The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021

[stewblack]

If I'm there let Mike know. I tried to pick the balding, bespectacled gentleman of a certain age and comfortable figure, which looks most like me but there was just too much choice

Should have gone for 35, clearly the silhouette of a gentleman of quality and distinction, ahem.

[wrinkleygit]

Brilliant, I am 29 aka Mike Barkworth, not as slim as I thought I was !!

[Rich]

36, Rich West

How come my silhouette makes me look like a huge massive fat bastid?

Correction, a huger massiver fatter bastid?  

 

[Frank Blank]

35. The Duke of Ted.

[scrumpymike]

OK, so we're over half way with 22 out of 39 so far - keep 'em coming!

[Jimrs2k2]

Number 22 the shortest man in the room,  jim Howard (Jimrs2k).

[basstone]

25  Tony Scragg 🙂

Ahh, but you always punched above your weight, Jim!

[Pinball]

I have permission to come along. It was required as it also my wedding anniversery.

I have been swapping and bases around lots since the last bash.

Will bring

Amplification: GB amp and 2x12

Short Scales: Reverend Dub King, Supro Huntington. I also have a USA Fallout but will probably leave that at home unless someone particularly wants me to bring it.

Long Scales: Peerless Jack Casady, Fender Boxer Jazz Special

and maybe a couple of surpises

Note: I could do with selling a few. Now worried which as they are all fab in my humble opinion

Is there space for me to bring these?

Yep I have a Stingray Special 5 and a SR705 fretless. I haven't played them in a long while but am hanging on to them in hope.

BASH NEWS - OFFICIAL T-SHIRT!!

 

OK guys, we've bitten the bullet and commissioned another Bass Bash T-shirt - incorporating the Basschat logo (thanks Ped!).  This time it's a more colourful design (that's not specific to this year's event) on a combat-green, 100%-cotton, good quality shirt.  To keep the price down to £15, we've had to order 70 shirts.  This means that me and Mrs. Scrumpy will have to fork out a big chunk of money for these in the next couple of weeks so could those who definitely want one please PLEASE get behind this by PM-ing me your order and paying in advance.  There will be enough shirts for anyone who's not sure to purchase on the day.  We've ordered in M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL so just order what you normally wear and we'll measure/confirm the actual sizes when received.  Thanks in advance!
