Attendance & Gear List:

1. @Frank Blank’s Acoustic Corner - Godin A4, Rob Allen Mouse, Ibanez SRC6, QSC K12.2, Helix Stomp, HX Edit.

2. @Rich's Garden Of Delights - Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood acoustic 4, EBS Neo 2x12 & probable new amp (tbc) - both basses strung with nickel Elixirs. Possibly some FS stuff, details tbc once it hits the paid Marketplace.

3. @wrinkleygit, Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless, ‘72 Gibson EB0, SWR Working Mans 10 combo & 1x10 ext cab & a set of h’phones. Both basses strung with Labella flats

4. @scrumpymike  Setting aside a bunch of FS stuff to give SW Bashers first shot and minimise packing and shipping work/costs.  Unless cash flow dictates earlier sale, this will include:  a couple of BF cabs (either SC Gen 3s or Two10s, to be decided); BF One10; Maruszczyk Elwood 30" scale; Spector Bantam if still unsold (already posted FS); Eden WT550 if still unsold (already posted FS); Ampeg PF800.  'Keepers' also on display will be: the other pair of BF cabs; my no. 1 gig bass 'Rascal Mervyn-Lyte; 'Rascal Lyte Mkll - provided I can decide what it's going to be in time for AndyJr to build it; my no 1 gig amp (Subway 800+); my old no 1 gig amp (Genzler Magellan 800).  All of which will hopefully bring forward the day when Mrs Scrumpy can finally join her old man in retirement 😁

Will try and attend. It's dangerously close to my daughters birthday though.

That's a tricky one!!

[yorks5stringer]

I think my only new arrival by April will be this, strung on La Bella flats, which I collected yesterday.

“Stick a black and decker drill on the end, and I can make it through walls, baby!”

 

Ps @scrumpymike - I’m eyeing up that Eden amp!

👍

[Rich]

@Pea Turgh I can definitely recommend the Eden WT amps. I had a WT400 for many years and it was wonderful. They're classics.

And if Rich can say that about the puny 400, just think of the global dominance you will enjoy with the mighty 550!! 😉

[Rich]

Oi  I'll have you know it was anything other than puny  

Have to say though, I'd love to get my hands on a WT800

Oh no!  You weren't meant to tell Pea Turgh that there's an 800 🤐

[Pea Turgh]

Just found the ad 😍.  I have a BF Two10, and don’t envisage ever swapping that out, so the 550 is a good match!

Its like the Hohner Jack all over again - if it’s still there in April I will have it!  Btw - a @KiOgon VVT  passive loom in the Hohner has really brought the pups to life 😎.

A few details ironed out on my gear list

[Frank Blank]

Can I just fix this item on the list...

3. @wrinkleygit, Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless (which will be in @Frank Blank’s corner probably whilst he has a punch up with @wrinkleygit that @Jabba_the_gut tries unsuccessfully to break up but is finally resolved when lunch is dished up which scuppers @Frank Blank’s plan to steal @wrinkleygit’s Jabba built fretless because @Frank Blank has eaten so many roast spuds he can no longer fit the bass inside his resolutely unfashionable dungarees which were specifically designed to enable the nefarious deed). ‘72 Gibson EB0, SWR Working Mans 10 combo & 1x10 ext cab & a set of h’phones. Both basses strung with Labella flats

[BreadBin]

Lol @Frank Blank while you lot are scrapping I might just use the commotion as cover to scarper with @wrinkleygit's lovely bass. I'm bringing an empty case...

...and you’ll be going home in it son.

[Woodinblack]

@scrumpymike - Have you looked into the security arrangements for @BreadBin and @Frank Blank?

[wrinkleygit]

Jabba I hope you’re bringing plenty of stock !!!!

[Rich]

A further edit is required...

2. @Rich's Garden Of Delights - Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless (which @Rich will sneak off with while @Frank Blankand @wrinkleygit are busy exchanging handbags at 10 paces whilst @Jabba_the_gut tries unsuccessfully to referee, and will steadfastly refuse to acknowledge responsibility, despite @Frank Blank's repeated threats to keep dropping his strides until the bass is returned). Some basses, an amp, something about strings.
