[chaypup]

I'll be bringing my Daion XB-2 and Westone Thunder II with dual P pickups and XLR output for the 'JapCrap' lovers.

[FuNkShUi]

Ill bring a '87 Warwick streamer, a Shuker J Bass Classic, and i can bring my MarkBass Rig if needed. Let me know if you do want me to bring that though?

[Marc S]

I'll prob bring my David Gage DB
Musicman Stingray, and Ibanez Electroacoustic bass

Amp-wise, I'll bring my PJ head and one 4x5 speaker cab
Might poss bring my Markbass 210 combo too
If anyone wants to play about with one of those?

All assuming I can get all that in my car, of course

EDIT: I'm not coming very far - so if someone wants me to bring anything else,
or I forget anything - it should be fine.....

PS. Am thinking I might flog my Stagg EUB
So I could bring that, if anyone's interested,
and I then make some donation to BC afterwards......

Had a Rumble 100 once
Nice combo - just a tad heavy for my ageing bod.....

Looking forward to the wide range of gear folk are bringing

[Mr Fretbuzz]

No this is one of the new ones Marc... Unbelievably light

PS you look familiar. Were you sitting next to me at Joe Bonamassa? :-)

Haven't tried one of the newer series
Although heavy, my old Rumble 100 had a great sound
Loud too. So if the new ones are lighter and sound just as good - perfect

No, I wasn't at Joe Bonamassa
Perhaps I've got one of those "familiar faces"?

[gelfin]

Just a quick reminder to all interested that the Cardiff South Wales Bash is next Sturday.

Look for ward to seeing you all there. details at the top of thread.

[SpaceChick]

Don't think I'm going to make it this afternoon.

Too much on, and not feeling particularly healthy at the moment either (hubby been ill with a heavy cold and I think he's shared it!)

Have fun everyone, and I hope to see some pictures!

[Marc S]

Hope you're feeling better now SpaceChick?
Just wanted to say thanks again to Gelfin,
for setting this up

Can't wait for the next one now

PS. Who was the BC'er who owned that lovely Warwick, with the thin neck?

[FuNkShUi]

That would be me

I got the date wrong though. Its an '87 Warwick streamer, not an '83.

If you ever need to have another trial of it before splashing out, let me know.

Hi Kert,

Yes, that bass was fab
Never played a Warwick quite like it before
I've been looking at them on ebay and on here since playing your bass

Did you say it was an anniversary bass, or some special model?

Marc

[FuNkShUi]

No its not a special edition or anything like that. Quite rare on the 2nd hand market though.

I think i may have mentioned that it was made in the time when they were hand built?

The quality of the builds seemed to drop in the 90's, just my opinion of course.

The build quality definitely seems to have improved again now though

[Marc S]

All the ones I've seen since (and before yours, if my memory serves me)
were bolt on necks - whereas yours is a through neck
Can't find any pics of one like yours either....

As you say, that bass is a keeper
Like gelfin's Rickenbacker

[FuNkShUi]

They dont come around very often Marc, but i have see one other very similar on here.
If i do see/hear of another, ill let you know

[gelfin]

Hi all

I'm thinking of doing the next bash late October or sometime in November.

Cooler weather and no school hols etc.

Last one was quite intimate and enjoyable but would like to meet a lot more BCers for the next one.

Give me some idea of what dates are good and I will see what's available at the venue.

[Mr Fretbuzz]

October best for me nick :-)

[Marc S]

So far most of Oct & Nov are clear - apart from the 1st weekend in Oct
so far...... lol

Really hope I can get to the next one
and hope more BC'ers manage to get along

[cocco]

I always miss these someone PM me when the next one comes around.
