I don't like pointy basses as a rule, but there's something about the Explorer shape that I really like. I wish I'd bought an Aria ZZB back when they were dirt cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Is it silly that I'm getting really excited the closer the BFSWBB gets? Seeing some familiar faces, meeting some new ones, the fantastic looking kit list (and this year I feel like I've finally got something worth showing too!). I feel like a kid in the run-up to Xmas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not silly at all - test fitting the Explorer in the front seat was as much preparation for the upcoming road trip as it was the general practicality of getting the damn thing to rehearsals/gigs!

Nope, it's a lazy, indolent, decadent layabout that demands to be driven around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do although there is a tinge of sadness with the lack of some familiar faces. Still, its going to be good to catch up again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therasonic450 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Have been holding on about replying as I'm due hospital visit fairly soon. Just been given 4th October & probably won't be out before then. Oh well, new hip has to take precedence. Hope you all have a great day & maybe I'll get there next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just thinking aloud, but will anyone be in/around Taunton the night before the bash, and if so, fancy a pre-bash pint somewhere?* * assuming I haven't fallen into my hotel room and fallen asleep immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I need more confirmations from Bashers prepared to pay up front. Less than 25 = no Bash and we only have 14 so far. Would the usual volunteers (and anybody else) please step forward?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might not be clear in any of the previous posts to people who have not been to a bash before is that you can either pay on the door or you can send a message to @scrumpymike and ask for his paypal address and then send £13 to it by friends and family, in which case it is paid and you are then on the list, where you will be allowed through the security cordon as an express VIP * Failing that, just send a message saying you are definately turning up and will pay at the door. * some of that might be overhyped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Stevie, when I get 25 confirmations I'll PM payment details to everyone who's confirmed. I've added you to the list. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
