yorks5stringer Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'll do some photos in the week, just got in from Wedding gig in Halifax and I'll name all the guilty parties from this afternoon too! Just for the record I didn't try anyone else's bass, picked up Dr D's Shuker then got distracted.....and I organised the bl**dy bash! We raised around £40 with the Raffle and some contributions from items sold, but we still have the auction basses and case so watch this space for perhaps a National Basschat Charity Auction/sale? Thanks to all who attended, names to follow! Knackered now so off to bed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just a quickie to say thanks Keith for fixing the bash and all the hard work you put into it! Hope the wedding went well. See you at the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) [b]Some photos, the captions are not entirely accurate![/b] [attachment=10175:Picture_001.jpg] Dr Dave tells Rhino "I've nicked your bass and what are you going to do about it?" Mr Bassman in the background, pretending not to listen. [attachment=10176:Picture_002.jpg] James, member of the Zombies and also from Beat-It Music in Baildon. He was later put out of his torment with a pointed headstock to his heart. [attachment=10177:Picture_005.jpg] Rhino gets his lovely Jazz Bass back from Dr Dave just in time to show off his PJB's. A Little Mark 250 nestles snugly on an Epiphany 1x15 cab that had to be weighted down, so light it kept floating off! [attachment=10178:Picture_003.jpg] Some tasty gear including a Washburn double neck, fretted/unfretted. Also a brace? of Wals [attachment=10179:Picture_006.jpg] A lovely Status Groove 5 Stringer from Beat-It, (used to be mine!) [attachment=10180:Picture_007.jpg] Dr Dave's thinning patch and in the background Argh's Jim Fleeting 9 String Bass?

I was forced to donate my normally overflowing locks to weave into strings for Argh's bass !!! Nearly 26 years old and taking abuse like this - whatever next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=10183:Picture_010.jpg] Local bassist Rikki tries not to lose his number, as he defies gravity by playing stood on his side. [attachment=10184:Picture_012.jpg] Dr Dave tries to put off Clinton by gently blowing on his exposed arm [attachment=10185:Picture_013.jpg] Bren Travis, Clinton and Toasted decide that putting all their basses into one case was not a good idea as now they are all tangled.

yorks5stringer Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) The guilty men and women named: Rhino, Dr Dave, Toasted, Funkypenguin, Argh, Mr Bassman, Jobiebass, Clinton, Bren Travis, Noisedude, Sifiziiz, Tonybassplayer. Thanks to all these and any other Basschatters who attended and whose names I did not get. A further half dozen other 'normal' Bassists came along including Riki, Ged, Graham and Siarlot, and James. Thanks to everyone who bought Raffle Tickets, we raised £40. Also thanks to those who donated/sponsored the event including Rhino, Beat-It Music of Baildon, Strings and Things,and the Copper Beech Club who let us have the venue foc and donated a Raffle Prize. Thanks to Bren Travis who gave away software and mode charts and was available for tutoring. Sorry about the crap and hastily edited photos and captions: the Samosas are from work today and as I had my camera.......! Watch this space for details about the Auction of the Tanglewood and Extreme Basses and the Flight Case: we decided we would be unlikely to raise enough money on the day. Apologies too if you feel my photos or captions did not do you justice but I hope you all felt it was worthwhile!
