The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2023

This sounds cool! Will see if I'm free, but fingers crossed! I went to one very small bass doo in Birmingham about 8-10 years ago, but that's the only one I've been to. 

 

Just getting back to BC after a lengthy hiatus. 🙏

Dang it!  I haven't been to a bass bash since the demise of the Moffat bashes and was thinking of hatching a plan to come down.  Unfortunately, I checked the calendar and I've got a gig the night before.

 

./~ I drove all night ./~ - eh, no, Aberdeen > Taunton after playing a gig, would probably fall asleep at the wheel.

 

Have a good one, folks.

Could you get to the Midlands Bash in Nottingham on 22 April?

Steve @Chownybass, will you be able to join us or are you going to be running round a city somewhere? :D 

October? No runs that I know of! :) Will probably have some guitars again by then too! 

 

With that said. I'm only £44 from my London Marathon sponsorship target. I'll shamelessly plug that anywhere. And you brought it up! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/stephen-chown-london-marathon

Mrs Scrumpy and I have just lobbed a tenner in your direction, so only £34 short 🙂 Now then, about your attendance at this year's Bash... 😉

You're on the list now :D that home-brewed amp would definitely be of particular interest, I suspect.

So as well as the gorgeous custom short scale, I have a few other shorties and would be happy to bring any that people want to try (subject to still having them - a couple of these are up for sale!):

 

Maruszczyk Jake 4P

Spector Bantam

Atelier Baby Z PJ

Eastwood Airline Map

Nordstrand Acinonyx 

 

Amp-wise, it's Ashdown all the way - CTM 30 and ABM300, with 1x15 and 2x10 cabs. 

 

I'd be interested in seeing the Lakland Duck Dunn 😀

As well as a collection of the BassChat speaker designs and the shootout John @Chienmortbb and I should be running some frequency response tests on amps this year. If you want your's tested then make sure you bring it along.

I'd definitely be interested to see how my Shuttle 9.2 does.
