Before currie the Balmoral after currie The Stag (Allanton) ALan

Still tickets for the Sunday available. There is no pay on the door so if you intend to come along a ticket is a must. Cheers Alan

You are right a total disgrace.

The J ash wont be as light it is made from Northern Ash not the light weight Swamp Ash.

Greenking has to take credit for the PB pickup he has asked for one so I had a word with Aaron and it can be fitted into the RFS housing which suits me very well. Alan

Two weeks to kick off.

I want one of those. I can grow the beard but it just makes my head look as if it is on upside down.

Still tickets for the Sunday available. Cheers Alan

Any chance you can make the Sunday.

If you want to go out for the curry could you let me know so I can keep the numbers right for the curry house.

It would be good to catch up with you again. Cheers Alan

I will actually try to take some pics this year.

Hi With all the weekend tickets now sold and time marching on,I thought I would post a reminder about the Bash on the Sunday. Sunday the 6th of February kick off 10am. We have a very good line up of builders going to be present. Jon Shuker Chris May Haydn Williams All available for the day for a chat about their work. I think Chris may well have some of the Tanglewater basses so a great chance to try them out in a band situation. We have the house band with a set list of songs so if you feel like getting up and having a run through of a few songs feel free. There will also be several Jam sessions through out the day. Discount available at the local Cafe for lunch which is 5 mins walk and provides a break if you feel you need it. There will also be tea/coffee and home made buns through out the day. Highlight of the day will be a clinic/performance by Stevie Williams. Most of you will know Stevie as the main man behind UK Bassday as well as a respected musician in his own right. This is a relaxed bash with a good laugh being important to everyone and if you are in Scotland one of the few opportunities to see a lot of very nice gear without to far to travel. All of this for a tenner which I think is a pretty good deal. Tickets can be bought on the website. [url="http://www.moffatbassbash.co.uk/"]MBB[/url] There will be no pay on the day so a ticket is a must if you intend to come along. This is a non profit making venture,should we have a surplus it will be donated to a local charity. Any question myself or Dave Perry will be happy to help. Cheers Alan

I am in the same school of photography as Dave no real interest and let the camera do the clever stuff. I have had a bit more practice through necessity that is the only difference. The pics I took can be found here. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/244/"]Pics.[/url]

The part that bugs me the most was that they knew they could not delivery it but still took the booking made no mention of it being impossible to deliver. They have got the weather to blame so the insurance is void for the next day delivery. If however the bass has been damaged while kicking about their warehouse that should be different. I am hoping all will be well with the bass but if not I will be perusing a claim for any damage done while in their care.

The bass is stuck in an UPS warehouse while they clear the back log of deliveries. If only they had pointed this out before taking the booking and the money. So went out on Wednesday for next day delivery and has not moved from Crawley since Thursday.

The single pickup version can always be put in should you feel you need it further down the line.

The song list is there for people who are not as comfortable as you and Dave just getting up and making stuff up as you go along. There were not many that played with the band last time so I am hoping more guys will get up and play if it is something they either know or can learn for the day. Maximum involvement is the name of the game so that everyone has a chance if they want it. Don't want you and Perry playing an hour each again. Also hope to have more pics and some video this year. I have drafted in my boys to just do that.

I actually had to unpack the bass because I forgot to take any pics of it. And to further confirm how stupid I am I did not take one specifically of the headpiece. This is the first bass to use it and the build that got me in to custom hardware so a pic might have been in order. Alan

See the two posts above.

A significant amount of that time was spent designing and having machined the custom headpiece on the bass after both ABM and ETS said they would do it then didn't. This involved getting 3D drawings done and finding someone to machine it. Then a sample made for testing a few changes after seeing the sample. Getting the finish right which took two attempts before the right version was found. Then getting the 20 units finally done because getting one done is not even remotely viable. This set the whole project back a long way. I would like to thank Dave Perry for all his work in getting the headpiece sorted out without him it would have taken longer and cost a lot more. Alan

What they all said. You are more than welcome without any gear but please feel free to bring whatever you have there will be no bass snobbery at the bash.

Hi We have had a drop out so this opens up a space for the weekend. Either a single or a double can be accommodated. Drop me or Dave Perry a PM if you are interested in the space. Cheers Alan
