    [quote name='David Bradshaw' timestamp='1327750269' post='1516149'] I had more but this is what is left and it makes a good healthy stack. Klystron Classic stack up for grabs. All items are Made in England - I am a bit retentive about my gear and always want original quality stuff. Many more photos and info available to anyone who is interested. Items located in Hexham Northumberland -near Newcastle if anyone wants to come and have a play. Obviously collection only or I can deliver if circumstances allow. London no problem as frequently down there. Price list: ABM Klystron 500 head - Part of the Classic series £400 reduced to £350 ABM Classic 1x15in inc horn Cab £300 reduced to £250 ABM Classic 2x10in inc horn Cab £250 reduced to £200 Or £750 the job lot If no one interested then it's off to the dreaded ebay - and I mean it this time! Thanks David [/quote]

    Everybody has sweaty hands for Wals! It's great because you can play your stuff, through someone else's gear, and another blokes pedals and there's no pressure to buy. It's generally a very fertile breeding ground for plans, plots and severe GAS.

    The Tour of Britain cycle race will be in the area of the Bash on Saturday - [url="http://www.gosurrey.info/assets/documents/2013-tour-map"]http://www.gosurrey....s/2013-tour-map[/url] There should be no problems using the M.25, coming off at J.11 and into Addlestonemoor and to the venue. It may get busy on a few side roads between 1330 to 1530 if you come in other than by the motorway. Got to start planning the cake stall now! Mrs Hamster will assist me as usual. I'll stick to tea, coffee, squash and pastries as per previous years because it's a pain if I start doing sandwiches again. Tesco is only 2 minutes away if anyone needs sandwiches etc.

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1378154990' post='2196473'] I am hearing a lot about the M25 problems. Was it anything in particular causing it, or is it just a typical Saturday? [/quote] Just 'normal' traffic. Saturdays are usually ok fingers crossed!

    [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1376677411' post='2178001'] Both Chertsey and Byfleet & New Haw stations are a distance from the school that i would want to walk. Chertsey station looks close on the map as the crow flies but it's a lot longer walk that it looks as you have to go a long way out of your way if walking. [/quote] Addlestone is the closest. I can probably sort out lifts from & to rail stations on the day

    Sweet!

    On here you are also dealing with fellow bass players, most of whom are known to at least one more member. I nearly always pay (and get paid) directly into bank accounts which is something I would never contemplate on ebay.

    [quote name='dmz' timestamp='1355833984' post='1903296'] Up for grabs is a rather unique 6-string bolt-on Warwick Thumb fretted bass. I bought this from littleal a few years back. It has a smaller than standard one piece walnut body so it looks like a broad necked bass but it isn't. Plays like absolute butter - the neck is wenge with an ebony fingerboard. Notes leap of the fingerboard - powerful and distinct. Only selling as I need some funds for work to be done on our house - bummer..... There are a few videos of it in action here - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdHjPz9Exqs[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVEiCnAkdFc[/media] Looking for £950 (shipped in UK) - comes with a hard case. No trades please ! [/quote] Bump!

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1373563129' post='2139124'] I'll try to come along, possibly with some of the other Herts-ers from our bash...has anybody invited Yolanda??? [/quote] I intend to email a few special guests with an invite As usual, I can also offer a lift from local train stations. Addlestone, Chertsey & West Byfleet would cover most routes in.

    It was a full band with drums, rhythm geetar and 2 x backing vocals. Well worth a night out.
  20. Hamster
    I suppose if you're playing anything else but your own compositions you must be paying tribute to the band/person who wrote/performed it? But then again, what about a 'tribute' band made up of various ex-members who performed and wrote the songs? - are they a tribute to the name of the band or themselves? What about Dr Feelgood - no original band members in the current line up - so a tribute?

    As it's been mentioned - Bash news soon, just waiting for a booking confirmation.

    Yes it was the gig in Sutton with a young lad called Tobi on guitar. I think with the right agent & publicity he could do quite well, very John Mayer like with some good original songs. Several Free numbers in the set as I don't think Andy would have been let off the stage without playing them. He'll obviously never be free from his condition but he's got a great attitude about it and about looking after himself. Still the showman on stage, but he struck me as very humble about his success when we chatted afterwards. I did invite him to the next South East Bass Bash - but he'll be in Japan

    I had the pleasure of meeting Andy last night - he's still got it [attachment=138493:IMG_0252.JPG]

    I need to make some room, and I don't use this at all now. It's obvious someone has removed the covering and name plate from the front. The back panel is non original and there's been a clumsy speaker XLR out added by a previous owner. I've had it checked out by Steve at [url="http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/wp/"]http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/wp/[/url] who says as far as he can tell the amp section is completely original (although the valves will have been replaced at some time.) It's in full working order, but there's a little hiss which Steve thinks can be fixed by swapping out the caps. It's still got the old Bulgin socket which will have to be changed to an IEC for safety. The build sticker says 15/04/1970 and the serial number SB/A/5988A. Due to it's condition it's very hard to price, but I'd take £500 for it [attachment=138426:DSCN2141.JPG] [attachment=138427:DSCN2142.JPG] [attachment=138428:DSCN2138.JPG] [attachment=138429:DSCN2140.JPG] [attachment=138431:DSCN2139.JPG] [attachment=138432:DSCN2144.JPG] [attachment=138433:DSCN2150.JPG] [attachment=139566:DSCF6591.JPG] [attachment=139567:DSCF6592.JPG] [attachment=139568:DSCF6593.JPG] [attachment=139569:DSCF6594.JPG] [attachment=139570:DSCF6595.JPG] [attachment=139571:DSCF6596.JPG] [attachment=139572:DSCF6597.JPG] [attachment=139573:DSCF6598.JPG] [attachment=139574:DSCF6599.JPG]
