GoodShowSir Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Relatively new to my bass journey! So don't feel what I can bring will add much.... I am happy to bring along my Ibanez SR600e, pedal board and headphones - for people who might want to try stuff out in the comfort of just their own ears 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Most of the gear available to try would not be available in most shops. Don't think of this as a positive - it just means that your GAS will be for more exotic gear. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside to a bass bash (or being a member on BC) is the inherent risk of serious GAS 🤣 I went years happy with one bass and one amp…now don’t ask 🤪😳🫣🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time it took weeks to get rid of the stains. In any case my French maid's outfit is still at the costumier having the side darts let out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that just typical of Anna - next time she's round for lumch I'll buy in from Lidl and not Waitrose. She only picks at it it anyway so most likely won't notice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverinebass Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Should be along as long as there isn't a train strike or anything. Not sure what to bring other than sideburns and sarcasm as is my usual contribution. However, if @greentext is after trying an 8 or 12 string, I happen to have an 8 string explorer and a 12 string Hamer, maybe i should bring one of those? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnt Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I would love to try an 8-string, given how much I want the tone John Paul Jones gets on tracks like Leafy Meadows (solo) or Gunman (Them Crooked Vultures). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
