Oh bloody hell, this looks glorious. And I bloody forgot to post the BC lanyards up to @rwillett as I noticed too late on Saturday morning... Ach well, hoping it was successful enough that there will be another one when I can arrive with votive gifts as well as cake!

I am, to say the least, gutted...

Do you promise?

Christ, always lusted after one of these...

That's right, you never know! Usually, when the Bash is due, people will start putting their names down on a gear list, so you know what's being brought along and people will say what they are looking forward to seeing. We all go home wishing we had one or two (or eleventy three) of the basses on show but you only have a year to wait until you can have another go! 🤣 Get it in, highlight of the Basschat year. Why didn't I think of linking to that...

Superb is what it is! You turn up in the morning, having bought any bass gear you see fit, pay a tenner (for the hire of the hall) and you spend the day checking out everyone else's basses and amps. Not only that, the SWBB speciality is a superb lunch made by Mrs Scrumpy and her Scrumpettes. Essentially it is day for bass players to simply indulge themselves in loads of basses and gear. Lots of folk drive miles (it's 230 miles for me and I've done it twice) worth every mile I'd say!

I totally forgot to book a hotel, must do it now!

My favourite reggae groove...

I was expressing joy at Basschatters helping out a fellow Basschatter with a problem, the forum doing it's thing.

Basschat does exactly what it says on the tin, there. Problem solved - no horse s***. Textbook.

Are you attending @Blues Rock Dawn? Should we add you to the list?

I play a lot of chords on bass in my little band. I use a QSC K12.2 FRFR set up. Bass > Effectrode PC-2A > Grace Design Alix > QSC K12.2

That's big sheep. Chana and tarka dals I assume? Any others..? That sounds perfect, hopefully they do take out coffee at the cafe?

I was at Nomis Studios in Olympia working for a band doing pre-tour rehearsals, finding myself caught short and a little refreshed I wobbled off to find the bog. Finding an unoccupied urinal between two urinals occupied by Andy Taylor and John Taylor of Duran Duran I immediately set my mind to thinking of something witty to say, by the time I did they'd both gone so I wobbled back to our room and drank more saké.

Throw a sickie, it's a British tradition, almost a right.

Splendid. It'll be cool if there's four of us!

Excellent! Was just about to check this was still going ahead, is it definite enough that I can book a hotel?

Hopefully we can all agree that regardless of inner dialogue/monologue, Kylie Minogue is rather marvellous.
