Probably also bring two of the '64 Precision, Shuker, and G&L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This no slapping rule is going to hamper one of my key personal objectives - namely, that someone could show me how to do it! I'm a horrendous slapper (hmm... that came out wrong) so could do with a few tips. How will I ever cut through the noise of a saturday afternoon music shop without some prolific slapping skills? I'd probably bring my Lakland DJ4 for sport, or the BC Rich custom... I doubt many will have played the latter, so it's a likely companion.

david_l_perry Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm coming along again...nice to support these bashes as it takes a lot to organise. Always good to meet people face to face I recall they did a nice burger and curly fries in the bar last time.... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) As well as there being a selection of Mark Bass Amps and Cabs to try on the day ( they hope to announce a special Yor-Bash 2011 discount for purchases at the Bash), Mark Bass have kindly agreed to donate one of their super new pedals as well!!! Watch out for details of how to buy your £10 entry in advance, order your Yor-Bash 2011 t-shirt and get your free ticket to the Raffle. Those who buy on the day may not get the t-shirt size of their choice and definitely not have their name printed on the back! Jon Shuker is hopeful of attending and will be showing the new Shuker Satinline Bass. Edited January 31, 2011 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
