Hi mate I’m afraid I can take no credit for organising this bash so best for Colin to come back to you on that one. It looks like another great event. Unfortunately I was way up in Aberdeen at the time!

No worries, Chris. I'll check back with Colin. Yes indeed, another good bash judging by the pics

@BillyBass's Charvel's were gas inducing, and @eude and I managed to compare the ACG Mule and Rob Allen Mouse. There's very little if anything between them. The feel, weight, sound, are practically the same, but a new Mule costs the same as a pre-owned Mouse.

Gutted I missed this due to a family gathering. Looked so good.

 

@Kingbassist I'm in Leatherhead and have a BF BigTwin Gen3 that you are welcome to try out. I probably down to Andertons this weekend at some point so don't mind chucking in the back of the car.

Well if there is an upside to me pulling out because of my knee, me and the wife (plus mother in law) are all positive for COVID, so I'd probably have infected a few of you...

Well, I'll take that as an upside to my not being able to make it either. 😉

Wishing you all a speedy recovery. 👍🤞

Yes, and good thing I wasn’t there as it turns out that I don’t have an infectious case of tonsillitis… rather I’ve got an even more infectious case of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease so currently my extremities are all covered with painful blisters. Definitely not something that my fellow bassists with gigs coming up would want! Yuck. Fully expect a Defra van to pull up outside the house any moment and blokes in hazmat suits to drag me off to be incinerated…

Yikes!

I felt like a kid in a toy shop a week before Christmas on Sunday.  Thanks very much to @cetera for letting me play with his Spectors and also to @Merton whose TE1200 and Barefaced 210 is a match made in heaven @Steve Browning with his Mesa TT800s @Happy Jack with his Reverend Watt Plower @Mudpupwith his surprisingly good Cort. and @MacDaddy @orangefridayand @eude for their weird and wonderful stuff.

 

And thanks to @Hamster, Mrs@Hamster and @Kingbassist for making it all happen

Gutted couldn’t make it this year due to illness. Been over doing the gigging! 

[jonunders]

Sorry I couldn't join you. My son finished work at 03.30 Sunday morning and I'm taxi service. 

Didn't want to risk driving the 3 hour each way trip from Norfolk. I'm not as young as I used to be!

 I might've made a couple of Rickenbacker converts, so not a bad result...

 

You convinced me that they are very playable, and fun too!

Morning Folks, 

 

So, what are the scores, George Dawes?

 

Taken on the door - 28 x £10 = £280

Refreshments profit - £22

Anonymous donations - £90

 

Total - £392

 

From that, £302 has been donated to CHUMS Charity (www.chumscharity.org), with the funds going towards their Recreational Therapeutic Service, which uses music to help children & young people suffering with extreme anxiety, and other mental health issues. 

 

And £90 has been donated to the school as our way of saying 'thank you' for the use of such a fabulous venue. 

 

Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed to making it such a great day! 🙏😊

 

See you next year!

And then however many weeks later… on Thursday, 3/4 of my thumbnail dropped off. On the bright side it looks like it’s growing a new one underneath… seems like a three or so other nails are on the way… 🙄

Whoa! Hope it's not too long before things are back to normal. And if I may just add... Good luck with the nail!
