The NW and Scotland Bass Bash and Petting Zoo 2026 - Saturday April 25th Confirmed

I was planning to do an hour or so talk about 3d design and 3d printing at the Bash. A few people have expressed a slight interest. For those of you who remember the village hall in Clapham, there is a little room adjacent to the kitchen, and I would use that.

 

Is this of interest to other people? If so, what would people like to know about? I can't design and print a bass in an hour but I can talk through the basics and explain what works and what doesn't. It's easy enough to bring a 3d printer over and I can make the session interactive. Perhaps show how to design a simple pickup cover, or a volume control or something. 

 

Just throwing this out there for feedback and comments (good and bad).

 

Thanks

You all know the form, please let me know if you can attend. There are no costs for the hall or for food as it's been sponsored

Calling @ped...

 

I've just noticed I'm running short on BC lanyards. We have a couple of Bashes coming up in the next few months, any chance I can blag a few more, if you have some obviously!

[rwillett]

So far we have 

 

@rwillett- A couple of 3d printed basses or guitars, this will encourage me to finish my next two off. A couple of 8" Basschat cabinets. Might be interesting to try these with other peoples amps. One is quite loud, not quite finished the other one so not sure quite how loud they go. Since I'm about 100m away, I might bring anything or everything. Might even bring and setup a 3d printer if people are interested.  If there is any interest and you need something thats more than a few hours to print, let me know well in advance.

@neepheid - Probably bringing the contents of a smallish country

I'll probably get confused and turn up with the wrong instrument... cello, sax, 3 manual organ console....

Turn up with the lot and we'll do a Doors jam with the organ. LA Woman is great  

 

Hows your leg by the way?
