Is that @Andyjr1515’s son?

No, silly, there are 1515 incarnations of him, that’s how he builds so many basses. They’re all crammed into one workshop under Dickensian conditions. They all share the coloured dust collection and sing sea shanties whilst working long hours for a pittance and a plate of thin gruel flavoured with varnish and superglue and finished with a powdered trussrod topping 

Andyjr15 is an early incarnation, judging by his serial number but nobody kept proper records and so it’s a guide at best - worth looking at the date stamps on his component parts to get a not-later-than idea of his place in the incarnation timeline

All these people who wouldn't have dreamt of coming to one of my bashes are all clamouring to join in now I've passed the baton on.

Which reminds me, @jebroad, I've got the box of lanyard cards i had printed for the mids bash if you want them. PM me the address of your cardboard box and I'll send them.

Happy to have a DE Bass Bash. However being stopped at customs with multiple guitars and amps and the like may be interesting. 

A friend if mine was returning to his house in France,  where he has residency,  and the Douanne were being deliberately obstructive and asking the price of everything he had on him and whether he was importing it or taking it home. They even said they were being picky "because You voted for Brexit!"  I would of course expect the Germans to be more civilised than the French,  but nevertheless...

I think Dutch Customs were taking a similar "serves you right" attitude from day 1 (or is that B Day?).  Can't blame them, tbh.

No I was completely removed - still not a northerner though - I shall insist on my Danegeld as a forfeit for this heinous crime

I think Nick might have used an earlier version of the list in fact.

At some point @jebroad might have to consolidate the various incarnations of this list and check to confirm attendance nearer the date.  A lot could happen as things develop this year.

For the Herts Bashes I had plectrums made. If you order 50/100 they work out as pennies each .

There are plenty of companies out there who will make them for you. 

This is the only one I have left.

There are 149 out there....see if somebody will part with theirs.

Afterthought: we have a dog called "Gibson" in the pack - his human is a guitarist - I wonder if he has thought of that...
