Indeed! I only use my bass to keep the dragons off my beetroot!

Living in the Border Marches one has to be prepared for invasion at any time...

 I had many more folk come from other countries than France (UK, of course, but also Blegium, USA, Helvetica...),

 

I've visited Blegium.  Bluddy ghost town - just full of tumbleweed

T'was my friend Marc who dubbed his native land thus. For my part, I've only really driven through, except the one time we went as a family (prospecting a move, for professional reasons...), and went for a 'meal' at a Quick outlet. That place was beyond tumbleweed; it was shockingly filthy. We left, and ate only once back in France.

Shropshire it seems is a barren hinterland bereft of bassists...

I'm a Shropshire lad living in the historic market town called Bridgnorth. 🙂

Looks like there are 5 members pretty close to me, one of whom appears to be literally around the corner from where I lived a few years ago.

 

So now I know where they are, I can pop round and rob them. Which may, in the broader scheme of things, prove to be something of a flaw in the concept.

Anyone who tries this with my tagged location will only find a great pint of beer or a delicious curry! (or an excellent Italian meal if they wander down the road a bit.

Think I added myself a few hours ago, just waiting to be approved  A few people nearish to me it seems 

[javi_bassist]

I love this kind of maps and charts. I've added myself! :). Very interesting info.

[neepheid]

Distinct lack of teuchters - there must be more than three highlander bass players out there!

Very lonely down here in Cornwall.

Might be quite a few bass players... just not with internet access...

There are loads of bass players there, but by now they have probably gone home!

Maybe.  Communication is mostly by beacons or horseback.

The drummer in my previous band has a farm in Little Hereford, Ludlow, and we used to rehearse in a large marquee that was set up outside his house.

That would be one Malcolm 'Harry' Wragg no doubt

 

Went to school with Malcolm and we were in our first band together at school....small world eh

I've just done it 170 times - once for each address on my road.
BC robbers will have to break into many a house before finally finding my dwellings with the inconspicuous orange Aygo outside.
Oh, and I've had to sell all my gear, so am already laughing when thinking of their faces.
Sfun being poor! 😊

It most definitely was Malcolm 'Harry' Wragg!

 

We were called Stupidity, and although we didn't market ourselves as a tribute act, we only played Dr Feelgood material.

 

I've attached a pic of us in rehearsal (not in the marquee), where you can see Mal on the drums.

[skankdelvar]

Done.

[Skinnyman]

What a great idea.

 

I wonder if this might help when we’re trying the cross-country bass relay to ship gear from one end of the country to the other?

 

Anyway, I am added. 
 

Subject to approval, of course.

 

Which, if I’m honest with myself, I’d understand if it was withheld.

Yes, I remember his posts on Facebook. You played a gig in Stamford, which is nearish to Nottingham so I was intent on going until my band got offered a gig on the same night.

Great guy and great drummer 

[leftybassman392]

Done. There's nobody within 10 miles of me so far.

 

Meh!
