Errr, no I'm not

Certainly!

That's certainly what Mrs. Scrumpy thinks - luckily for us

" Sounds immense. I think, what I've been hearing for years in my head. Feeling pretty blessed right now " Hey Ceebass, that's the sound we're all looking for. I've finally found mine too - or close enough to make no difference! Hopefully the sound in my head won't change, as the cost could go from expensive to EXTREMELY expensive!

That's true in terms of general styling but the Frog is a much more substantial beast. The more compact s-s Cazpar is perfect for me though.

OK guys, never mind all this idle gossip about gear - Mrs Scrumpy has asked me to post the important bit: Mrs Scrumpy’s kitchen is proud to present TBFS-W Bass Bash 2018 Menu Tea /coffee served all day with homemade oat biscuits & scones (just hang on to your mug for refills!) Breakfast frittata at 10:00 Lunch (served from 12:30-13:30): Chicken & Ham Pie Mediterranean vegetable quiche Curried eggs Coleslaw Salads Jacket tatties – plus other stuff!!!! Dessert: Fruit Crumble & Cream Fresh Fruit Salad Banana Loaf Chocolate cake….. and anything else I can make on the day Enjoy!! As last year, there will also be home-made ratatouille to offer our vegetarian and vegan friends a bit more variety.

Wow - that would be two grand well spent!

Not surprised to hear that. Mind you, I suppose if you compared a home-build with an expensive equivalent and discovered you couldn't tell the difference, you'd feel that you'd made a pretty important discovery.

I'd not seen this until stewblack flagged it up to me with a pm (thanks for that). All I can say is bring it on Phil!

Yes indeed, I know Darcy well (with and without my Gillett hat on) and will definitely be inviting him along. As long as he doesn't raffle the demo Contour bass he has in the shop

This sad news brings back a special memory for me too. I had the unexpected pleasure of chatting to JR when me and my son unwittingly ran into a Kinks video shoot early one sunny Sunday morning in the Cambridgeshire flat-lands where we lived . (This was not long after I'd seen their live gig at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, at which JR had played a blinder - as they all did.) The production crew wouldn't let us continue our journey along the country road they had 'commandeered' and invited us to have breakfast in the chuck wagon until they were done. We'd just demolished our full English when this powder-blue open-top Cadillac rolls up with the band in it. As soon as they piled out, Davies jr. was whisked away by the sycophantic production team leaving the others just hanging around looking lost. So I grabbed my chance and had a good chat with JR. Such a nice guy, sadly missed.

Darn! I wanted that to be a surprise

" In all my days of Basschat, Bassworld and what ever we had before, I have never yet been to a Bass Bash so have little idea of what to expect." Hi Sean and thanks for posting - just imagine a jeweller visiting Aladin's cave with a few mates

If you think the mods are bad, wait til you see the rockers!

Not at all - we love distinctive shapes

That gets my vote!

I've also got a Magellan 800. It's a fabulous amp but has a cleaner, less warm/vintage core tone compared with the Mesa (although this can largely be off-set with the Magellan tone-shaping). Generally, I've found that the Genzler works great thru my One10s and the Mesa is equally good thru my SC. They're both close enough to the ideal tone in my head to to satisfy me but I'd say the Subway / SC pairing just edges it for me. However, if I could only keep one amp to run both the One10s and the SC (not together), I think the excellent Magellan would have to be the one. Must have another try-out of my mate's TH500 with the BF cab's - maybe I can persuade him that he 'needs' an AG700 as well (and so it goes on ).
