I'll double the number of tea bags to 300 and mark them for your use only.

@rwillett @bigthumb @neepheid @ead @80Hz @GreeneKing @stevie @nekomatic @ossyrocks @peterjam @doomkeeper @Frank Blank @zbd1960 @bagsieblue <-- TBC Also nobody has stated any food requirements, such as vegetarian, allergies or similar. Sadly Chateaubriand is not a requirement Thanks Rob

I'm glad we have met your expectations....

And your address and exactly where it is in the house please....Any holiday plans this year? If BassChat stopped humorous posts, there'd be a riot. A couple of threads are very serious and due weight should be given to them as they cover serious matters, many threads are very funny, some are crude, some are funny and crude, there's an awful lot of knowledge on this thread, so if you have a question on the exact slot width of a 67 Jazz pickup screw, somebody will know and will reach out to help. Never be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they are 'stupid' as 9/10 people will go "I didn't know that". That's how I am still learning, and you're never too old to learn. And talking about people not taking things seriously, I can see that @neepheid has posted a reply Rob

Welcome to Basschat. Some nice old basses in there. Where in the US are you? Rob

We now have 13 attendees. Probably space for 1-2 more. @rwillett @bigthumb @neepheid @ead @80Hz @GreeneKing @stevie @nekomatic @ossyrocks @peterjam @doomkeeper @Frank Blank @zbd1960

We don't have access to the village hall the night before so we will setup in the morning. I'll have access from around 0830 and will start putting tables out from then, for a circa 0930 start. I'm at a rugby club end of season presentation the night before but am driving so will be sober. There is no definitive start time though, but I'll be there from 0830. We'll set up tables for everyone we know is coming.

Phrases such as: 1. Always had it. 2. You must have forgotten the colour, its always been bright silver. No it was never, ever black. 3. it was so cheap, it would have cost money not to buy it. 4. I sold some other stuff so its actually cost nothing Are useful sentences to remember . rob

I'm down in Chesterfield at my mums and was trying to get to Richtone in Sheffield, thankfully it closes at 17:00 and so my credit card is safe for a few more days.

Anybody bringing any FRFR speakers please? looking at getting one

There's a lot more in the condition details. Its ex Jack Bruce which explains the high cost.

Seems a lot of money but it does look very nice. I actually like the colour the body has faded to rather than the blue on the headstock. I don't seem to have won the Planet Rock pay out this week so I'll just have to wait until next week. Rpb

That's one of Dalis most famous paintings, The Persistence of Memory done in 1931. A good background and analysis is here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Memory

Mmmm.....

I've just worked it out, it's actually a guitar from Salvador Dali

I did and I'll not sleep tonight, the horror, the horror...

It's all.down to your new pedalboard 😊

I do have a number of 3d printers but possibly more importantly I have a decent 3d scanner. So if you can't find a 3d model to use, and you have a truss rod cover I can get my hands on for a day, I can scan it, model it and print it. If you need to bend the plastic sheet then a hairdryer may help. It all depends on the plastic. Let me know if I can help.

I can see a small amount of unused space on that board. Tut, letting the side down.

Motorheadache in Bradford tonight 12/4/25. Suspect I'll be the one at the back, pressed against the wall, with ear plugs in

Its wonderful to watch as @neepheid stretches space-time to get all the stuff in. Doctor Who is a mere amateur....

Have you changed car since last year? Or still playing Tetris?

That sounds great. Bring what you wish, we'll have space and it gives people a chance to try stuff out. I'd be interested in the lightweight setup but I suspect all is of interest. If you're coming from Liverpool, I'd probably come all the way up to J36 on the M6 rather than coming off at Lancaster and threading your weight through the countryside via Wennington and Bentham. My eldest was in Alder Hay for a while so we got to know the Clapham to Liverpool journey very well for six months or so. Rob

Technically less than a month to go now I have 11-12 attendees. @rwillett @bigthumb @neepheid @ead @80Hz @GreeneKing @stevie @nekomatic <-- TBC @ossyrocks @peterjam @doomkeeper @Frank Blank Food will be provided, in the form of pizza. So if anybody has any dietary preferences such as vegetarian or allergies please let me know, so we can cater for you. You are also welcome to bring your own food. There is a full kitchen and (I think) a microwave. Tea and coffee will be on tap all through the day. There's no issues if other people want to come or bring friends. @zbd1960 are you coming down? Rob

My brackets take 100Kg, tested to more than that with a rugby player standing on one leg to put all the weight on one foot on one bracket, so let me know if you need some proper ones printed
