What are those ultra-short scale 6-string basses with the thin strings?

I'm not sure, but they sound terrible when I play them!

I have one of those. It slices hard boiled eggs nicely.

I think I'm going to miss this years' bash as well.  Technically I'm available, but it' my birthday on the Friday, then I'm  playing in That London on Saturday and may not be in a suitable condition to travel on Sunday.

Looks like a few BC112 speakers will be there as I will be bringing mine plus my Bugera Mosfet amp and either my Fender Aerodyne and/or my Greg Bennett semi acoustic bass ( might sell if the offers are right). I may even bring my homebrew 500 watt amp designed in conjunction with passinwind if finished.

[Cuzzie]

Morning chaps, looking at logistics and getting the ok from Mrs Cuzzie, but me and @foxyFuze may well be in on this.

If I come my amp will be a Tech21 dUg ultrabass and Barefaced SuperTwin Gen 3.

I do have a Tech21 VTBass500 that I am probably gonna move on, so if it’s not gone before then people can have a go.

Guitar wise, we can do a poll between what I have, some Frankenstein ones I have popped together, other manufactured ones, but I do have a Hamer 12 string I can bring.

May have the odd pedal.

Hopefully this is not a tease....

Hi Cuzzie, hope you can make it.  It's worth it just for the food - the bass stuff is a bonus! 😋

As ridiculous as this sounds, it’s actually bang on! At one point I found myself just eating a bowl of roast spuds. Basses? Who cares? *stomach groan flashbacks*

Oh God. I haven't eaten a roast spud since the last Mrs Black handed me the pink slip and left me to forage alone.

Play basses and reintroduce yourself to the roast 🥔. Can’t think of a better combo.

[Cuzzie]

To be fair, no one wants to hear my playing anyways.

Its looking good for coming, hopefully I will bring @foxyFuze again.

So what do people want bass wise when not eating spuds.

Manufactured:

Hamer 12 String, Status stealth, Sandberg MarloweDK, Horner B2ADB with EMG’s
 

Home made:

P bass with Creamery 58 P pick up, P bass with status neck and Seymour Duncan APB-1 pick up, Jazz bass with Seymour Duncan Rickenbacker pick ups routed in, tonestyler telecom jazz players and a status neck.

 

(writing this makes me realise I have probably too much stuff.....!)

Happy to oblige as best as I can

 

[BreadBin]

Definitely bring the Hamer @Cuzzie 👍
