[quote name='Stingray5' timestamp='1465332297' post='3067334'] Just need to correct the last post made by jabba_the_gut as Grangur and myself were (mistakenly I'm sure ) removed from the list. Ooh look, just one more needed to hit the big three-oh! [/quote] Thanks Stevie! A couple of years ago, we had about 70 people through the door on the day - I think it was when Dave Swift & Paul Geary came and did a talk.. So, being an eternal optimist, I'm hoping we can kind of match that this year or maybe exceed it.. Which would be good given it's the 10th one and all..

Really enjoying this show, actually. Peter Hook is a cool dude. Absolutely loved The Caffreys; doing 'Don't You Want Me' in Sheffield was a stroke of genius! And great to see WoT doing his thing..

[quote name='smaz' timestamp='1465724339' post='3070431'] I thought it was a day crèche - for bass players? [/quote] Very true!

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1465659928' post='3070047'] This is a weekend I have my son so will play it by ear, I've missed so many now I really want to come along but I can't see Theo enjoying it for more than ten minutes [/quote] It'd be great to see you Merton, but a Bash is not the most child friendly of environments, I agree. Maybe we need a crèche?

Saturday morning BUMP!

Very, very long story short... Muzz bought a Tech 21 Landmark 300 head from me back in March that got damaged in transit. UPS was the courier (booked via Interparcel) and given that it was very well packaged up and in it's own flight case, they really must have thrown it around to cause the damage they did! Moving swiftly on.. It's taken the best part of 3 months to have the insurance claim go through, and the amp has been repaired now - though that work was done almost immediately because I wanted to ensure Muzz could use the amp safely. Anyway, through that long and very drawn out process, Muzz has been an absolute pleasure to deal with; very helpful in terms of making the claim, very patient and good-humoured, and most important of all, very understanding of the situation. In addition, Muzz has been extremely honest and fair over everything and I really can't recommend him highly enough to everyone here on Basschat! Deal with in absolute and complete confidence.. Thanks very much Mark; not the most pleasant of situations, but thanks for everything and making it so much better than it could have been. Cheers Nik

Looking good Folks!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1465207361' post='3066029'] Morning all...just back from delivering the proceeds from yesterday to the Centre Manager - you managed to raise £641.25 for the venue which the centre can use to provide materials and services to young people in the area. They have a recently refurbished Music studio which will almost certainly benefit from the funds. raised. I thank you all.. [/quote] Fantastic work! Congratulations on another successful Bash, Mick...

Can't be there today Mick, but hope it goes really well..

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1465024481' post='3064685'] I wish I were Nik but I'm going to be up a mountain in the Alps that week. I don;t have much luck with the SE Bashes do I! [/quote] No problem, Chris... A week in the Alps sounds very nice indeed. Mind you, since I haven't seen you at any Basschat Bash since the national one in 2007, I'm wondering if you're still in a state of shock and post traumatic stress disorder because of that guy who played non-stop slap bass for about 4 hours!?

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1465024222' post='3064681'] Nick, given one of the very special guests do you mind if I plug ther Bash on the Facebok Wal page again (along with an encouragement to join in the forum fun too)? Cheers. Oh, and Bumpitty Bump... [/quote] Great idea, Trevor, so please do..

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1464439152' post='3059470'] Thank you for taking the time to listen and your kind comments. If you like the Belew slant in that, then have a listen to this which was straight off the desk from our last gig.... [url="https://soundcloud.com/warren-byatt/what-in-the-world-final-mix"]https://soundcloud.c...world-final-mix[/url] [/quote] Fabulous version! As a life-long Bowie fan (and still in a state of mourning to be honest), that has brought a smile to my face this morning.. Particularly because it's a Bowie tune that doesn't get much attention compared to all of his hits . Whereabouts are you based by the way?

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1464372580' post='3059022'] Still not 100% I can make it, but I'll pay the cover either way [/quote] Very kind of you, good Sir!
