Whereabouts are you coming from @floFC?

 

 

I am coming from Grantham. It’s good, I can take the train and then a bus from Nottingham station.

I'd like to see a Kramer, so if you're able to bring it that would be great. There will be plenty of amps to try it in.

Likewise, always wanted to try a Kramer.

Cool, then put me down for that 😊

I'm driving from Bourne, so will be driving through Grantham on my way up to the A52. Genuinely more than happy to give you a lift.

@Frank Blank I will be using public transport, hence can’t bring very much. I have a couple of semi interesting basses that people may be curious about and tempted to have a play on. So besides curiosity, I could bring a Kramer 450B (alu neck) if it can be plugged into someone else’s rig.

I'll be bringing two rigs - a combo and a head + cab - so you're welcome to plug into mine.

Fantastic, thank you!

I am trucking in from Leicester if someone on the way needs a lift no probs, let me know!

Turns out I can't make the Bash, if @Richard R or @petecarlton PMs me with an address I'll make sure the lanyards get to you.

PM incomming.

If it's Rishi Sunak then don't let him in!

Due to a glitch in the Matrix...

 

...or possibly having got over a petulant toy-slinging tantrum...

 

...it appears I shall be attending after all. So I'll bring the lanyards with me and here's the list I ruined earlier...

 

@Richard R: Brawley 4 and 5 string, EBS session 60 amp, cheap Aeon sustainer, scales to weigh basses with, cake

@petecarlton: Shuker Nuclear Device Jean-Jacques Burnel Signature Lite P-bass, Mayones Cali 4 Triskelion travel bass, Bugera Veryron BV 1001M Mosfet head, Ashdown Studio 210 combo, bits and pieces - and cake

@PTB: MTD 535, Limelight Pino replica, possibly a MusicMan, MarkBass combo, HX XL & extension leads 😎

Is it ‘tickets in advance’ or pay on the door?   (I had a quick scan but didn’t see the cost and payment method)

I’ll see if I can come through.  I’m very close to getting the keys for my new house, so that may be my priority …if it happens to coincide.

Pay on the door, £10.

[GremlinAndy]

Great.   Hope to see you there.   I’ll bring something interesting.

[GremlinAndy]

lol, sounds cryptic.    …🪕

I just don’t want to suggest anything specific, just in case I can’t make it and disappoint.

The Music Inn in Nottingham have agreed to donate something for the raffle - not sure what yet, but they're lovely people whatever:

My son has asked me to sell his Westfield Small Body bass, so that's now in the marketplace and I'll bring that along. I have a few other things in the Accessories section, including an LR-16 live recorder, so check them out and if anyone is interested in anything I can bring it along as well.
