SimBass Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Thanks for a great day all, my first Bass Bash and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and the playing on so many wonderful instruments. 2 1 Quote

I like the way the shape of the pickup has been mirrored in the thumb rest/fretboard thing. It's a lovely bass. The pickup has a nice thumbcrater, and I love the way the fretboard continues into a thumbrest. Makes it a very playable and beautiful bass! 2 Quote

Owen Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Thanks to @Andyjr1515 for explaining setups in a way which made sense to me. I have watched myriad videos but never grasped it. This says more about me than about the videos. 1 1 Quote
Richard R Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Who had the Warwick Thumb that we compared in size to my Westfield? I was surprised, as I thought Thumbs were larger. Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Pretty sure that will have been @Marillionred's beautiful 5 string Thumb. We compared my 4 string SWAPAAWTBWADS (same woods and proportions as a warwick thumb but, wisely, a different shape) side by side with it too 2 Quote

The reason for asking is that the Westfield is for sale, and I've stated it is smaller than a thumb. But compared to yours it is almost exactly the same size, so I need to correct the advertisement.

cytania Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Thanks to everyone who made the event happen, great venue, excellent cross section of basses that no shop could ever assemble. It was a privilege to try so many fine instruments and many of my bass prejudices are now in shreds. Eyes opened to the D-Roc shape and the Mustang Bass and amazingly the Teisco, oh and an upright bass and… 😃 5 2 Quote
petecarlton Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Some more pix of the event, focusing on people rather than gear. (But I can do even more of those as well, if there's a demand!) 7 Quote
Richard R Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Great photos, Pete. Some of the gear would be good as well. I know we've not had the invoice for the hall, but do you have an idea of the the profit on the day to go to Nordorf Robbins? Edited April 23, 2023 by Richard R Typo Quote
