I going to try and pop along. Be good to see everyone and collect my raffle prize! My bring some Status’s! 

I’d better remember to bring it then 🤣 Found it in the garage recently and moved it to my gear stack in readiness - though that’s still no guarantee that I won’t leave in a rush after a late night at Trading Boundaries the night before and forget it 🤦‍♂️

[pete.young]

I think I should be OK for this one, touch wood. But what to bring?

 

I see that no-one so far has mentioned double bass - I can bring one if people would like to give one a try?  @Happy Jackwere you thinking of bringing metal mickey?

 

Other than that, usual suspects: Duesenberg, BBNE2, Bass Collections, what is interesting to people?

Happy to be told I'm wrong but, based on previous experience, one DB is enough at a BassBash. It's a bit like taking a functions band to a punk gig. 😉

[prowla]

Taking a double-bass might get a slap!

Oi!

[SamIAm]

OMG

 

This looks fantastic (Thanks @Silvia Bluejayfor sharing details of previous events) ... and the stars have aligned ... I'm not scheduled to work that day and it's only an hours drive!

 

It would be downright rude of me not to attend (And I am not rude)

 

In my diary!

, 

Bringing ... Me, weird sense of humour, Stompz, Kala UBASS, As much of the Phoenix Rig as I can including Quinn (Harley Benton 5 String fretless long scale) ... depending on how I progress with Phoenix I may bring her.

Sadly I can't make this one, I could only be at one of the two in October, and the SW one was easier to arrange cover for.

 

They're all an absolute blast though!

I will now finaly admit it took me months to realise that this

in the title wasn't the result of a hamster dancing on the keyboard.

Sadly I’m out of range now, and an octaver won’t bring me closer. I’ll miss this friendly well organised event.  Hope some DBs turn up, though.

[bass_dinger]

Planning to come along.

 

Two Washburn 500s and a step-fronted SWR Workingman 12 with a three digit serial number. 

 

And maybe the Boulder Creek 5 string in my avatar.

I’ve received clearance from Mrs C , so just need to avoid  a Church call up for the Sunday evening ( and even then may be able to attend some of the day). I'll bring my 3 basses and pedal board. Do I need to bring an amp , or do we plug into whatever others have brought ( mine is a keyboard amp so a flat sound and probably not too interesting for you)? I'm a newbie, so am  looking forward to meeting you all.

Doesn’t hurt to bring an amp, but not essential. There’ll be an amp nearby, but if you set up an amp and basses in the big hall then there’s something to try stuff through

Always wanted to take a look at one of these.

 

Looks like I am committed now! 

 

You will see, when I arrive with my kit, that my purchasing strategy involves deciding what I want, setting up an eBay saved search, and waiting a year....

 

I see that @Mudpupis attending.  I have corresponded with him, but I have not met him.

 

 

Additional information - the Boulder Creek has a set of Thomastik Infeld acoustic strings, https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/string-sets-c865/bass-guitar-c34/thomastik-infeld-ab345-phosphor-bronze-5-string-acoustic-bass-strings-41-118-p992?currency=GBP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkOqZBhDNARIsAACsbfJoFdSy1QIkKSPJgY0DsGk3e4TWXIh_T41heSJx7LxbzRbnhs_AyGIaAngaEALw_wcB#fo_c=1949&fo_k=06f449550608bf0dc240d6de5bb135f9&fo_s=gplauk&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=
