TheRev Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 It was all so terribly....civilised! Thanks to everyone involved in arranging the day and making everything run smoothly. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon 😎 Thanks to all for organising and esp. catering! Glad to report I'm relatively GAS free...except for those BF 1x10's 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks everyone this was a cracking day! I managed to have a go on some amazingly good gear and almost came back far far poorer as a result! A Gillett bass is on my wish list for sure, the quality of these is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks Mike for all the hard work, really well organised and as someone has already said very civilised. The food was really excellent too, many thanks to your family and friends for doing that for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Highlights for me, 0175westwood29's even more mahoosive pedalboard (that has it's own wheeled flightcase!) Makes mad fuzz oscillating noises that just make me smile! Pinball's 5str G&L, nice bass. Yorks5stringer's 5str Shuker self build also very nice. Graham's 5str NS curved body again very nice bass. Home built basses on the left of Woodinblacks pic above (can't remember chaps name soz) were ace too. Chownys & retrovibes were fun to play & Gillette acoustics were works of art, fretless with piezo specially so. Didn't have time to play Rich's Wal or Woody's fanfret Ibanez. Thanks all t'was great!

Pinball Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) I had a really busy week but am glad I made the effort today even (though I didn't seem to get around all the gear I would have liked to see..must be running out of steam) The Gillet's were amazing, loveley tones and buid quality. I liked the Chowny Scott Whitley too as It's a lively little beast. Other basses that stood out were the Burny Thunderbird, Norms Sqiuer Precision 5 and Stingray and I really enjoyed talking to the home builders. Dom's DA basses were really nice as were Jabba's natural ones pictured above. I sepecially liked that fretless...no controls but sounded great Also thanks to Andy for letting me try a few ocave/fuzz pedals. It was a great atmosphere...thanks to all involved Edited April 2, 2017 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 OK so it's 10 to 8 and me and Mrs. Scrumpy are just about done returning the house from 'bash HQ' to its normal homely state. This was a truly wonderful day enjoyed by 35 Basschatters, sponsors and even the helpers - none of whom are bass fanatics but still swear they had a good time! I must say I had an absolute blast! Highlights for me were meeting everybody, playing Michael Gillett's wonderful basses, ditto a really nice Retrovibe Zygote, and trying (and liking) Charlie's TC Electronics RH450 thru my Barefaced stack. THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL STUFF!! Mrs. Scrumpy thanks all those who went out of their way to say they enjoyed the catering. Scrumpy Janey took hundreds of photos (literally!) so watch this space - but not tonight! Thanks to everybody for attending the inaugural Taunton bash.

Chienmortbb Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) What a great event. I have my Tee Shirt on now and I promise to buy another mug next year Mike. I am so clumsy i might need one on mail order before then. The catering was excellent and yes i did make a point of telling team Scrumpy in person. The venue was ideal and you must have serious connections with the man upstairs for organising that weather. The real thing though it was just nice to be with people that appreciate bass. I was not there long enough to see much but that Barefaced 1x10 was so small. There was a lot of Trace stuff on show and I like that and there were some beautiful basses all over the hall. Put me down for next year now please. Edited April 2, 2017 by Chienmortbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
