Crikey, I'm well past showing off! No, just a bit of floor space and somewhere to plug stuff in is all! I'll see if I can blag some raffle prizes if you do such a thing... I'm doing the same at the SW Bash next month, which I have attended twice now ('cos I live fairly locally)... I'll probably spend more of my energy on the day spouting about how brilliant Mr Chown's new NT basses are... so good I have just ordered two! I'm praying they'll arrive in time for the bash, but that's probably expecting way too much..! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been around a while now, but still one of the best for bass amp modelling (and I went though a phase of trying quite a few!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjr1515 4,671 Posted March 22, 2019 Ref talks / demos, I have two thoughts if there is an interest: Either: A talk through my journey towards lighter-weight instruments, including some of the design and construction considerations and practicalities. I (and @Len_derby) can bring along a number of instruments that people can try 'on the strap' including Kert's Camphor single cut bass (weight lightened conventionally), and then illustrating my present construction approach Pete's piccolo bass (& my almost identical electric guitar) and @Len_derby 's full-scale Swift Lite bass. or A repeat of the veneering demo Doing both is probably a touch too much Andyjr1515 for one session! What do you reckon? Andy 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you reckon? Andy I'm interested in both, but I appreciate the logistics being a problem. For me, the lighter-weight instruments designs would be favourite.

Richard R 1,231 Posted March 25, 2019 A friend of mine would like to join us. If he can make it, he'll bring an Ibanez 1400, Aria Sinsonido silent travel bass and an Ashdown amp. I can also provide extension leads and cake 🙂 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll be bringing along a few own built basses if you want a chat about home building basses. I’ll have two semi hollow basses and a couple of solid bodied ones as well. One semi hollow bass will be medium scale, the other will be short scale and of interest to @Frank Blank...I’m determined to have it finished for then!! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard R 1,231 Posted March 26, 2019 Equally excited. What is estimated start and finish times? At this rate I can imagine queues to see some people stretching on past the end time.
