The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2022 - Sunday 9th October

[BreadBin]

I'll probably just bring a TCE combo and whatever pedal board setup I have at the time. A couple of 5-strings, fretted and fretless, and my 4-string Allen Eden Jazz. I may drag along something else interesting too, will see what feels right!

I'll be bringing my 'same woods and proportions as a Thumb but, wisely, a different shape' fretless (more conveniently known as the SWAPAATBWADS Fretless) and 'Kert's' Single Cut Camphor bass - which may have different electrics or different pickups to last time or maybe the same...who knows!  I certainly don't

 

An update:

I'll be bringing my 'same woods and proportions as a Thumb but, wisely, a different shape' fretless (more conveniently known as the SWAPAATBWADS Fretless) and 'Kert's' Single Cut Camphor bass - which may have different electrics or different pickups to last time or maybe the same...who knows!  I certainly don't  will have a Seymour Duncan 2-band EQ with Dimarzio PJ pups and - note the unique chance to buy a 'No Treble' Bass of the Week winner - will be For Sale for a mere king's ransom (other royal ransoms considered too)   !

Consider a Pauper's Pittance 'guvnor?

Cost a' livin's gorn up an' all that.

[Richard R]

No idea what I'll bring. Most folks have seen the Brawleys, and while they are decent mid-range basses and rare in the UK, they aren't especially valuable or exciting.  

[Pinball]

I'd like to come along. Depends on commitments so I'll confirm nearer the time.

Note: I can bring some interesting kit. Manton, Supro (again), Jack Cassidy, and Precision Deluxe, Triad and Surveyor if I still have them. I can't bring em all though so let me know if you fancy playing anything specific. Also some pedals.

I really enjoyed the past ones I managed to make.

Ive always wanted to try a Jack Cassidy 😀

[Charliebass212]

Hi Mike

Me too.

Just a word of friendly advice for any new SWBB attendees. Last time I was in attendance I drove down the day before and foolishly ate a large curry the evening before the bash. I had no idea that lunch at the SWBB was a BIG thing, like turn off the amps for an hour serious . I'm not one to use capitals but in this case it is highly appropriate. The food at the Bash is a rare combination, it is delicious and there's tons of it! Due to the previous evening's curry I was rendered unable to eat the amount I wanted to, mind you I think I still managed to finish off an entire tray of roast potatoes, somehow. Mountains of excellent food, great company, a shed load of bass gear, tea and coffee on tap...

 

In short, it's like you died and woke up in some kind of perfect heaven.

Assuming I can make it, is there any interest in battery-powered combos and/or a comparison of sub-10-inch cabs?

David

[Woodinblack]

always interested

[Frank Blank]

I am sure Mike will point this out nearer the day but if you have any long extension leads and/or plug socket reels then bring 'em. Mine is still in the car from the 2019 Bash!

I have other plans. Involving a black balaclava, chloroform, and a fast car...

The Line 6 looks fun! 

I really need to get the rota swap sorted so I can come down.
