Thanks yet again Silvia, A brilliant blog and some great photos of a great day.. Not sure what Trevor's complaining about regarding the photos though - he's obviously missed the second one you put up of me where I look like I'm trying to play bass after a triple dose of diazepam! 😁 Anyway, thanks again for putting this together - it really brings back just how fantastic some of the gear was at this Bash and what a good day it was. And as you say, here's to next year's Bash!😊 Nik

Thanks Joni, I was only following your equally precise instructions! 😁 Hope you're enjoying the bass... Nik

Sold my Schecter to Joni recently in a very pleasant and hassle free transaction. Suffice to say that Joni's been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish; great communication throughout, fast payment and he even organised the shipping to Hungary via DPD. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Joni again and would highly recommend him to others here on Basschat. Thanks again Joni and I hope you enjoy the bass - she's a really good one! 😊 All the best, Nik

I have known John a long time here on Basschat, but more in the capacity of trusted/respected Forum member and font of knowledge about many bass related things... Anyway, back in July I sold a Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 amp to John which arrived in a terrible state, (no) thanks to UPS and their careless, thoughtless couriers... Turned out that the amp wasn't working properly and the rack case was in absolute bits! To cut a very, very long story short, John - after over 3 months of waiting - is finally in possession of one working Bassbase 600 and a new rack bag, which is great news! To say that he has the 'patience of a saint' would be to do a disservice to John because, as well as possessing that very fine quality, he's also been really understanding about the whole situation, kept in touch and been a pleasure to deal with throughout. So, thank you very much for everything John and for those who haven't dealt with John yet here on Basschat, have no doubts at all because he is an absolute gentleman and a scholar to deal with. Thanks again for your patience John and I hope that you are now getting a chance to enjoy the Bassbase finally. 😊 Nik

Like a few folks here, I've only just got around to listening to a BC Podcast - the second one with the Wal feature - and I really enjoyed it.. 😊 The interview with @TrevorR was excellent; very informative and insightful even for someone like me who already knew a lot of the Wal back story... And well done Trevor for giving Wal, Pete the Fish and now Paul and his team the recognition and praise they richly deserve! Thanks also @Akio Dāku and @Sibob for the rest of the podcast and especially the piece about Dave Hall. I didn't know that Dave had passed away so whilst being very shocked and saddened to hear the news, it was lovely to hear your stories about his excellent products and his even more excellent customer service and the time he spent listening to their needs. RIP Dave. By the way, got to say that in terms of audio quality, the the podcast sounds great! Will go back now and check out the first one and am looking forward to number 3... Nik

Yes to this Paul ! My thoughts exactly about testing basses and rigs - it needs to be done in context...
