Clue 2: It's made from a famous, but infrequently used wood. It's a Fender Tony Goggle Signature WTF Bass made from palletwood with a flamed balsa top. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Nah, all getting colder. Clue 3: It was orignally released as a guitar, was never intended to be a bass, the bass version came decades later.

It arrived today - if I told you mine doesn't neck dive AT ALL if you use a decent strap, would you be surprised? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 No, I wouldn't! There's a fair mass of wood the other end. I've just heard that on a strap it can feel like a fair old stretch to the first fret. I look forward to seeing it in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 Unbelievably (for me and Mrs. Scrumpy at least) this year's Sunday 8th October Bash is just over a month away, so it's time to get focussed. We're keeping the price at £13 and, as last year, we need at least 25 advance attendance fees to guarantee we can cover the event financially. If you're coming, please confirm/re-confirm without delay. As soon as I know we've got a few more than 25, I'll ask you all for payment in advance . Any monies over and above 25 x £13 will go towards next year's event - most importantly, the 2024 hall booking fee, which we have to pay in advance. So you know what you'll be getting for your money, here's this year's menu. Let us know if you have any particular dietary requirements that aren't covered and we'll do our best to cater for you. OVER TO YOU!! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 23.docx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I would note however that the penguin has appeared on the menu in previous years, but each time the food on the day has been noticeably devoid of any trace of said aquatic bird. Can we finally expect penguin sandwiches to be available this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I would have thought the chance to see a peculiar, middle-aged Scotsman making a tit of himself with an Explorer bass would be worth the admission fee in and of itself... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
