Clue 2: It's made from a famous, but infrequently used wood. It's a Fender Tony Goggle Signature WTF Bass made from palletwood with a flamed balsa top. 1 1 Quote
neepheid Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Nah, all getting colder. Clue 3: It was orignally released as a guitar, was never intended to be a bass, the bass version came decades later. Edited August 30, 2023 by neepheid Quote

neepheid Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Heh, no. Imma gonna leave you to stew on that for a while, you'll have to wait for the NBD thread. OR I might not do one and you'll just have to wait to meet the mystery guest... 1 Quote

MichaelDean Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 No, I wouldn't! There's a fair mass of wood the other end. I've just heard that on a strap it can feel like a fair old stretch to the first fret. I look forward to seeing it in person! Quote

obbm Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 As well as my Sadowsky HPJ I shall also be bringing the Sterling by Musicman SB14 which I picked up from the Guitar Doctor in Penzance on Monday following its conversion to fretless. Should also have a BF One10, amp and modified Aclam pedalboard. 1 Quote

scrumpymike Posted September 5, 2023 Author Posted September 5, 2023 Unbelievably (for me and Mrs. Scrumpy at least) this year's Sunday 8th October Bash is just over a month away, so it's time to get focussed. We're keeping the price at £13 and, as last year, we need at least 25 advance attendance fees to guarantee we can cover the event financially. If you're coming, please confirm/re-confirm without delay. As soon as I know we've got a few more than 25, I'll ask you all for payment in advance . Any monies over and above 25 x £13 will go towards next year's event - most importantly, the 2024 hall booking fee, which we have to pay in advance. So you know what you'll be getting for your money, here's this year's menu. Let us know if you have any particular dietary requirements that aren't covered and we'll do our best to cater for you. OVER TO YOU!! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 23.docx 1 Quote
neepheid Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 In for a penny, in for £13 TL:DR I'm in. Quote
scrumpymike Posted September 5, 2023 Author Posted September 5, 2023 OK, so that's 2 confirmations in as many minutes. Should be done and dusted within the next half-hour 🙂 1 Quote

Rich Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 I would note however that the penguin has appeared on the menu in previous years, but each time the food on the day has been noticeably devoid of any trace of said aquatic bird. Can we finally expect penguin sandwiches to be available this year? Quote

neepheid Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 I would have thought the chance to see a peculiar, middle-aged Scotsman making a tit of himself with an Explorer bass would be worth the admission fee in and of itself... 1 2 Quote
