That's quite a thing to have just up in the attic! Looking forward to a New Bass Day post from @daveybass 😁 -
Thank you, @Stub Mandrel. That sent me down an Internet rabbit hole of large musical instruments, strange musical instruments in science fiction, strange musical instruments in reality, and various other diversions. I have resurfaced bearing this completely irrelevant but amusing link for everyone: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/latest/weirdest-musical-instruments/ Enjoy.

I've found that everyone is always very respectful of each others' gear and generous with their own. I have played Dingwalls, Walls, Alembics (!), Swifts,AGCs, Overwaters,... all sorts of expensive or irreplaceable instruments. None of which I would ever have been able to compare or play anywhere else.

Following, though it's unlikely I will be there. Things to do on the day: Play basses Talk rubbish, sometimes about basses Eat cake Have a raffle (donated musical odds and sods, proceeds to charity) Have some sort of demo/comparison/talk thing, preferably related to basses Talk more Take photos Help pack up Drive home happy.

I would create a new thread called NW Bash Bash 2024, so it's clear there is a new event being planned. The mods can pin it so it doesn't get lost, and then when you have a date you can update the title with that as well. They'll be a Midlands 2024 thread started when I get round to it.
-
TBC, as it requires us to actually pick a date. The last one was 22 April, which seemed to be OK, and Easter is a week earlier this year. If May works for you then we'll avoid May and look at either April of June. 20-25 people is a good number for a bash, don't worry if it's fewer. And it's not a competition 😁
-
Yes! Just need to get ourselves organised!
-
Mid May is when we were possibly looking at a Midlands Bash, but as it happens that is chaotic for me already. Following this thread so we don't clash. 👍 @petecarlton FYI.

I don't know if Ped will repeat this run, but they are perfect.

Welcome aboard! I have a soft spot for "Southern Rock", as it gets called, and I do like Blackberry Smoke. They played my home town of Birmingham, England last year and I missed them. ☹️

Welcome aboard! Photos please - that's a lovely collection .

Need help with an Aria Sinsonido bass electronics
Richard R replied to K Barad's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks @sandy_r. I couldn't remember if it was a separate bolt-on neck or was a single piece of wood for body and neck. Like a through-neck but without anything to go through. Looking at the headstock end it is now obvious there are the little maple "wings" just beyond the nut. 🙂 -
Need help with an Aria Sinsonido bass electronics
Richard R replied to K Barad's topic in Repairs and Technical
Slightly off the main topic- what wood is the Sinsonido made from? And is it one piece with the neck? -
The writer has now created lead line and chord charts, so if you want to try it out I'll get copies over.
-
This is super impressive. It's almost a shame that you're going to fill the seams and paint it, having all the structure and guts on show would be great.
-
So it is!
-
For which we are thankful, otherwise you might not have been around to be on BC. 👍

^^^^^^^^^ This! You were lucky not to have poisoned yourself!

Zion Calling Death and Glory The Nuns of Brixton
-
Have any of you actually listened to the song? 🤣
-
Yep! So does the person who wrote it!
-
I Sought The Lord Sunday morning, and a new song. Not one of mine, and not me on bass, but quite fun and I thought you might enjoy it. (Young lad on the trumpet has only played with the band once before, not bad going) Joy (after the service)
-
Oh come on, you can't tease us like that! Why aren't you allowed near white spirit?
-
Nice! 👌

Following with interest. Don't overdo it while recovering. I was informed by a surgeon a long time ago: "Boredom and watching DVDs are both essential parts of the healing process "
