I found the way you did it really useful as it clearly demonstrated the relative differences. Thanks again for doing it Phil.

I had the signature mini bass - KenKen?? Couldn't really fault it except for one minor irritation - the scratch-plate was so thick that it had to be removed to get an allen key in to the truss-rod adjustment slot. The tonal flavouring wasn't quite to my liking so I moved it on. -

Very nice too. Resting after a strenuous gig? 😊 -
Me and Mrs. S set the stopwatch running. It's taken you 3m25sec to reply - what kept you? Don't forget you'll need a bigger car for next year.😄

Just confirming hall booked for October 12th, 2025 as instructed by neepheid 😁

Last but by no means least, thanks as always to Phil Starr, Stevie, chienmortbb and MoJoKe for bringing your knowledge, expertise and products to the party. 👍

Once again, a good time was had by all.

Here's the group shot - more later. Thanks for coming everybody😊

Sorry, had a look but couldn't find anything reasonable let alone cheap. Accommodation prices have gone silly in recent years. You'd be better paying Rich a tenner to put the duvet cover on himself - me, I'd pay £20 to get out of doing that job 😉.

Thanks, hope the new kitchen goes well too.
-
Darn! I always like the stuff you bring. Wish you better soon.

Catering will be unaffected in terms of quality and quantity, as a lot of it can be prepped in advance; you might just have to queue a bit longer for it 🙂😋

BASH S.O.S. Last-minute lurgi and personal accident have decimated the Scrumpettes!!! As things stand, Gabs and Sabby will be the only full-timers in the kitchen plus a friend who can help first thing and come back around lunch-time. The normal number of helpers is six. Soooo, do any of you Bashers have a partner or teenager who's handy in the kitchen and can be persuaded/bribed/kidnapped to help? Hopefully enough of you to avoid me having to spend the day in the 'engine room' 😐

No, just pay on the door.

These are brilliant! Absolutely love mine and it won the amp shoot-out at last year's S-W Bass Bash. -
I've put the word out locally and will get back to you soonest.

Just the usual 'week before the Bash' shout-out for anyone with mains cable extension leads to please bring them. Also, anyone who can arrive early (any time after 8.30am) and help with set-up will be most welcome and get their breakfast thrown in - their mouths, that is 🙂
-
Sure, no problem.
-
No, just a crash.
-
Should have added they'll be made most welcome 🙂
-
Sure, no problem - so that will be the two of them? Let me have their names if they're definitely coming.

Nice video, bass sounds great.

Brilliant! Even though I don't have one now, I'm basically a Gibson guy. Back in the day, I gigged a couple of Les Paul Triumphs. Loved them but heavier than a very heavy thing so I decided to cash them in. Followed up with a lovely black SG re-issue bought new in 2008. Should never have sold it really but the strap balance was poor and over recent years the ergonomic side of playing has become more important to me.
