Rich Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) If there are a handful of things I've taken away from yesterday, it's these: 1. Oh god, the food. And oh GOD, that crumble. ❤ 2. What a lovely, lovely bunch of people you all are. It was like spending the day with people I've known all my life. I could almost get emotional about this. 3. Between us, we don't half have some nice gear. Oh my word yes. Playing @Buddster's lovely '76 Jazz through my own rig was a personal highlight, and possibly a big mistake... 🤤 4. A renewed deep sense of satisfaction with my own gear. Having drooled over everyone else's gear (especially @Kateplaysbass's immensely cool little green number), I was playing my Shuker and realised that I was really listening to it in a way that I don't normally, almost never have in fact, and I've fallen in love with it all over again. I'm a lucky so-&-so. I think we all are, actually. Thank you all again for a wonderful day. I only wish Norm and yorks could have been there with us.

scrumpymike Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Well folks, "another one bites the dust"! Just got everything put away and the house and garage back in order 😊. Thanks for all your kind messages, much appreciated. Despite the work involved, we love it too. Sorry that some of the usual suspects didn't make it this year but delighted to meet the S-W Bash newbies. Particularly nice to have the chance to remember and talk about Si ('Norm') and Keith ('yorks5stringer'), thereby ensuring that they were with us in spirit. Once again, special thanks to Stevie and Phil for giving us the benefit of their knowledge, this year in the shape of the amp shoot-out. Watch this space for image from the day. Mike, Mrs Scrumpy and the Scrumpettes 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hey Rich, well said!! As the organiser, I like to avoid getting a bit emotional and mushy about the S-W Bash... but trust me, I could! This really is something special and, like Rich, always leaves me counting my bass-bashing, crumble-crunching blessings - and so chuffed to see that everyone else apparently feels the same ☺️ Mrs Scrumpy is on cloud 9 and likely to remain there for some time. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, I noticed in the amp shootout, that no only was the little bam amp (which cost me £78) an excelent thing, but also the TC450, which I hardly use and is often disparaged in these walls is actually a very nice amp. That and that the bowed B string on the NS Wav DB is actually quite a noticable and pleasant thing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamT Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 To Scrumpymike, Mrs Scrumpy, The Scrumpettes, fellow Bass Bashers and anyone that I have missed out - I had an excellent day, loved the multivarious gear, loved the crack, loved the scran, and loved the raffle. Lovely. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just spotted in the pic of Rich talking to Mojoke that the former has somehow managed to slip 3 basses into his back pocket. If any of you ended up short, you know where they went 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time any 'crack' appeared at a Bash was the year you dropped your trolleys and mooned for the group shot ☺️ Sorry you missed such a craic-ing Bash yesterday btw ☹️ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I've just remembered from looking at the pics - @Kateplaysbass's ACG was quite simply sublime! Definitely a highlight for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Great pics! Eating outside? EATING OUTSIDE??? And...is that SUN I can see???? MrsAndyjr1515 is still testing Covid positive. Mind you, she must be getting better - she's started b*ll****g me again. This time it's for not catching it (yet). I'll admit, it didn't feel right, not getting shouted at this past week Anyway, looks like it was up to its normal splendid standard. Count me in for the next one - missed you folks 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I am really sorry to have missed this one, but other Sunday morning commitments had to take precedence. Looks like a lot of fun, and there were a few basses I would love to have tried, as well as lots of people I wanted to meet. Here's what I would have brung.

I already got her 24 carrots for the coleslaw. If she reads this, I'm dead meat! 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
