Hi Folks, I had the pleasure of meeting @Cairobill, aka Nick, for the first time yesterday... Typical time-honoured format for a Basschat meet up; two teenage musos masquerading as grown-ups, chatting away carside in a motorway services station, somewhere south of London. Only difference these days is that there's no actual cash changing hands - that all takes place digitally of course.. But still, something physical changes hands - in this case, Nick's beautiful sonic blue MIJ Fender Jazz, which is now residing rather smugly on a stand in Silverfoxnik Towers demanding to be played. What can I say other than it's always great to meet with fellow Basschatters, especially ones you've known of on the forum since the early 2006/7 days.. And that's so true where Nick's concerned - he's a great guy to talk to, an extremely talented musician and singer-songwriter, and he knows his stuff when it comes to Jazz basses and bass gesr in general ! And what's more, he's very easy and open to deal with, so buy/sell/trade with Nick in absolute confidence Folks. Thanks for a fascinating chat yesterday Nick, and for a fabulous Jazz Bass - it played and sounded great at rehearsals yesterday afternoon (as I kind of knew it would). 👍😊 Nik

+1 for the DBX 160x..

Ah, that was possibly the most famous South East Bass Bash workshop of all time @pete.young.. 😁 Happy days... 👍😊

Just adding to this new thread for Elliott, and echoing what @Mudpuphas already said above. Elliott bought an Aguilar DB212 cab off me a year or so ago, before he joined Basschat. It was a very smooth transaction i have to say.. Elliott's a great person to deal with, knows his gear, and is a fab bass player too! Highly recommended! 👍😊

Very sad news indeed! Never met him as some here have, but I loved his bass playing and thought he came across as a decent human being in the interviews I saw him do. More than anything though, I'll remember his musical contribution as being especially significant in terms of Kate Bush's career - what he supported and enabled her to go on and achieve with her music can't be underestimated. RIP 😔

Me too!! Happy gear-free 2024 Everyone... 😁

Just bought a cool little Ampeg pedal from Gary, aka @cetera. What's to say other than it was a perfect transaction with one of Basschat's finest!! Great comms, fast delivery and packaging and a great piece of kit too. Highly recommended... 👍 Thanks Gary - here's to the next one! 😁 Nik

Thanks @Merton 🙏 I'm really gutted to have missed it, but it looks from the photos and comments that you all had a stellar day! Huge congratulations to @Hamster @cetera @The Greek and @TrevorR for putting such a great Bash together!! 👏👏 Such a brilliant trio of guests and a really good turn out, too it seems.. Can't believe Barry Moorhouse's hair in the photos - he was equally flamboyant and bouffant back in the good old days at the wonderful Wapping Bass Centre! 😁 Roll on 2024.. Nik

Hi Folks, Looks like I'm not going to be able to make it today as I'm not feeling well this morning.. I had a rough night with very little sleep. I'm absolutely gutted about this as it looks like it's going to be one of the best SE Bass Bashes for some time! Have a good one and I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing the photos. Nik

With a collection like that, it'd be rude not to bring your basses @tubbybloke68.. 😁
