D'yer think my new missus will mind me popping in for a few hours? Might need to do some explaining as to why there's a bass and amp in the car on the way down This will be the second Bash I've missed - last year it was my sister's turn to tie the knot that weekend All the best Ian [/quote] Could be the shortest marriage on record if you try to come to the Bash, Ian?

Does anyone have any kit to try out this experiment? [/quote] Sounds like a great idea ! It'd also be good to hear some different basses & different rigs A/B'd against each other when played in the Jam Room with a drummer .

Cool ideas folks! So it's a yes to: 1) A drummer 2) The bass synth workshop idea and 3) the vocals one too Thanks Nik
