Birmingham! Still waiting for an to pass the baton on to. Interested?

I'm in Northern Ireland buddy. Was wondering just how far north the bass had come. I'm not in a band currently, so have no place to use the bass, but if it came this length, I think I could maybe encourage a couple of local bassists to use it. That was all I was thinking, really.

Hi guys,

I'm starting to feel that the bass relay has run it's course. Are any other BCers interested in taking a go before I consider pulling it?

A big thank you to everyone's continued efforts throughout the relay, I really cannot thank you all enough for everything you've all done.

Thanks,

James

Well done James , it is you who deserves the praise , everyone else just played the thing

It is a shame that it has come to a bit of a stop , but is sometimes the way of things , I guess it is up to the BC massive to decide if they want to pick up the baton, literately.

A last ROLL UP , ROLL UP , and take the chance to raise some money for cancer research and be a part of a great event .

Maybe auction it off now then with T-shirt and book , or keep the bits for your bottom drawer

[Silvia Bluejay]

I'll tweet this final appeal later today. Well done to all involved.

[GrammeFriday]

I've had a few expressions of interest but nothing firm at the mo.

OK, what I reckon, is that we leave it for one more week. If there is no further interest or no one steps forward, I'll declare the relay over. I'll save the kind words/speech until then 😛 Once again, thank you everyone for your continued support and efforts.

Cheers

James

I've sent him a PM......lets see what happens!

[GrammeFriday]

HI Raymondo. Already PMd you back! I'm around tomorrow so handover should be no problem.
Great to hear that the relay goes on!

[GrammeFriday]

PS It's the White Horse, not the White Lion, isn't it? (I don't think there is a White Lion in Harborne, but I may be wrong about that)

[Raymondo]

Replied GF shouldn't be a problem ....off we go again!
Yes it's the White Horse ....played there loads of times but my head just keeps calling it the White Lion....told you my memory was rubbish

This was my first gig back with my old band after a two year break,funnily enough at the venue I played my last gig with them!

It was a great night most people were happy to donate a little and listened when I explained what Neil and I were doing posing for photos and waving the Purple beauty about (now now,keep your naughty thoughts to yourselves!).

The PB is now in Nottingham awaiting it's next adventure.
I am happy to drive anywhere in the country ,with enough notice, to hand it over, so please offer your services....lets keep this going!

Regards
Ray

[Roland Rock]

I'd love to do this, but struggling to think how I'll cope with a four string at the gig - will give it some thought

[GrammeFriday]

I was going to suggest drop-tuning it to BEAD, but then thought better of it - having got to know PP a bit I'm not sure how well she would cope with that!

[Raymondo]

A reminder......the bass is in Nottingham,and I can take it to where you live, if you want to keep the ball rolling!

[sbrag]

I'm happy to take the bass if it comes down near Bristol. Cheers

[Raymondo]

I am sure I can sort that...i'll PM you.

[Raymondo]

I am taking the bass down to The White Swan in Trowbridge on Saturday the 25th of October to hand it over to sbrag at his gig there...nice little B&B booked so that I can enjoy a pint or two and watch the gig.....my first time in Trowbridge...come and join us!!
