I can't believe it's been 7 years since I was able to attend my last SE bash which had Herbie Flowers being supported by Dave Swift and John Bentley playing a lovely rendition of Take a walk on the wild side. Herbie briefly loaned me an Ovation Magnum and Fender Bassman combo back in the early 70s which allowed me to migrate from a 3/4 upright to electric bass igniting my life long passion for bass.

Simon C Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Yes a great day. Thanks to everyone involved in arranging it and making it a fun day. I thought I’d share this, not because it’s me playing Betsy, but because of what she did to my bass face: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Czk-VZiBxAQ/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I’ve been trying to smile for years whilst playing bass. Job done. Edited November 17, 2023 by Simon C 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Having done all the sums we are left with an overall profit of £690. This has been donated to Cancer Research for breast cancer, and Cancer Research for prostate cancer. I have also donated a smaller amout to the school for hosting us. The couple of raffle prizes that were not claimed have been donated to the school's music department, which they are very grateful for. Huge thanks to Guy Pratt, Laurence Cottle and Barry Moorhouse for their support!! Thanks also to my girlfriends Gary (@Cetera) and Darren (@Bassforradio) for their early arrival and help with setting up, with Darren also doubling up in his professional role as ace interviewer! Also special thanks to: Mick (@Thegreek) for reaching out to several businesses and getting some prizes from D'Addario Trevor (@TrevorR) for securing the services of Laurence Cottle and Barry Moorhouse from the Bass Centre. Oh yes, I'd better mention the wife, Mrs Hamster for sorting the refreshments!! Thank you all for making the day another enjoyable sucess!

A 2x10 is certainly a possibility, but there may be an even better way of skinning the cat. You can always build a 2x10 from two Monzas. The corners interlock to aid stacking - and you get the option of using one or two cabs depending on the size of venue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
