Ooh, I dunno. I reckon JM's browser history wouldn't bear close examination. And I bet Edwina and him got mucky in all sorts of different ways. There were probably eggs involved.....

Hers...

Please bring the Rick, I haven't played one for around 40 years.

Then It will feel quite good for 19.4 seconds before you suddenly recall what you don’t like about them

I think I'm already on the list, but Alan (Cytania) has now confirmed. We're in! Raffle prize sorted.

 

He’s the raffle prize ? 🥺

I just dug out the cases for the basses - I'm actually excited pretty excited about this. 
Will see what fits into the car (coming down that way with the wife and child as it's pretty close to the inlaws) 
For @owen I'll try and fit 4 basses and an amp in there!  

The odd bitsa I've got is worth bringing as I reread the first post and realised Jon Shuker will be there and he sold me the ash for the body. Not that I play it much mind  I probably would have sold it if it had any value!

Yep @Skinnyman, bring the Rick.

We might need a bottle opener 🔧 (couldn't find a bottle opener piccy, so I found another Rick-shaped one )

Or a pickaxe ⛏

I am just looking forward to shaking Jon Shukers hand and thanking him for making one and a half of my favourite basses.

Are we going to have  Basschat lanyards with our BC names and our real names on them?  It's  a good Bass Bash practice to break the ice. Mine reads " Oh, No. Not that Twunt again."

I am not sure about lanyards, at my first Bash a couple of folk had them and I wished I had one, last time at the SWBB I was glad I didn’t, mind you, those stickers with your name in marker pen, a) they give me the Jüdderman for some reason and b) I seem to be someone to whom nothing will adhere. I am rethinking the lanyard.

You can stand between me and the rest of the room when I crank up the B2A then...

Those stickers usually work on foreheads... 

I have no bass-related raffle prizes to bring, and have run out of time to bake the intended cake. Will have to be something shop bought 😞

For reasons that will become clear, I would like to fix an actual time for my 1/2 hr (including questions) spiel on weight reduction for those who want to listen to the drivel. 

Anyone object to me nabbing a 2.30pm slot?

Yes.

I want it to be 2:37, just to annoy anyone with a phobia of prime numbers.

After an awful 4.5 hr drive I’m now ensconced in a hotel half an hour away from the Bash and awaiting Pointless on the TV. If they are Basschat lanyards then woo hoo!

Found out last night that the host of the party that we're playing at on Saturday night, wants us to set up at lunchtime, and for that reason, I'm out. Gutted 

Shame you can't make it but thanks for posting this - I'd written 'Bass Bash Sunday' in my calendar a long time ago...…...
