In that case, I will bring a little Gnome down (that's an amp as opposed to a small porcelain figure holding an anatomically incorrect fishing rod).

 

No, no, bring the porcelain figure. Then inevitably someone will steal it and then photos will mysteriously be posted of it at other bass bashes around the country.

On a more serious note, what time are things kicking off on Sunday?

Well, I'm not getting there until about 1030, so I'd imagine there won't be any cage fighting before then.

I had for some reason written this down as the 25th, I don’t know why.

I'll make sure to pack some popcorn and grab a front seat

I hope to be bringing an example of the new 30W Joyo combo!

You waiting for it to be delivered huh? That would be good.

 

I will also bring the my bass board, thats always entertaining.

Can someone bring a jack-jack amp to cab cable? Mine has wandered off, which is bizzare as it permanently hangs in the back of the unused cab so I know where it is.

I found the answer to my question on page 5 as well as a useful reminder to bring a raffle prize

The Bash starts at 10am but anyone who wants to come earlier from 8am is welcome to have breakfast served from Mrs Scrumpy's kitchen and maybe help us set up.

Wasn’t there another that @NancyJohnson was trying to organise ?

The SE Basheroonie is in Crowthorne, Berkshire in November.  There's a thread elsewhere.

Yeah I can do that.

Thank you. The blasted thing will of course turn up on Sunday evening while I am unpacking.

Does this mean you're definitely out?

I don't use Amazon, so I have no idea what that means

[Richard R]

It's a bit  like "I've good wood", but the anticipation isn't as much fun and mostly it comes the next day.

And the real answer is - 10am. But we'll be there from 8.30 and anyone coming early to help with set-up gets something for breakfast and lots of brownie points (redeemable in Heaven).

Preliminary rounds, you won't be missing much.

Thanks

Perhaps I can make that

Don’t know yet, sorry

vaguely positive assurance from agent that he has no one else in the running and that ceo has tasked HR with finding a slot to meet him and “they always take ages”

I cannot do this if I cannot justify it as affordable when I have no job 

 

partner away all day tomorrow 

[JapanAxe]

Hope it's ok to mention this here...

 

The self-built all-valve B15-inspired head that I brought along last year will be with me again, this time with a FOR SALE sign on it! I mention this because, while I am really trying to slim down my kit (honest), I am also not completely averse to a trade, and you might want to bring something with that in mind. If the head sells/trades at tomorrow's bash I will donate 5% of the net proceeds towards the Bash running costs.

 

Of course you are welcome to try it with your own bass and/or cab without obligation of any kind - that is part of the fun of a Bass Bash!

It's only divisible by itself or one.

I'm probably going to hell, can I redeem them there?

See you tomorrow Mike
