However, if @greentext is after trying an 8 or 12 string, I happen to have an 8 string explorer and a 12 string Hamer, maybe i should bring one of those?

ooooooo its gotta be the Hamer as if i was to buy one, it would be a Hamer haha 

 

Thanks for getting back to me on that, looking forward to giving it a crack haha

If the SW Bash doesn't happen, I might have to make a road trip to see you guys instead...

Looks like some real bass royalty will be in attendance… plus a few BCers! 🙃

I'm thinking of attending this as well although I've never been to one before or know how it works

The screenshot wasn't big enough to include that bringing biscuits is not actually compulsory.

 

But don't let that stop you 😉

You can never have enough cake....

What a daft question. Of course there are Tea and Coffee making facilities - what would we have with your cake?? 😊😊

Touché!

[Simon C]

I’m a “hope to be there”.  It’s on the calendar but there are a couple of health issues with a family member, that may intervene. I’ve added my gear in the list below.  It was pretty much a copy paste from last year as I’m still going strong on the 2023 gear abstinence thread 😀.  So only a looper pedal and a page turner to add (I got those for Christmas so prior to the abstinence thread).  Hopefully I’ll be able to come along and generate some GAS for the New Year sales.

I'll be bringing a friend, Mr @vz7 who, I imagine will bring an ACG.  Vince, you'll have to post here and let us know 😉

[TheGreek]

Those who are regular attendees of these events will be aware of this scenario:

 

Suggestions?

 

Raffle - rather than sell 1 ticket for £1 and everybody buying at least 5 then the inevitable calling of repeat winners - shall we just sell tickets for a £5er which will make the raffle a smoother operation?

[bnt]

Are the raffle prizes to be donated by us? I have a pedal I kind-of bought by mistake, because I forgot to remove it from the Thomann shopping basket, and I'd be happy to donate it for a good cause.

Yes, thank you!

[TheGreek]

It's been a way of moving gear we don't use to somebody who might.

 

I have a spare Zoom B1 which I'll be donating - I'll have a rummage later to see what else I can move on.
