Remember the wise words of Atom Man... DON'T FORGET YOUR EXTENSION LEADS/REELS BECAUSE IF YOU ASK TO BORROW MINE YOU'LL GET A BIG FAT 🖕* * I'd actuality I'd be delighted to share.** ** Or would I..?

Let's see if I can stay longer than fifteen minutes this time. I'll be driving down the evening before from Essex, staying in a hotel and driving back after. Should have room for one passenger. The food. Oh god, the food. @scrumpymike - @Jabba_the_gut - an array of stunning builds, probably @Rich - Spector Q4, Shuker 5-string, G-B Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T @Kateplaysbass - custom build short scale @Woodinblack - Ibanez AGB205, possibly NS WAV5 bass, various amps for mooted amp shootout (tbc) @basstone – @Phil Starr - the usual collection of home built speaker projects @BreadBin – @MichaelDean – @TRBboy – @Chienmortbb - loads of stuff @Thor- a few bits @Frank Blank - Jabba short scale fretted and fretless, Ibanez SRC6, Grace Design Alix, QSC K12.2

I have received a parcel full of goodies from our glorious and generous leader @ped... ...I really must scrub that table!

Excellen. I use the QSC K12.2 and my duo partner uses the K10.2, best choices we ever made!

I've had a bit of a runny nose and been sneezing for a few days so thought I best do a test, very faint positive line but it's there, so I have, at last, joined the Branch Covidians for the first time. Very, very mild cold symptoms, I'm assuming it's the Omicron sub variant Arcturus. Anyway, hopefully I'll be clear by next week 🤞

I did exactly the same, that's a wallet drainer that one!

FTFY

Welcome @TwoRs

We can discuss and eat anything you want, pork pies, kebabs... I mean, seriously, bass guitars or kebabs..? No contest, bring me my chilli sauce.

The Alix has tone and functionality completely covered for our style of music so I've little to do other than tweak aesthetics.

Last iteration, honest. The board looked a bit unbalanced so I added a Boss TU-3W, essentially because, like the other two pedals, it's black and I like the blue lights. I know, I know, so I'm a goth...

Understandable. We can discuss anything you want, pork pies, kebabs...

I've just noticed there are now thirteen possible attendees, obviously that would be very bad luck so can I have a volunteer to not attend thus ensuring the harmony of the proceedings. A form of bass seppuku if you like.

Pay on the door, £10.

'Twas.

This is your fault @Reggaebass...

This is great. I've been looking (for time) for a flexible mains lead with angled head for the back of the QSC.

Due to a glitch in the Matrix... ...or possibly having got over a petulant toy-slinging tantrum... ...it appears I shall be attending after all.

Turns out I can't make the Bash, if @Richard R or @petecarlton PMs me with an address I'll make sure the lanyards get to you.
