and talk luthiery. [email protected] Graham [/quote] Thanks Graham, I've just sent him an e-mail - and he's a useful contact to have as the other local I was using (Kim Webber) is sadly no longer with us. Not had any reply from Mike Gillett btw and he's not answering his phone. Wonder if he's taking exhibiting at this year's London show.
  3. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1488137144' post='3246227'] Hi, only just spotted this and right now I can't find my diary! Put me down as a a probable... (Fender Jazz, DA Bass Tele and maybe some other stuff) [/quote] Done. PS Didn't know we had a sex farm just up the road
  4. List updated to add Woodinblack's G&L 2500 (subject to car space ) and funky8884.
  5. A total disgrace! Good luck with the damage-limitation exercise.
  6. [quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1488016226' post='3244997'] Always liked the look of them as well, shame I'm skint ( and too far away). GLWS [/quote] But those are just minor details
  7. [quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1488014286' post='3244970'] If this drops below £300 let me know please [/quote] Thanks for your interest - not planning price to drop further but if it does I will!
  8. OK guys, been busy this morning - and we have commemorative merchandise! Message on back of mug (in more artistic fonts) is: [center][i][b]Bash[/b][/i][/center] [center][b]yer[/b][/center] [center][b]Bass![/b][/center]
  9. [quote name='GrahamT' timestamp='1488027599' post='3245141'] Scrumpymike - Please update my entry on the list - I will be bringing my Ashbory bass and my mint condition Crafter BA580EQ 5 string electric acoustic bass for sale. Also, if anyone has a Fender P or P/J 5 string or a G&L 2500 I would love to try these. Ta, Graham [/quote] Done.
  10. That really looks the part
  11. [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1487963863' post='3244695'] Wow this is unmissable. Will a day be enough time? [/quote] Don't think there's much danger of anybody getting bored and leaving early that's for sure
  12. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1487887410' post='3243994'] I'll have my camera as I'm probs thinking this could be kinda cool for my YouTube channel so I'm happy to get a few pics of the day and gear [/quote] Good stuff - I'm sure there'll be a few more photographers (me for one) to share the load.
  13. MoJoKe and BassBod added to the list - we're up to 34 now Re food, we've had a few kind offers of contributions but no need thanks - we're on top of it and will make sure there's enough for everybody. Provisional menu is: [b]Continuous tea/coffee; sausage rolls; home-made veggie soup; chicken & ham pie*; home-made cheese coleslaw; home-made ratatouille; jacket tatties; home-baked banana loaf and apple cake.[/b] [i]*our local butcher's finest[/i] The aim is to cover our costs with any balance being donated to a suitable charity. The way the numbers are shaping up, the £10 a head entrance takings should be enough to do that.
  14. [quote name='GrahamT' timestamp='1487852973' post='3243523'] Scrumpymike- Mike Gillett of Gillett Guitars is only just up the road near Bridgwater (I think it's Enmore) and i'm sure he would be happy to bring along his awesome acoustic basses. I had a play on some at the 2016 Bass Show. They are stunning and by far the best acoustic bass that I have tried. Mike's number is 01278 233010. [email protected] ..just a suggestion. G [/quote] Wow, they look a bit special - great suggestion!! Invitation sent to Mike via his website contact address. Just up the road from me and I didn't even know about him.
  15. [quote name='Jabba_the_gut' timestamp='1487848962' post='3243466'] Sounds good. I'll aim to come with some home built basses from the 'Build Diaries'. Cheers [/quote] Great stuff! List updated accordingly.
  16. "Larry Coryell, one of jazz fusion's pioneering guitarists, died Sunday in his New York City hotel room of natural causes, according to his publicist. He had played gigs on Friday and Saturday night at the city's Iridium club and had a spate of summer tour dates on the horizon with his group the Eleventh House." Good to know he died with his boots on!
  17. I've invited Scott Whitley too in case it fits in with his gigging schedule or possibly a meeting with Stephen Chown (Scott recently transferred the SWB-1 business to him). He says he'd like to come and I'm really hoping he'll be able to make it. I've got a pre-Chowny SWB-1 and it really is a neat bass.
  18. David Koenig of Retrovibe has just confirmed that he'll be coming along with a selection of his stuff!
  19. Time to give the Rascal a bump!
  20. As someone who gigged Gibson basses for decades, what really does my head in about the current generation of Gibson management is that they've inherited an iconic brand and pissed it up against a wall (at least the bass side of things). In business terms, that's a very clumsy thing to do and as an ex-marketing guy I find it completely unfathomable. They've squandered a heritage that most companies could only dream of.
  21. [quote name='Jimrs2k2' timestamp='1487539938' post='3240673'] Hi all, Count me in . [/quote] You're in at number 30 - p1 list updated.
