The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021
Frank Blank replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
Unfortunately. I will not be attending but have a great time. -
True. My one moment of doubt was when I heard a thin reedy sound coming from what sounded like the papier-mâché horn of an ancient gramophone, but then I realised it was @Stub Mandrel's rig...

Just because it reminds me of being dragged to a party by two punk/rude girl crossover ladies in my youth. Ended up in a big old house in Walthamstow that was absolutely rammed with huge skinheads. Now, with my skinhead-popular neon pink mohican, I assumed I was in line for a kicking, however, they turned out to be massively friendly and hugely into music, I should have known by the smell of the place, not glue but weed. Being smashed out of my bonce and dancing to Jamming in a room entirely packed with grinning skinheads is one of my fondest memories from back then. One of the women I was with put on Rock Lobster and I thought the vibe would come crashing down but no, another great memory is the same room totally getting down to the B52s too! Great night, happy times.

That’s how you got out of setting up last time! 😉 -
Likewise, it’s been decades!

I was just thinking, whilst perusing the glorious variety of music on this most excellent of threads, that whenever I listen to a reggae track these days there is an element to my enjoyment missing and, after a few months of it niggling at the back of my brain during each listen I’ve suddenly realised what it is, I’m not smushed out of my gourd. Odd it should take that long to realise.

Aerodynes get a bad press I think, loved mine, played like a dream and, as you say, really light. Definitely the best fender I ever had.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Dragged the cash out of your wallet did I? 🙄 When I was appearing in Captain Scarlet, obviously… 🙄 I had a twang on your Mouse at Clarky’s… Not a sentence you ever envisage constructing really. -

I was half way home before I realised I hadn’t tried that! -
Yes, it’s a Piezo.
-
It was the headstock that first made me check his basses out, it looked so different from right across the room.
-
That's actually exactly the right word, it's lush. Extraordinarily nice!
-
It is 32" (I think, @Jabba_the_gut will be along in minute to correct me!) It has a glassy element to the sound that I love but it's so round and rich too. I would have no problem playing dub with it, it's got a huge sound, exactly the sound I have been looking for for decades.
