Hi Colin,
I hope all's well with you.
Excuse my doofishness but what is one required to do if you want to sell something in the Classifieds? I hears something about you either pay an annual subscription for multiple sales or pay per sale and the latter is probably more me?
Many thanks and that was a cracking last BassFest but aren't they always.
Take care,
Costas

Hi I've been asked by the school where we met if I could provide them with some photos of the event and our special guests. Please could members post up their pictures, or links to where they are and I'll select a bunch and send them over. Cheers Colin

Having done all the sums we are left with an overall profit of £690. This has been donated to Cancer Research for breast cancer, and Cancer Research for prostate cancer. I have also donated a smaller amout to the school for hosting us. The couple of raffle prizes that were not claimed have been donated to the school's music department, which they are very grateful for. Huge thanks to Guy Pratt, Laurence Cottle and Barry Moorhouse for their support!! Thanks also to my girlfriends Gary (@Cetera) and Darren (@Bassforradio) for their early arrival and help with setting up, with Darren also doubling up in his professional role as ace interviewer! Also special thanks to: Mick (@Thegreek) for reaching out to several businesses and getting some prizes from D'Addario Trevor (@TrevorR) for securing the services of Laurence Cottle and Barry Moorhouse from the Bass Centre. Oh yes, I'd better mention the wife, Mrs Hamster for sorting the refreshments!! Thank you all for making the day another enjoyable sucess! Colin

Guy Pratt is attending the South East Bass Bash this year! 😊

The 15th South East Bass Bash will be on Sunday 12 November 2023, 10am - 5pm at Jubilee High School, Surrey, School Lane, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TE https://goo.gl/maps/SAd62ph7CAYqvVE48 Get the date in your diaries! I'm very pleased to announce that this year (so far!) our first special guest, who after a brief stint as a graphic designer, decided to pursue a career in music which took off when he was asked to join (the then massive in Australia) Icehouse for a world tour at the tender age of 19. In 1983 he supported David Bowie on his legendary ‘Serious Moonlight’ tour. This led to him being spotted and used by the likes of Robert Palmer, Bryan Ferry, Womack & Womack, and even The Smiths amongst others. He was thrust into the global premier league of bassists when David Gilmour asked him to play for Pink Floyd. Yes - Mr Guy Pratt! 😎

Hamster replied to Hamster's topic in Basses For Sale
Yeah, I'm keeping my 4 main gigging basses plus an old Spector. Since Covid nearly killed me in 2020 I'm refocussing on what I actually use instead of having several wall hangers doing nothing. -
A very nice example of a Squier Vintage Modified 5 String Jazz Bass. It’s the better quality one that's made in Indonesia. Again, very little wear and it has a pair of Bareknuckle ’84 pickups. I got this as part of a trade recently but it’s a little heavy for me. Excellent condition. If you want it shipped, I’ll buy a cheap hard case for it and add that to the overall cost – or you can send me a case and I’ll ship it in that. I will ship outside of the UK. All shipping will be fully insured and at cost which will be added onto the price of the bass. Obviously shipping costs will vary so if you’re serious I’ll get a quote, or you can arrange your own shipping and insurance. I’m in Surrey near the M.25 Junction 11. I’m happy to travel a reasonable distance to meet you to ensure it doesn’t get damaged in transit. I’ll accept offers near the asking price of £300- 1 reply

Fender P bass Lyte in Montego Black. Made in Japan, the serial number dates to 1987/1988. In excellent condition, hardly any wear on it. At some point its been upgraded with a John East preamp but I can chuck in the OEM preamp pots etc in as well. Lightweight build and again these can go for crazy money.

Another bass that I’ve rarely played, and growing in value/collectability. Made in Japan, the serial number dates to 1994/1995. A few small dings commensurate with age, a little fret wear, slight scratching with the pots. Condition is very good. I’ve seen these go for crazy money but I think the asking price is sensible.

I’ve had this a few years now and thought I would play it a lot. I didn’t and it’s just on the wall doing nothing. It’s easily the nicest Fender P/J I’ve ever played. The neck is to Jazz neck spec, beautifully narrow and smooth and it almost plays itself. Very little wear, almost as new. Serial number dates to 2000/2001. The Fender 'Hot Rod' P-Bass is a USA made precision bass sold between 1999 and 2001. It was made with custom Fender pickups: a Hot-Vintage P-bass pick and an extra Hot-Vintage Jazz bass pickup. This additional Jazz bass pickup was the 'hot-rodded' element of the Fender design. Precision Thump and Jazz growl!
