    BASH NOTICE I hesitate to bring the (new) 'c'-word into what is meant to be - and will be - a joyous occasion BUT... It's getting to the time of year when we can expect the covid numbers to go up again. If you're not feeling right, please consider taking a test before coming to the Bash as a precautionary measure. Mentioning no names (me!), some of us are getting towards our 'best before' date, so RESPECT please 🙂. We'll make sure there's ventilation and plenty of sanitizer on hand, so you can put some on YOUR hands. If you want to wear a mask, please bring one. Anyone who's pre-paid but doesn't attend cos they're not feeling well WILL get their money back, no questions asked. OK, that's my last word on the subject, I promise.

    Yep, from the voting that's looking like a good compromise.

    Here's the T-shirt pic (see p1 of topic for full details) BUT the shirt you've already ordered was the last 2XL ☹️

    OK, so here's the moment we've all been waiting for - the unveiling of the 2022 menu 🙂 If this doesn't cater for your dietary requirements, just let me know by PM what you need! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 22.docx

    Off topic I know but we've got to cover the cost of the remaining T-shirts somehow 🙂. We're having a massive clear-out at home and some of this stuff may be just what someone's looking for. Just PM me re anything of interest and I'll bring to the Bash. Pre-move sale.docx

    Never too late (except maybe after 4pm on Sunday October 9th). If you can pay in advance as many others have, it will help as we have already settled hall hire have to buy food this week. Just pm me and I'll send you details.

    Sure! See you mate.

    There's only one bolt (technically it's a machine screw) and that's the one fixing the OE button on the upper horn. The two OE buttons on the bottom of the body are fixed with wood screws, looks like one long and one very long! I had to unscrew the shorter (top) one to clamp a large stainless-steel washer between the OE button and the ABS moulding to stop the strap from pulling the brass extension bracket too close to the body. The other problem I had was that the head of the M4 machine screw I used was too big to fit into the Schaller strap-lock pin, so I had to grind the diameter down.

    Welcome to a very select owners' club! Last one? Dammit!! I was toying with the idea of adding the humbie version to my collection ☹️

    Ha-ha! Despite retiring 10 years ago, nowadays busier than ever - this time doing what pleases me 🙂 but for no pay 🤔 Despite the above, still managing to get re-GASSED at regular intervals!

    Obviously we'll miss you but sounds like good things are happening for you.

    Hi Frank, thanks for stepping up to the plate - again!

    BASH COUNT-DOWN - *Call for raffle-prize donations!! - **Call for more info on who's bringing what!! *I'll kick the raffle off with an A1 Fusion shaped/semi-rigid case. It's actually for solid-bodied guitar but was perfect for my ACG s-s headless Reiver. **Also, a CALL FOR HELP! For various reasons I'm up against it time-wise this year, so could someone oblige by setting-up an alphabetical 'who's bringing what' table that includes what's already been posted and can be added to as more info comes in? Thanks, Mike

    Interesting! I use the higher button because it gives me a better tilt angle but I've noticed that the short stainless-steel straight bracket I've added to the top horn reduces the slight neck dive somewhat by shifting the top button towards the twelfth-fret 'sweet spot'. I'm sure a slightly longer bracket would completely get rid of it, so I might give that a try.

    Not many Vox Starstream owners on here (Obrienp and RichT are the ones I know) so this won't be of interest to many. Anyway, it works a treat and, while not cosmetically perfect, it's more than good enough for me. All easily reversible to leave the bass exactly as manufactured.

    I doubt you'll find a guitar case that fits the 'Ray due to its 3+1 headstock design. My SBMM 'Ray came with a branded gig-bag and IIRC was also a good fit in my Fender s-s gig bag. Maruszczyk also do nice s-s gig bags - visit their 'public peace' online shop or you can get the expensive leather ones from Bass Direct. Just bear in mind that the above-mentioned gig bags (including the OE Sterling one) are relatively lightly padded and don't give any real structural protection. If you don't need that, they're fine.

    A thing of great beauty. GLWTS.

    This bass comparison spreadsheet I set up a while back may be of interest to this forum, as they're all short-scale. I've done all I can to make it accurate but can't guarantee it. It's not got everything on it - just stuff I've either owned or been particularly interested in - so if anyone wants to send me missing data I'll update it. Short-scale bass comp.xlsx

    I played a Wal many years ago at the Bass Centre. Sounded and felt solid but very heavy. Sad nerdy person that I am, I've already done a spreadsheet for the s-s basses I've owned or been interested in. I can modify it if anyone has any suggestions. Short-scale bass comp.xlsx
