In fact it was the rarely seen option q) arrival of Bass Bash T-Shirt, addressed to none other F Black, whoever that is? As he appears to take the same size as me in T-shirts I have appropriated it. Cheers Stumpybike. 😉 By a curious coincidence, I found my t-shirt when loading my speaker last night. I will be wearing it to a rehearsal tomorrow.

I had sauntered into the side room out of nosiness and was handed a bass A very solid, Fender P with a few extra bells and whistles, very nice instrument. I was focused on getting a sound I liked rather than on the amp/cab I was going through. There was a line of small cabs dwarfing the even smaller 6" and I assumed it was one or other of them. Genuinely astonished when I discovered which it was. I honestly think gigging with a couple of them would be a serious proposition. Never easy to tell with no kit in an empty room but there was all the good stuff coming out of that tiny cab. It's true, you were more interested in the bass and I noticed how enthusiastically you were adjusting the bass boost, I was seriously concerned for my little sixer as the level was already quite high. It actually coped fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) On the subject of the T Shirts, I won a vintage First Edition in the Raffle. I noticed it was a 3XL but was assured it would fit me....it was mis-labeled obviously! Pretty sure in years to come this will become a collectors item so am framing it and sending it to my nearest Hard Rock Cafe!

See if they'll swap it for one of Jack Bruce's or Andy Fraser's discarded Gibbo's which I will then swap you for the latest T-shirt in your size 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yes, when Sterling becomes worthless the Bass Bash T Shirt will become the unofficial national currency. We'll see marketplace adverts for basses priced at $400 / €340 / BBTS 1.5 / £12,504,998. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsebass Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 If anyone is selling one of the Genz Benz Focus 112s then I'll happily take it off your hands! Been on the look out for another one for AGES! I agree with some of the comments, they are one of the best (12") cabs I've ever had, and having GASSED away one of them a few years ago, I'm starting to regret it.... Cash to buy and Ashdown Combo to trade waiting so PLEASE PLEASE let me know! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
