KevB Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'll try to call in if I can - would a US jazz (S1 switch) and a ric be of any interest to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too far to walk. I'm happy to pop into town and give anyone a lift if needed from the station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Ok, first post quickly updated because I'm in a bit of a rush. I'm going to make it 1.30pm until 6.00pm, because I can't guarentee I'll be there for 1.00pm, I have fencing 11.00-12.00, and whilst usually I'd skip it, I've got my coaching assessment the next day so I'd like to try and get that session in.

ThomBassmonkey Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Not sure how long I'll be able to stay for now, I have a gig in Shropshire in the evening so depending on what the car sharing plan is, I'll probably need to set off around 4ish at the latest. I'll still bring all the stuff I mentioned (I'm going to need it for the gig anyway, so it makes sense to bring it with me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Im not going to be able to make it guys sorry. Have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) I wont be there till 2 at the earliest as I have to do shopping and get a tyre changed first. Edited November 18, 2010 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-string-thing Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 might have a plumber coming to fix a leaking pipe, so might not be able to make this after all.... Hopefully when he said "will be friday or saturday" he meant friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Bugger, really wanted to come, started up the M42 and the bonnet catch on the car started playing up. Having had a bonnet become liberated and flap up in front of me before, I gave up on the trip and went back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 First post-bash post! Twas good fun, got to meet a lot of great people, try some new basses, and put names to faces. Good laugh all around! My favourite item of the day was the Barefaced Midget - was very impressed by the volume/sound to size/weight ratio. What were others' favourite(s)?

pantherairsoft Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Was a fun day, nice to meet plenty of like-minded people. Barefaced was certainly a pleasant surprise. Mikes Sei also struck a note with me (as well as his hair )... A few pics I took - Apologies they were taken on a poor iPhone cam in a badly lit room, but figured I should post them anyway - Actually the pics are REALLY bad Shep Edited November 20, 2010 by pantherairsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Great afternoon, and some brilliant gear.

Oakbear Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Had a wicked afternoon ta guys, a pleasure to meet you all. Worth staying up for after a night at work, but i'll suffer tonight! The Barefaced was definately a highlight for me too, amazing for something the size of a largish briefcase! Many, many wonderful basses though! I think the Wood&tronics would definately of been top had it had enough strings! The Marseer was awesome too. That Sei had something as well.... Ah too many to choose from!

Geek99 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Apols for bailing early, the little munchkin needed feeding. Thanks to everyone for letting me try their stuff, liked the b2a and the sei fretless especially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Got to say I was impressed by simon1964's black Ricky with black scraptchplate and black truss rod cover. Seriously cool. mcgrahams Wood and Tronics basses were superb, a sweeter tone you will never hear, they were brilliant, and this was through the Barefaces midget, which in itself was astonishing for such a wee thing.

pantherairsoft Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Oakbears Ritter needs a heads up too for being the ugliest… yet one of the most desirable instruments there… I'm not sure how beauty comes from oddness but that bass seems to achieve it so damn well!

geoffbyrne Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I've got to apologise for saying I'd *definitely* be there - then not turning up. We had the death of a close family friend & I had to drive from Loughborough to just outside Hungerford Berks. on Friday, then back again. To be honest, there was no way I could face going to the Bass Bash on Saturday. Sorry guys. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sorry to hear that Geoff. My condolences... There will be many more Bass Bash's to come I'm sure, so plenty of chances to catch up Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatEric Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Great afternoon. Never been to one of these before but would definately go again. Met some nice people and managed to put a few user names to some faces, although some remain a mystery - perhaps we sould do "Paddington Bear" type name tags next time. DaveC had some really nice gear and a newly acquired Roland Bass Synth pedal, fitted to a Cort. Some great sounds. Simon had some very nice basses and from the same family, a self built, completed in five days. Most impressed! The Barefaced cab really impressed me - so small and yet so powerful - very tempting. A few lads in the corner, noodling of five and six strings had a lot of attn, as we gathered round to watch. Too many strings for me! First time I had seen a GUS in the flesh and found a Yamaha from the same owner, that was heavier than some of my basses! Simon took a great shot of my twin - the guy playing it in the pic, standing next to DaveC, had a very nice MIJ Jazz with period tuners fitted - lovely to play but had a issue with the badck pup. Hope you get it sorted All in all, a well worth event. If you get chance to go to one in your area - make the effort, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Look forward to the next one. Cheers.

Prime_BASS Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks for all the compliments for the Barefaced midget, can't recommend it enough to anyone . My praise has to go to the W&T Klimt that McGraham brought along with his tickling his strings technique. Really enjoyed playing some fine basses, and a good laugh meeting everyone. Looking forward to another bash in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-string-thing Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Aplogies for not making this, plumber let me down (arrived saturday lunchtime instead of the wished-for friday) by the time he'd finished, it was too late. Sounds like I missed a good afternoon though and will definitely make the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
