Paging @jebroad

May well be looking hopeful for late summer (so long as bozza's plan sticks). If everyone's happy with the idea, i can send some emails and try to get the same venue as the previous bash.

Any idea what firmware it's on?

Just released my first single.

It's hard to describe so I'll let you decide the genre 😂

May I just be clever and interject with the fact that the top 3 active people's video feed is shown as you always see your own.

scrumpymike has just done the same for the SW Bash, @jebroad  

The way it's all going, I think there's an inevitability TBH. 

Have you outlaid any cash yet you wouldn't be able to recoup?  If so, I and I'm sure others would be happy to chip in.

I haven't paid out anything yet so that's not an issue.

Given the current climate of the Coronavirus, I'm considering postponing or cancelling this years violent collision of bassists. 

Update:

Carbon rods and truss rods in. Fretboard glued 

I'd have one 

Progress 

Any suggestions on luthiers or such who we could invite this year?

The fusion do look very good, but they're double the current price of the defender.

Maybe we should have a "gig bag comparison corner" at the Midlands Bass Bash. @jebroad? 😁

Why not, how about a worst quality gig bag contest? I'm sure to win that

Steel has many obvious impracticalities, how about a few layers of carbon fiber laminated onto a wooden fretboard which is radiused before hand?https://www.cycfi.com/2010/10/compound-radius-fretboard/

OK, I now seem to be ready to create that Facebook event! If I enter the postcode in the location field on the Event, FB gives me this:

St.Cuthbert's Pre-School Playgroup Doveridge

Is it correct?

And the date is 09/05/2020, am I right?

Ta.

I can confirm this and I attended this playgroup 13 years ago

Right, the hall looks free for the 9th. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

This may be far out but I’m toying with the concept of a Viger or Le fay like stainless steel fretboard. Maybe construct a thinner, flat timber fretboard on top of the neck and then 2-3mm of stainless steel on top. Not sure about created a radius with that, however. Possible a radius block with emery?

@jebroad is this still being held on the original date?

Unlikely but I'm seeing what can be done

Bare in mind, the bass will be fretless so I'm thinking of having horizontal LED lit markers to indicated the frets where inlays would normally be eg. 3,5,7

What would everyone think of status style wrap around LED markers but on the treble side? Kind of ruins the point of wrap around markers but I dont want a whopping great channel through the bass side of the neck (may compromise stiffness).

Full size body design 

I could book another weekend, of course. If anyone objects to the weekends either side- let me know 

Dont know if theres a rack thread already but I thought I'd take some inspiration on units to fill an empty rack.

Get posting!
