The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021

Recommended Posts

Could I be extremely pedantic and suggest the thread be re-titled back to 'South West Bass Bash' as anyone who has not followed the saga will have a clue what all the acronyms are? Thus It may encourage someone who is not a member but in the SW to attend?🎸

 

BTW, the date is fine by me too.(BTW- by the way)!

Good idea!  Now re-titled as suggested.  See you there.

So excited for this event. I'm bringing a bass student who is that remarkable and rare phenomenon - a singer who helps carry gear, brings and sets up the pa. 

I've known her for a few years and I still can't get over this fact.

I bet none of the other bass bashes will have such a unique thing on display.

Is there a vaccine entry policy..?

Hi Frank, TBC nearer the time.  Unless things turn really ugly (again!!), my plan is that the Bash will definitely go ahead according to a sensible covid protocol that I'll draw up with the team to suit whatever conditions prevail in September.  As I'll probably err on the side of caution, I can't guarantee that everyone will be happy with it but at least people will know what to expect and decide whether or not to attend based on their own assessment of the risk.  Of course, anything I do is subject to the hall being open on the day.

Obviously what you guys and gals think matters and I'll be canvassing everyone's opinion in the run-up to the event.

I was only kidding really, should have put a smiley! But the above does actually make sense.

You did see the last group photo didn't you? :D

I’ll have you know my pert tush was once described as text book in Burke’s Derrières of the Aristocracy, you were all extremely lucky to get a glance, it’ll not happen again.

Shame.  That would have been a handy place to park my bike on the 19th.

14. @MoJoKe - whatever demo gear is left over from the month before (Manchester Bass Show), so will definitely have my Casa rig, probably the new Vintage D2 head (which I am thinking of selling the Casa to buy...  it’s that good!), and I'll try and bring Markbass instruments and some packs of the new Markbass strings to give away

That was a while back so some of my stuff has changed - sold the NS/Stick, got some other stuff. I guess I will bring:

Ibanez EHB1505, Shuker Uberhorn, Chapman Stick, ABM600, BC112 speaker. 

- although as there are loads of amps / cabs there, maybe I could bring the Spark so people could see if it was something they were interested in?

No longer own the Trace R of D, and my faker is in bits. 

My contribution will be updated - it all depends on which car I'm in, mine is tiny. 

Going to be selling a black club bass, a bitsa precision, a vintage Washburn and an OLP 5 string and maybe some pedals so bring your wallets.
