basstone Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm hoping to come along again this year as I've thoroughly enjoyed previous editions. I will probably bring along some or all of these: 1978 Fretless Fender Jazz 1969 Fender Telecaster Ibanez SRF700 1964 Epiphone Rivoli (If I still have it, currently for sale on this forum) BC112 cab Home brew 1x10" cab with G&K MB500 amp Remind me, are there any plans for a shootout this time?

I'm in your hands but it might be interesting, We've done speakers for the last two bashes, though I suspect the amps will be less varied, we might be surprised though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The head is removable in my combo amp, so it can be hooked up to any cabs if necessary (or just listen to the angry little box by itself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I know it's 47 days to go, but tonight I dragged out my holdall of ironmongery (stands) which hasn't been touched since I moved house 5 ish years ago. Pleased to report that I have enough stands for the number of basses I'm taking. Happy days Spooky coincidental fact - there's a 'Spoons song called "47 Days", but it's not about anticipating a bass bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Let's play a game. I've just ordered a bass and as long as the courier doesn't turn it into toothpicks, I will take it to the bash. I will give clues. I will try to make them progressively easier as we go. Clue 1: It's second hand, and not currently available new AFAIK.

MichaelDean Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 That's a pretty open first clue! There are a lot of basses that aren't available new... Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro in white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro in white? A good guess but not right! I should clarify my first clue to say that it's not currently available in any finish. Clue 2: It's made from a famous, but infrequently used wood. Edited August 30, 2023 by neepheid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
