Skinnyman Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Sorry guys, I'm not going to make it. I don't know what the hell it was in the middle of the road that I went over but it's done two tyres. I've just been recovered back to Lincoln ATS and I'm waiting for them to bring a couple of tyres up from Newark. It's been a fun morning so far - I hope you all have a better one! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just stopped for some food on the way home. Thanks to the excellent @jebroad and his equally excellent Mum for another splendid Bass Bash, some great people, some great basses. Good, as always, to put faces to names. Looking forward to the next one. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Can I just say, as a Bass Bash "virgin", what a great time I had this afternoon. What a friendly bunch you Basschatter(er)s are! Thanks so much to Jamie and his mum for all the work they put in, to everyone who brought such wonderful and exotic gear, to Andy for the really interesting talk on lighter bass-building and to you all for being so welcoming to a complete newbie. Next year I promise to actually try my hand on some of the exotica, without shaming myself or embarrassing everyone else! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 A very enjoyable afternoon. Well done to @jebroad for putting on a great bass bash. I now have massive gas for around 20 different basses. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba_the_gut Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just got home from a lovely afternoon. Thanks again to @jebroad for organising this and to whoever donated the Ashdown compressor to the raffle- I’ll have a good try of that later. As usual it was nice to catch up with the folk I already knew and to be meet new Basschatters. As I always say, these are great events that someone has spent organising so if you are thinking of going to one, please do! There is such a variety of gear to see and try, great people and always there’s cake... Cheers Jez 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) As another newbie at these things can I add to @petecarlton's comments. A very friendly afternoon in excellent welcoming company. Was able to play basses costing 20x what mine does (blues scales only so not doing them justice), and heard what mine sounds like with a decent amp, cab and player @DHC Bass. Annoyed I didn't get to play with some of the little amps, but I can safely say that this sounded exactly as bright/brittle as I expected!! @MoJoKe - sorry for making you grimace ☺️ (see comment below as to why, it's not the stack! ) Edited May 4, 2019 by Richard R Clarification 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 p.s. For the avoidance of confusion or accidently upsetiing anyone:Markbass amps and cabs are fabulous too! That bass isn't mine, it's a silent bass on loan to me. Designed to have headphones plugged in directly it is very, very, very, bright. I should have put my proper bass though the Markbass stack as well.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
