Where are you based?

This is a great idea, i second it

I'm currently using elixir but I miss the feel of a non coated, more toneful string, would be great to try these out

Thats beautiful, whats the spacing?

Alright, you win

Anyone that dresses up as a star wars character, gets extra cake.

Yes.

A notable attendees section has been added, everyone there should be able to attend and exhibition gear

Cheers for that, A schedule will exist.... at some point (when i know who and when)

Hello there, basschatters The current plans for the 2019 MBB are as such It'll be held on may the 4th 2019 (star wars day) at Doveridge village hall (Sand Lane, Doveridge, DE6 5JQ) Doveridge is relatively easy to access by train but there will be a short section needed to be done by taxi as the nearest station is Uttoxeter (a couple of miles down the A50) A bus does run to doveridge but its reliability is questionable. Plenty of parking is available. 1pm-5pm (ish) Theres a main hall with a stage and alphaprocreative will supply PA gear and a couple of spare bass rigs. There is also a smaller room with a kitchen for tea and coffee. This will be used for talks and the such A 5 pound entry fee on the day which will just pay for the room and any extra will go to basschat funds or a charity of basschats choice Any cake is much appreciated and so is anyone wishing to show off basses, amps, effects or even guitars. More information will be added of talks and attendees closer to the date. Please contact me if you are interested in giving a talk or want to turn up early to set up anything If you think you can make it, add your name and any gear you may bring to the list below. Please bring- Cake, enthusiasm, raffle prizes and extension leads Cheers, Jamie Notable attendees Chowny Jon Shuker Manton custom

could be interesting, as long as people are happy to travel to uttoxeter. Theres a largish village hall with plenty of parking

I'm a brass player. I'm very tempted to make a post of this in general discussion and start a basschat orchestra

well said

Is it an oil finish? If so, the oil will naturally deteriorate over time so i would recommend using a light abrasive to take off the top coat of oil and re-oiling it. Not too sure if this is the best solution though.

Indeed i have, I'll just upload them from my phone

Recently, i was fortunate enough to be able to visit Stephen Chown and try out various basses and effects. After a trip to visit family down south, i went to see him in Bristol. The office is housed in a Victorian bridge arch, which certainly beats most offices. After a while messing with basses and pedals, i brought up the point of me making some short scales. Within ten minutes, i had two chowny swb necks in my hands. At some point, a chowny swb with a carbon top will exist (watch this space) Anyway, cheers to Stephen for allowing me to attempt an swb replica, i recommend chatting to him if you ever get the chance, and hopefully visit him in Bristol again soon.

Sounds great
