Guys, I’m sold. Gear, food, foot tattoos, raffle and chance to meet someone else who plays bass - what’s not to like!

Just one thing, am I likely to return home and inform the wife “I really need to buy............” 

Don't forget - you can always use the bash to sell something instead (OK, as well!!)

OK boys and girls, we've all been thru the festive black hole and it's time to get this show properly on the road!  To kick things off, here's a list of those who have posted their interest so far (some of whom have already paid):

0175westwood29 - Full rig and a few basses;

Andyjr1515 - Kert's Camphor Single Cut, Pete's EB3 Tribute' Pete's Piccolo bass,  my 6-string electric version of the piccolo (which will be finished by then)

BreadBin - Fender MIJ Jazz Bass Special (which isn't really a Jazz!); Allen Eden Jazz (which is); a Hutchins Thunderbolt Tele; Hohner B bass IV; a Cort Curbow; a Freya P51 rep; my BC Rich Zombie (so anyone that wants to can experience the horror!); Hartke HA3500 amp; Behringer cabs; and some effects if it helps?

yorks5stringer - 72 Fender Telecaster Bass; 51 notafender Precision Bass; notafender 75 Jazz Bass (if not sold); Minimark 802; floral Fender Tele-style "understated one trick pony". Could also bring a Squier Jaguar 5 if anyone is interested too.

As last time, I'll edit the list on a regular basis to show additional names and what gear everyone is planning to bring, with items for sale in bold/underlined (see Scrumpymike example above).

So, over to you to start posting what you're bringing.  Don't worry if you're not sure - it's all a moveable feast up to the last minute so just give me your best guess now and update it later!

 

Three months and counting :D

Mike

PS For the newbies on the list, here's a flavour from last year:

Don't think I got anything terribly exciting this year that I didn't have before. I sold the ibby 805 and will probably sell the SRC6.  So I assume I will bring the Maruszczyk elwood, my sr1605, and maybe the iceman for a laugh! 

 

Oh I will bring the little ashdown amp if I still have that.

I'm going to bring the short scale and fretless semi hollow basses I've built since the last bash. I'll at the medium scale and bodied bass I'm building as that will be done by them. Will probably bring my 5 String spalted beech bass and whatever else I have at home! Might bring my TC RS112 cabs but might just bring my PJB Cub. 

Looking forward to this bash!

I hope to partake in Mr's Scrumpys culinary delights but can't say for definate yet.

I can bring a bass or two from....Ibby BTB1805, ATK 805, BC SB335 or G&L SB2. I'm not looking to sell or buy so let me know if anyone has preferences.

I'll bring my 72 Fender Telecaster Bass and my 51  notafender Precision Bass. Also a notafender 75 Jazz Bass if not sold before then. I think the Minimark 802 will suffice on the Amplification front. Could also bring a Squier Jaguar 5 if anyone is interested too.

Intrigued as this is not too far from me - what can a novice bass basher expect (no secrect handshakes I hope)?

Paddy I was a novice last year and was warmly welcomed. Don't tell Scrumpymike e but it's worth more that £10.
