Mmmm.....breakfast.... I suspect we'll be there for that and to help setup.

Plus it'll take me about an hour to set up my plethora/smorgasbord/I can stop anytime I want.

Stopping is easy. I've done it loads of times.

Oh yeah. Smorgasbord Addict.

Looking promising I'll be there. 

Brawley 5 string neck-thru, Brawley 4 string with flats. Ashdown ABM300/10 series 1 combo (maybe the 15" extension cab but that would be stupidly loud 😉). Raffle prizes.

Really hoping I can make it this year! Diary is clear at present, but will have to confirm closer to the time. May bring eldest son too, as he is now also a bass player!

I’ll have to withdraw on medical grounds unless my neurologist pulls his finger out and gives me an appointment 

 

unmedicated I am not allowed to drive too far. He’s isn’t quite sure but suspects a form of narcolepsy and has put it all off “until the next appointment” which is yet to be booked

Glad it's not the proctologist

OK I've decided on a little demo/shootout for the SW Bash. We've never done a proper blind test before, because we've never managed to totally hide the speakers This time I've realised my band's banner is big enough to hide a good number of speakers so I can re-purpose it and do a properly blind test. I won't say more because then it wouldn't be a fair test

Ideally it should be a randomised double blind test, where you don't know which is which either. Not sure how you do that with cabs though. 🤔

It might be a bit hard to blind the operator.😀
