That's a great sound! -
My lad's not coming now, so if you take a sharpie and write on the bottom of one of the strips "Sponsored by David R, who would rather stay in bed", you can keep the door fee I paid for him 😉
-
It's bad enough shouting for "Panda", "Pandora" would be dreadful!
-
B - for the same reason that @Reggaebass gives. A nice problem to have though. Could you have a veneer cut from the side you choose for the back, so you can use it on another build later?
-
She's known as Panda, Pandora was the name the cat sanctuary gave her.
-
😱 Pandora is my cat!

It's "Lord I lift your name ON high", not "I lift your name WHILE high" 🤪
-
There's more space in the car now as I'm only bringing the one bass and amp and my lad has had to decline.
-
Can do, it depends on the amps but most people are sensible. ( it's not a guitar show) At the last Midlands Bash we had a "No amps during lunch or the talks" rule which worked really well. A few folks brought headphone amps, so they got shared around a bit if I remember correctly.
-
I'm thinking I shall just bring the HB with the Roland V-bass system fitted, and an amp. The Brawleys are really nice to play, and unusual, but I think more people will be interested in the V-bass.
-
Good movie that, though not as good as 2. Thanks Stubbs - I wondered how I would recognise @neepheid at the bash.

< Something odd gone on with this post. Ignore it>
-
That was part of the reason for avoiding May. That and I have a holiday booked and two 90th birthday parties to organise! -
Do you have time to 3D print a pantechnicon?
-
Very. Pick 5 and one amp. You can bring a different set to the midlands bash in 2026. 🤪
-
OK, lets DO THIS! 🤘
-
Right - 2026 is the year we're going to actually going to do this! Updated 13th Ocober: The hall is now booked 🥳 The date: Saturday 20th June 2026. The venue: https://bentleyheathhall.co.uk/ The address: Widney Rd, Bentley Heath, Solihull B93 9BQ Link to Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kN4xPQQe35cHTNKbA Probably 10:00 to about 16:00 as usual.
-
Bently Heath charge £180 for a full day 9:30am-6:00pm and seem to have availability in April and June. I shall start a new thread, see what dates suit people, and then - as there will be no consensus - just book a weekend anyway!
-
That's a great blue! What colour is that in their range?
-
I did a quick search for "A duck playing bass guitar" Of course I got this:
-
We had several rubber floor mats at church that we used to use over cable runs, before I rewired the stage with sockets on top and cables underneath. I'll see if I can find them. That's looks decent quality and good value. I might just order a length anyway
-
Waiting on Bentley Heath for prices and availability. Closer to the middle than other suggestions so far 😉 May is completely out for me due to two 90th birthday parties on successive weekends and half term. April is possible (when is Easter 2026?) 3rd week in June looks good.
-
Ponders @Owen's view on south of Brum being more accessible.... Also ponders the concept of @Stub Mandrel and the Glamorgan Massive...
-
If others are volunteering to organise in Derby then I'll let them. Otherwise the hall I know of appears to be available on 20th June and I'll ask about the cost.
