I've not gone to one knowing there wuld be particular items for sale, but I have bought things once or twice.

A £20 note for entry and a couple of tickets should help cover costs and make a donation. 🙂

You could still drop by and say hello...

I had a brief play on a Kubicki fretless today. Sadly it was priced at £3k, so I had to give it a miss.

Well, that takes the biscuit!

Decisions - what to bring...

I was in a band a while back and the sound folks did a recording and proudly presented it; they'd completely killed the Ric tone, so I told them I never wanted to hear it again (I never did).

If you can make it do!

Ah yes - I remember that! 🙂

Last year I got there late and there was no room, so I set up on the stage.

Crikey - is there going to be enough room for everybody?

I just use Rotosound Swing Bass 40-60-80-100.

Nah - just take spare basses!

>£1k for a Thunder

"inspired by the legendary John Deacon" = nothing like anything he played.

I knew it smelt of Cologne.

The other end of the pickguard has been hacked... Well - the strap buttons don't appear to be original.

You do poke the end of the string down the shaft and bend it at a right angle, so there is a little more strength there.

Well - there's a thing. And here's another thing...

I mostly play the 2010 Jetglo and Mapleglo ones in the centre.

This was my selection a while back. The one on the end is a 5-string I bought from @6feet7, but I didn't quite gel with it and sold it back to him a year later when he had seller's remorse. I've now got another jetglo ('88) instead which I bought from some Guy. I may pick up one or two more if/when the right ones pop up...

I'm looking forward to having a go on that at the Bass Bash!

My "Hack-O-Sound" box...

@tvickey Congrats - you now have the best bass money can buy! (I have 8 - I'm a Ricaholic...)

The Japanese ones were labelled "Stereo-Sound"!
