Impromptu Tyneside bass bash - PICS!

[wateroftyne]

Loads of fun today... a few of us (including @warwickhunt, @cd_david and the God-like Dave Wilson) got together to shoot the breeze. We all turned up with a handful of basses each, apart from Warwickhunt who literally brought a van-load.

 

All good fun - some rare birds, and some whacky stuff amongst the usual...

I need to do it all again so that I can try the ones I didn't play, through the cabs/amps/cobos that I didn't try them with!    

 

Thoroughly enjoyable day, thanks for the invite!

Nice. Spotted the cuppa on the head, perfection!

Lovely stuff and nice pics too. Reckon we could do a Northern Bash there? I’d be up for that!

Ok: my eyes need testing (again!)

Perhaps it’s a new amp with horizontal valves

Some great basses there, plus a great looking Peavey rig too!

Wow!! 
 

Can only imagine how good that must sound (and how much it must weigh).

Have you a good imagination?

As Andy Pitkin says, “I want that one. No, that one.”

We had rounds, flats and grounds.  However, Dave Wilson took the Jaffa Cake for oldest strings... 15 year old ROUND WOUNDS and they were as fresh as the day they went on!

I suspect he’s SO legendary his sweat actually cleans strings.

I think Dave was going to bring out his own brand 'Banger's Blingers' so he wasn't letting on.  They were on the Ash MiJ Jazz.

I heard that he gets miced up - just so the drummer can use his heartbeat as a click track
