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 Edited March 14, 2021 by Geek99 1 6 Quote

Si600 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 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. 2 1 1 Quote

Richard R Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 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... Quote

TheGreek Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 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. 1 Quote
