We sold 62 tickets in the end altogether and there were 2 prizes open to presales , so you had around a 1 in 31 chance of winning..... But you can feel proud of the fact we will have raised around £350 for Live Music Now!

All the presales tickets were put in (honest) and none were drawn out: yours was actually 96 on a yellow ticket. I'd bought 2 and they did not come out either!

I'm sure legions of angry 'ray fans will call for my head on a plate,but this was proof that iconic basses are in the eye of the beholder.[/quote] yep, it's a shame about Ray........... I once had a Status Groove 5 string, a cracking bass!

IMPORTANT NOTICE If you are not intending to attend the Yorkshire Bass Bash on Sunday Feb 15th ( and that can surely only be because of geographic or musically related reasons), you have until [b]12.00 midnight, 14th February [/b]to buy prize draw tickets. Any donations after 12.00 pm will not be entered into the Raffle, sorry rules is rules. So please pitch in with at least £5.00 NOW: all money collected goes to Charity!

[quote name='William James Easton' post='409332' date='Feb 14 2009, 11:48 AM']can we still buy them at the bash? or are the 'mans' rules just for basschat?[/quote] The "mans rules" are for those not arsed or unable to attend in person: if you buy tickets at the Bash you get entry to the top prizes plus a host of other goodies too. A further bonus if you attend on the day is you get to see if I am as irritating in person as I am on this thread.....

Last shout for buying these tickets and entering the Prize Draw is midnight tonight: anything donated afterwards will be regarded as just that, a donation. So buy your tickets today!!!

Flippin heck, only sold 12 tickets: those are pretty odd odds......? Got to be worth a £5........

I'm stripping a B2 and will not be using the existing pots/controls. Let me know if you need anything: having said that it is passive, they could be different and as the pickups are dead I have not tested what is the problem yet! Also had a dodgy tuner so replaced it but had to buy 4, have 3 spare tuners and 4 bridges too!

Did our monthly gig at the Old Tramshed in Saltaire: asked a few Basschatters and workmates along as it was my last day as a wage slave: have taken early retirement! Good to see Toasted, Mr Bassman, Heavyj amongst some other wellwishers too. We sound-checked "Your Love is King" having not rehearsed it together, and put it straight into the set: we have a Valentines Ball tomorrow night too so it will come iin handy along with "My Funny Valentine" and "Days of Wine and Roses".

Slightly off topic, we occasionally augment our quartet with sax and/or flugelhorn and its a real blast as they bring something extra to the mix. In the other band we have depped drummers before which is "interesting"....

Thanks. Small Print: the prize mentioned above (Passive A/B/Y box with LED indicators) is only open to those who attend the YBB in person and buys tickets for the Raffle. The Online 2 Prizes are as described and pictured in the original post ....
