Frank Blank Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I've just noticed there are now thirteen possible attendees, obviously that would be very bad luck so can I have a volunteer to not attend thus ensuring the harmony of the proceedings. A form of bass seppuku if you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could well show my face...I am not sure if I'll be able to drag myself away from The Burnt Pig though. 😉 Seriously though ... talking about bass and bass gear is just not my thing ( as you know Frank) so I haven't committed to attending so far, but there is a good chance that I turn up on the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have put it in the shared diary but the boss hasn’t noticed it’s there yet (and house buying project and two weans means it may not happen) - anyone coming down from Leeds or around? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's still there, I'll ask if they can bring it or let me bring it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 This is getting better and better. All I need is for someone to roll in with a Smith bass and I will be happier than a small child on orange smarties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Well, I could also bring a Zon Hyperbass too, but no one (including me) is likely to be able to play it. But it might still be interesting to you guys. no promises yet though. Edited April 12, 2023 by GremlinAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I've had a bit of a runny nose and been sneezing for a few days so thought I best do a test, very faint positive line but it's there, so I have, at last, joined the Branch Covidians for the first time. Very, very mild cold symptoms, I'm assuming it's the Omicron sub variant Arcturus. Anyway, hopefully I'll be clear by next week 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
