Can't remember the name of it, but it's where you pop G, slap E, pop G, slap E using index, thumb, index, thumb respectively. Mute all the strings with your left hand and you should get the sound in the recording. Strings can be different depending on the exact tone you're after, but hopefully you get the idea. Hope that helps.

Not everyone can do this, but I've never bought an instrument I've not played beforehand. Does that mean I've passed up the opportunity to find my ultimate bass? Maybe, but on the flipside I've never bought a bass that's anything less than great, let alone owned a bass I've hated.

Just to echo everyone else by saying it was a fabulous day, and thank you all those who helped make it happen. I thought I saw a double bass case, but never saw a second (double?) double bass. Whose was it? It's a shame I never got a chance trace the owner to see that. Other than that a perfect day☺️. That BC 108 cab was delicious, as was the food. Thanks all!

Anyone with recommendations for a place to stay Sunday->Monday? Cheap is my top priority, then proximity to any post-bash pub session (if it happens).

Haven't had anyone take me up on a lift, so what opinions are there on cheap places to stay? I'm looking at Travelodge, but what usually happens after the event? Is there a post-event pub session, in which case walking distance from my lodgings would be important, or does everyone scatter immediately afterwards? Updated the list to add a requested cabinet to what I'm bringing. @scrumpymike - everything he owns unless he sells it between now and then @Rich- Shuker 5-string, something else (will toss a coin on the day), Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T cab. @Kateplaysbass - Ashdown CTM-100 and LB212, Pawn Shop Mustang, medium scale ACG Finn, and maybe also ACG Recurve and Bass Collection 5 string fretless, since I'm thinking about offloading both of those @Woodinblack - Bongo, because its lovely and uncommon, Acrylic bass, for shits and giggles, Chapman stick, Lava Me guitar @Richard R - Brawley 5 string, as usual, HB 5 String thing with Roland hex pickup and V-bass COSM synth. @BreadBin- something interesting @chyc - Double bass, Ashbory Bass, GSS 06B400MKD combo, BC 112mk3 cabinet, and on the request any of Warwick Streamer fretless, Sandberg Custom 5 with Delano XTender, Sandberg TT Marcus Miller rip-off, BC 110T cabinet, , Acoustic Image Coda @TRBboy - Frost Custom Basses PJ5 (my first build from scratch), Sandberg California TT5 Passive, possibly my customised Yamaha BBN5, Markbass Stu Amp 1000w, GR Bass GR 410+ (1200w, 4 ohm), a fairly unexciting pedal board 😅, & converted Trace 1x15" cab, if it's in a satisfactory state by then @Stub Mandrel - Joyo BadASS & PJB C2, American Vintage II 1960 Precision & Squier 40th Anniversary Precision for side by side comparison. Teisco/Kay Tulip for sh*ts and giggles. @obbm - '71 Jazz, '73 Precision, Sadowsky HPJ, Genzler Magellan 350, BF One10 x2, Pedals plus TBA plus raffle donation. @Chienmortbb - Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass, Sire Marcus Miller M2, Bugera Veyron.

Sign me up! I will bring: A very nice double bass (well, I think so anyway) An Ashbory Bass GSS 06B400MKD combo Anyone who lives between Oxford and the venue who needs a lift and is willing to pay a little towards petrol. I went to last year's SE Bass Bash and brought the following, but they didn't seem to garner much interest. If you want me to bring them, let me know: Warwick Streamer fretless Sandberg Custom 5 with Delano XTender Sandberg TT Marcus Miller rip-off BC 110T cabinet BC 112mk3 cabinet Acoustic Image Coda

Thanks for that, both @tauzero and @Phil Starr. I probably should say some things for the defence of the lazy while I'm here: I do have a hole saw. It cuts very nice and precise holes. Unfortunately it's horrible to work with with a hand drill and, more importantly, drainpipes are not made to a precision that makes for a nice fit anyway. I was sanding down my hole to make it fit (pipe down Kenneth Williams). Unless you're building more than a couple of boxes, or unless you have spare drainpipe, buying a dedicated port tube will be cheaper.

This looks fab. Thanks for the design. I want to make this. One aspect of building these that I struggle with is cutting for the port. I spend ages on cutting a round hole, only to find it's not a great fit etc. How would I go about swapping out the drain pipe for something a little (IMO) nice looking and easier to work with such as this Tuff Cab Port Tube? I presume it's a trip to WinISD, but if someone has the dimensions to hand to see if it's a goer, I would be eternally grateful 🙂.

I would like to come to this. I haven't necessarily thought this through entirely, but I'd have to drive close to Oxford, Swindon and Bristol on my way to Taunton, so would anyone like a lift to Taunton, in return for some shared petrol money? I suppose the kicker is that with two bodies in a reasonably small car there'll be limited space for your gear, but I'm sure I can accommodate some stuff at least. I'm not committed to coming yet: the diary is cloudy that far in the future and I may have missed something, but I thought I'd sound this out in good time to start a conversation. Contact me via direct message if you're interested.

With a name like "Ashborygirl", I think it's a given you like short scale basses

Do you not even take the strings off to clean the fingerboard?

Some people gave tips, the majority said don't do that. I accept that. Perhaps yes there is some disappointment that I cannot do what I want to do, but in a way I should be glad that there was not much I could have done to prevent failure doing what I was doing.
