bassmonk Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 So I had a big birthday a couple of weeks ago. Just getting round to posting the pics of the cake my friends made for me. Unfortunately the real thing didn't arrive from Music Man in time.. but I should be seeing it in a few weeks. It probably won't taste as good as this one.

SICbass Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) How very excellent, and the best bit is having friends that would go to all that trouble for you. A belated happy birthday. Edited May 15, 2017 by SICbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Impressive. Belated congratulations. I like that there are real strings with which to floss teeth immediately after cake consumption. Very well considered.

bassmonk Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thanks everyone for the kind comments and birthday wishes! Yes - I have wonderful friends. I understand it took many hours to make. But it tasted as good as it looks! All the best to those of you who will be turning the same corner very soon Drop hints now about bass cakes!

xgsjx Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Good to see they made an edible neck too. Many who try & make bass or guitar cakes use a real neck, which is a bit lame. Wonder if the real Stingray will have a "40" on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZilchWoolham Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Very impressive! Did it have a [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfeyUGZt8nk"]buttery biscuit base[/url]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a marketing opportunity there.. "New addition to our spring range - The Buttery Biscuit Bass" - but which manufacturer would be most likely to make it?

[/quote] Greg Wallace and John Torode's TV shows were sampled by Shaun Keaveny of 6music's breakfast show. The presenter uses the sound bites to punctuate his routine and sometimes it's laugh out loud funny. Favourite quotes are "Stop! Stop touching it." and "That piece of meat had everyone confused". http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_6music Edited May 17, 2017 by SpondonBassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
