Seriously Mr O is a very very nice guy and far from being rude and sarcastic, quite the opposite

I know I am

I'm going to have to pass his year. 

Its Mrs Biscuits' 40th birthday and I'm supposed to be coming up with a plan to take her somewhere nice. 

Not sure the bass bash will be enough for her!

Go on! It'll be romantic & everything!

Since Teebs has kindly offered me a lift, I hope to be there. If so I'll probably bring a couple of GMRs and the Ibby 6. 

[jebroad]

Just so folk know what's being dragged along, I'll be bringing the following.

My Swift Lite bass made by our own Andyjr1515.

A Phil Jones Bass Cub combo in case we need it.

My cheapo bass uke' for a bit of light relief.

Really looking forward to seeing the swift lite in the flesh!! 

I've got almost 6 months to make something worthy to bring with me!! 😳

[Machines]

Apologies, can't make this as have my lad with me that weekend,.

[tauzero]

Unfortunately, it coincides with one of the two annual meet-ups with a bunch of fellow bikers that I go to, and I'll be 100 miles away on a motorcycle at the time. I had hoped to get to this as I've missed the last two.

Righteous excuse brother.

Excused... for this year only mind.

[NickA]

Hope to come this year. Doveridge not far away.  Potential lift from Derby if anyone transport short or coming by train.

I can bring Fretted/fretless Wal 5 strings if any interest?

I'll bring my fretless Wal 4-string ... If it means I can get a go on a fretted 5!

Amps? Double basses?

[Frank Blank]

That’s me decided, I shall be attending with a Rob Allen fretless Mouse, an Ibanez SRC6 and a QSC K12.2

Think you'll find mr sense of humour bypass , who hasn't posted in over 2 months since his meltdown,  is actually absent from the list.

[NickA]

Ouchh !  Missed that bit of the thread. 

Well I also vouch for Owen being a thoroughly good bloke and will bring my Wal regardless ... So please brush up your Mick Karn riffs 🙂

..and hopefully eboclive will relent and bring his 5-stringers too ( though, my mere 4-string is closer to Mick's 😉 )

 

[Joebethell]

Need to check the Rota for work but as long as it's clear I will make the trip up the m1/A50 

Been off the chat for a while but really enjoyed the last Midlands bash I made it to

I've been spoilt in having the bash at the other end of my village for years. Thanks to @Si600for organising it for that time!

I'll have to check if I'm free before adding my name to the list, but am dying to see Jez and Andy's latest creations
