Woodinblack Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 My stuff always fits, so it will go in just fine! Cant even remember what I am bringing, but I am sure I will remember before the day. Have a couple of basses I can put up for sale - too expensive to put in a raffle but too cheap to sell online!

scrumpymike Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Popped round with Mrs Scrumpy to pick 'yorks5stringer' Keith's stuff up yesterday. Spent a very pleasant hour or so drinking tea with wife Anna and daughter Loren in the garden. Haven't had a proper sort through yet but - apart from the Markbass cab already sold to neepheid, the only items of substance in terms of sales value seem to be a couple of nice gig bags and a mic stand. I'll try and sell those at the Bash and put the rest in the raffle, which Anna has said it's OK to do. Anna has given me some words she'd like shared with the Bashers, which I'll either read out, put on display, or both. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Since my last post re Keith's stuff, the cheaper Protection Racket gig-bag has sold but here's a heads-up on the remaining 'Bravo' by Blake Guitar Solutions. This is a top-quality item in A1 condition with heavy-duty outer shell, thick/robust protective padding, luxury velour lining and nice detailing including: external zip-fastening pockets front and back; neck rest with velcro flap; additional removeable padded insert along the bottom edge; and an 'across the chest' horizontal tie with quick-release clip to keep the shoulder straps in place. My quick on-line search shows Blake as a US brand not currently on sale in the UK but at launch the 'Bravo' bass bag was listed with a UK RRP of £152. A mint used Apex guitar bag (smaller but same design and quality) went on Reverb for £65 and I'd say Keith's bag would be a bargain at that price. The internal dim's are approx (L)122cms x (W1*)42cms x (W2**)38cms x (D) enough for any solid-bodied bass. W2 is measured 52cms up from the bottom where the shoulders start to taper in. *Bottom bout **Top bout Any takers in advance of the Bash for payment/collection on the day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I popped a note in the wanted section before, but alas, no bites. Thought I’d ask here just in case, but anyone own a red Gretsch Junior Jet they are contemplating parting with? Can meet at the bash to avoid postage woes?

scrumpymike Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 THIS YEAR'S AMP SHOOT-OUT!! Phil Starr has PMed me what he's planning: "Hi Mike, Just touching base about the shootout. Give me half an hour after lunch. I’ll gather up amps in the morning plus what you, Stevie and I bring. We won’t be short 😀 I was planning three runs. Three micro amps because we know their frequency responses from last time, then maybe four best amps by reputation followed by valve vs class AB vs class D, just for fun. I would like to do the runoff with a live bassist rather than recorded bass, not scientific but more realistic and more fun. Who would be good do you think amongst those coming? I’m going to be busy with swapping leads and ‘compèring’ and amps are a lot harder to swap than speakers. So who is the best amongst us and not shy? btw I've talked this through with Stevie and we’ll be using two of his LFSys Monaco cab's (FRFR. Phil" So... let's have a good selection of your amp heads - I'll be bringing an Ampeg SVT-7 PRO, Mesa Subway D800 Plus, and Ashdown RM800 EVO. Last but not least, we need a volunteer or 3 willing and able to play a few short demo lines in different genres. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I don't mind doing some playing. It'll probably be like when you're trying to type and someone comes and watches you and then you forget everything, but as long as that's OK, I'm happy to do it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you, sorry, I've got just enough stands for what I'm bringing. Maybe someone who isn't bringing any basses could help out? Also - a week to go... (less from my perspective - leaving on Saturday) - excited! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Just a bit concerned at the lack of feedback re raffle prizes. If those of us who don't have any bass-related stuff could just bring a bottle or something that would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 It's not bass related, but I've got a keyboard stand that's in good nick that I just don't need. Happy to bring a bottle though if that's more suitable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
