If anybody is interested I've a couple of empty 1x12 cabs far from new and well used but free to anyone interested. If you are a lazy DIY'er They would suit a wide variety of 12" drivers. Let me know and you can take them away from the bash saving a lot of hassle with postage.

This is the first draft Bass Weights spreadsheet.  The first sheet is for input, the other tabs have a couple of example graphs. 

I've not included too many data fields but enough to provide some stats.

 

Not quite sure how the best way to do this is, but Mike's suggestion is that we set it up in the small room and periodically have weigh-ins.  Hopefully there will be something interesting in the data -  I was tempted to include "weight of owner" as a column to see if there is a correlation.

Weigh-ins?  Are we testing for Clomifene too?

From Wikipedia:

"Clomifene, also known as clomiphene, is a medication used to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate, including those with polycystic ovary syndrome. Use results in a greater chance of twins.It is taken by mouth once a day, with a course of treatment that usually lasts for 5 days."

 

 Unless it also enhances rhythm and groove in middle-aged bassists I don't think it's something we're likely to encounter on Sunday 😉

 

I'll stick to asking folks to weigh their basses and starting a BC-wide database.

Having read this thread, despite the awful puns and the distance I’m decided it sounds too good to miss and so I’m going to come along, so many folks I’m looking forward to meeting and learning from.

 

So … shower and then loading up Ruby (my red mini) … hopefully arrive before noon (when does it run till?).

I blame my irregular nursing shifts for my body clock being all over the place! (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)

So I’ve an extra day to plan and pack and can arrive a bit earlier.

 

when does it run from/to?

I have managed to miss this entire fight story, and therefore the drug reference. 😅

So clomifene might have a use among middle-aged bassists after all.

Final appeal, don't forget to bring any socket reels or plug extensions you have. Don't say I didn't warn you...
