Oomo Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Can't remember if I asked already, but any other lefties coming along to this? (I might drag a bass down if so, otherwise I'll travel lighter with just some pedals...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I know the official hours of this, but do people stick around to the bitter end? If I turned up late, say at 1400, would there still be people around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Yep, plenty of people stay till at least 3.30 or 4... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) I'm going to try to get over to this. It looks like it's going to be busy. I'll bring some LFSys cabs, including a brand new model, together with a Veyron amp and Squier CV Precision. I'm looking forward to meeting all the familiar names I've read over the years but never met. Edited October 26, 2023 by stevie 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, Guy Pratt's! I can add it to Paul McCartney's Hofner.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'll make sure to not wear a spiky belt buckle, I don't want to give anyone's bass a rash! If there's anyone there who doesn't have to drive away, I'd also be interested in maybe hitting a pub in Addlestone for grub and a pint. Or no pint, whatever. 🍻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMX Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’ve never been to a bass bash but would love to attend, if I can. We’ve got a handful of a lovely 10 month old so I wouldn’t be there for the whole day. Do other folk stick around for just a couple of hours? If I came I’d be bringing my rather unexotic duo of MIM P bass and Silverburst Sterling Ray 34. I don’t have an amp, only a Nux preamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you're ready to leave you'll have at least three on your list of "must haves" and GAS for loads of basses. It's cheaper in the long run not to come but great fun if you do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason not to pop in for a bit - esp, if you can catch a guest talk or two. You’ll enjoy it no matter how long or short you stay for. If you’re coming up from Brighton, maybe you could cadge a lift with Mr Pratt!! 😉🤣 Edited October 27, 2023 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I am suddenly interested in fretless basses, and how easy they are to play. I want to: Experience lined v unlined; understand the difference in fretboard materials; contemplate mwah v no mwah. Is anyone bringing a fretless bass to the Bass Bash, that they can demonstrate to me? Thanks in advance.
