Just sending out my thanks to EBUK for donating a EBUK SUB Ray to the raffle and to Dave Swift for arranging for said Bass and a Top Hat to be signed by Jules and the rest of his R&B Orchestra. Dave also arranged for a bag of goodies for the raffle..

Thanks everybody for supporting the event and the Youth Club.

Hi, All

I know I will be an out-of-region interloper, but I'll be at the bash too :)

I have agreed with Mick to bring along his 'mystery bass rebuild' [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283510-thegreeks-mystery-bass-rebuild/"]per the ongoing build thread here[/url]

Mick knows it's a very long shot that it will be finished by then but I will be able to:[list]
[*]meet him (and y'all) in person
[*]pass it over if it's actually finished
[*]let him drool and then cruelly whisk it away again if it isn't
[/list]

I'll also bring along my bubinga fretless and my avatar veneered Squier VM Jaguar. Everyone will be welcome to play them - but just don't ask me to...it would be a dreadful end of a perfectly decent bash :lol:

Look forward to seeing you all there :)

That's great! Looking forward to meeting you there, Andy. It's only a shame we won't also get to see Jabba's amazing recycled door that was also at the Midlands bash.

Maybe I could cut out a shape from an old hardboard panel door and pretend it's one of his. You know how rough Jabba's builds are.

....I bloody wish ;)

Well you could veneer it. It'd almost be the same. :P

That bass looked magic. I'm not envious in the slightest.... much. :D

Is Mick's mystery bass like an Alembic?
[/quote]
Yes and no - the shape was / is similar to an Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature and the headstock is just a lawsuit's whisker away. I think it is a home or custom built 'in the style of' from the era of the early SC models. Loads of pics on the build thread - we can probably all argue the toss at the bash :)
