When you have had a petition raised against you that calls you out specifically by name, there's bugger all that you can call me that will offend me. For the avoidance of doubt, this was about me taking over all the IT and networking at Central St Martins as well as the other four colleges that make up the University of Arts for London and dragging them kicking and screaming into the 20th century. This was 97 or 98. Things like email, networks faster than 64kb, new hr system etc etc. I'd insisted that we weren't going to wait five years but it was going to be done in six months. A few studios and their shop got closed for a while. Apparently I was despised as I wasn't an artist but a mere technician. They were right but I did it. There may well have been a protest meeting. I've had people trying to sack me on more than one occasion. I've had people talking about "that Rob Willett" not realised I.was in the meeting (DWP and DCS), that was a fun one and elicited a response and apology afterwards. I've has people screaming at me that I didn't understand Agile. That bloke went off long term with a nervous breakdown. I've been acussed of racism when I caught a burglar doing my flat over in Brixton. That's one of the few times in my life I've actually lost my temper as I'm not. I'm still here, still fully employed with more work than I can handle it. toy-bass fetishist is a bit weak. Come on try harder.

Been called a lot worse...

Add me down. I'm @neepheid gofer Westone Thunder bass Westone Thunder guitar 3d printed headless bass 3d printed guitar Fender Jazz MIJ 97 Fender Jazz bitsa active Fender Strat MIJ 87 Fender Mustang bass Ibanez Mikro bass I have some interesting ideas for my next 3d printed bass but that's dependent on pulling finger out. I might acquire some small amps before then or I might not. Yes I swing both ways and play guitar and bass. I've no pride whatsoever.

Nope. Just brought a nice natural finish Westone Thunder 1 bass (non active) to match my Westone Thunder guitar. Been looking for one for some time and got it from this very parish. Just built a lovely black jazz with a lovely old neck, lightweight gotoh tuners, hi mass bridge, luthier body, bare knuckle pickups and a John East preamp. That's a very, very nice bass with a great sound. Which means I now have to sell a very nice and very light Ibanez bass and an active and a very nice active Harley Benton bass to get the various instruments down to 14 which appears to be t'other half's imposed limit. I quite fancy a Sunn but am thinking about my next 3d printed bass. I have some interesting ideas for the build and I'm going to see if I can get it done for the SW Bass Bash.

Now reduced by 42% 😊

Well if you see a cheap non-white one, put a link on here please 😊 The last time I looked they were circa £100-£150.

I don't know much about them but that seems expensive. Is it?

I had a play on a Vox Starstream at the NW Bass Bash last year. Great bass. Hope you being it to the SW bash

Oh oh cocked that one up already

Bring passport and keg of cider. I'm coming from the North West though. Not sure how I'll fit in. I'll probably have to get a smock and and practise my drawl 😊

58th time lucky?

I'm now slimming the herd down. I've brought a Westone Thunder bass to match my Westone guitar, I've built a Geddy Lee Jazz bitsa and think some of them basses need to go. I also want/need a guitar amp and not sure whether to get a Headrush 112 with a Tonex/Mod Dwarf or a Boss Katana. Decisions, decisions, decisions....

I am.

Just spoken to my diary secretary/CEO/partner in crime and she's OK with me going AWOL for the weekend. So am planning to come down now. The only hassle is coming back as I probably have to go to work on Monday. @neepheid we probably need to discuss how to break the space-time continuum and work how to get everything into your car or we simply take my larger estate 😊 I'll probably bring 3d printed headless bass 3d printed six string Westone Thunder Bass and matching Westone Thunder six string Probably one or two others. I'll bring a couple of pedalboards as well. If people are interested in a custom made pedal board, absolutely made to measure for sensible donations to charity, let me know. Also if we are looking to do 'work' I'm happy to run a software and hardware IT clinic. If people have issues let me know in advance so I can see if I can help. Rob
