Looks good for me as well

I’d like to come if it coincides with me being in that neck of the woods. Don’t add me yet but I’ll follow and see when dates are announced. Well done for organising @prowla and @NancyJohnson 🤩

Ditto

[TrevorR]

Prefer Saturday 8th but can do Sunday 9th.

[Richard R]

I'll see if I can clear the 9th.

[Wolverinebass]

I'm generally fine whenever. Looking forward to it!

[BillyBass]

I'm happy with Nov 9th

[Happy Jack]

Just so long as it's only provisional, Silvie and I can provisionally make it. In a provisional sort of way.

Count me in - although would prefer to avoid rememberance Sunday if possible...

 

Will there be a gear list in due course?

Everyone tends to bring something.  There'll be enough kit to keep people happy.

 

On the subject of the bass shootout thing, it would be nice to have a list of basses ahead of the curve so I can do some printed sheets for marking.

The chances of any gear list I write now being the same in November are about nil

 

All I will say is that when it comes to travelling hundreds of miles to attend a bass bash, my motto is "go big, or go home"...

I might bring two or three Rickenbackers, none of which sound precisely the same! 🙂

[bassace97]

Gunna bring my Mesa D800+, TT800, Subway 210s, Fender Marcus Miller Jazz bass and Fender Mustang bass!

A double blind p-bass shootout would be interesting. Various p's at price points from the cheapest Squier to a USA custom shop.

Er, anyone bringing a USA custom shop precision? ☺️

[6feet7]

Probably a 5 string double bass, Maruszczyk Jake PJ 5 and my own creation, a RickenExplorerBird 5. Ashdown ABM500 and Eden XLT410

[Rich]

@Merton and I will need to toss a coin to see which of us brings the Trace TE-1200 😂

Would it, though?

Yes

[Happy Jack]

Or perhaps someone could bring along their Dreek speaker cables so that I can A/B them with the ones I get from Thomann?

Quick question - is it OK to bring stuff to try and sell on as well? I have a drawer full of pedals and a couple cabs (not in the drawer) that I never quite get around to listing anywhere?

Yes - I have bought & sold items at previous Bass Bashes; I expect we'll set aside a for-sale area/table at the venue.

We'll need to work out a floor plan; as @NancyJohnson mentioned it's pretty much an open area with a stage at one end.
