Crikey, this looks like being bigger than the S.E. Bash.....anyone know any famous Bassists to invite along ( present company excepted!)?

I'm hoping that one or two might make themselves known on this thread - maybe they already have?! Anyway, I'm bringing an (unworn) Elite Strings T-shirt signed by a famous bass player (Stuart Zender) to go in the raffle. It will only be of interest to other Mikes though as he dedicated it to me - "To Mike - Respect!" IIRC :rolleyes:

Did I say raffle? Oh yes, there's going to be one - so far with a T-shirt and an unused Barefaced jack/Speakon cable lead. Any other raffle prize donations will be gratefully received on the day.

I can offer a cockrel-shaped watering can made from folded and welded metal, finished in a tasteful brown coloured hammerite...

Never been used, it was a house warming present.....

Thanks Graham!

Late to the party I should have scrolled down a bit.

OK, so I'm pleased to report that Mike Gillett will be 'bashing' with us - I think his electro-acoustic basses look amazing and I can't wait to try one/all of them!

I've seen my name on the list, but unfortunately (bash-wise) I have a gig the night before in Norfolk, which will see me greeting the milkman when I get home.

Have a great one chaps!

Thanks for telling us, now de-listed - enjoy the gig!

Can I suggest having a bunch of sticky labels and a Sharpie available so that people can make nametags for themselves if they want? We did this at the last national bash I went to and it was good to be able to put a face to a forum handle. I can source suitable items from my office stationery cupboard (I'm only borrowing them boss, honest) if required.

I was planning to make name badges (already have the labels and permie pens) - but your DIY idea is much better :)

For the Raffle, I have persuaded MSL to put up a Bass Keeper, a Mark Stand, and an ULTRA rare Markbass wristband. The wrist bands are quite special, as they have fairly magical abilities. They can do this:-

Do you just want new stuff for the raffle or is 2nd hand gear acceptable? I've got a couple of FX thingies that I'm not using, for example

I assume there's ample parking around the hall?
[/quote]It looks like a decent sized car park on the satellite images and website.

[size=5][b][i]BASH BULLETIN![/i][/b][/size]

[b][u]T-shirts[/u][/b] As promised, more info on the 'official' commemorative T-shirts (see pics posted a few days ago): Price is [b]£12[/b] and sizes are as follows:

[b] S[/b] = 38" [b]M[/b] = 42" [b]L[/b] = 44" [b]XL [/b]= 48" [b]XXL [/b]= 52" [b]XXXL[/b] = 56" NOTE: These are the actual physical measurements of the shirts

I've already bought a few samples to identify me and the bash team and check out the quality. If you want one (or more) please pm me so I can put an order together - I'll need your payment by this coming Friday March 17th to ensure that you get yours on the day.

[i][b][u]£££ HELP[/u]!![/b][/i] I've written a cheque for £80 this morning for the hall and Mrs Scrumpy has been spending cash filling our freezer (and part of next door's!!) with home-made goodies for the big day. If you you know you'll be coming and don't mind paying up-front, please pm me. Anyone who pays but can't make it on the day gets a full refund.

[b][i][u]STOP PRESS[/u] - Stephen Chown's contacts at Bass Guitar are giving him some freebie mag's to bring along! [/i][/b] :)
