Absolute blast of a weekend! Great 42 gig on sat night then met some amazing people and basses on sunday. Great to see Darren, Hayley, Rob and Dawn at the gig, and thanks to Moo, Todd, Rich, Fran, Danny, Darren, Hayley, Andre and Patrick (and the guy in the red shirt who had the rosewood standard that looked so much like my artist, reckon it could have been from the same wood!? - so sorry forgot your name!!!) such a wicked day. Todd the pics of my basses are so amazing, that Rosewood bass of mine has waited 8 or so years for pics like that, and it has also waited the same time for somebody like Patrick to play it properly! Darren im gonna try n perfect that crazy slap thing you were doing; f***ing insane! Seriously all of you were wonderful people to meet and talk to about music n basses, cant think of a better sunday for a long long time, cheers everyone and also thanks for listening to 'The Funk Punk' :)

It was a fun day, next time someone needs to bring a small amp!
My gratitude to you all too.

Danny

nice to meet some new member and play some fantastic Status Basses,

i dont know who that geezer was either, looks a bit shifty!!! :D

Was at the Ipswich gig tonight, the band played perfectly as usual, Pete is such an impressive drummer, wow....

Very special thanks to Rob and Dawn, really really great people <bows> ()()()

Knew you'd be impressed with Pete's drumming :D He's got some tasty chops happening!! Glad you had a great time! :D

Mark suddenly regretted accepting the gig in the Mumbai Commonwealth Games arena!!

Seconded - was there too - front row circle seats too seemed to be the best view in the house with a very tall stage....! :)

and we're back !
Moo thanks again (as always) you're a great host !
Great to catch up with everyone else too (not sure about the spicy pizza though ...!)
:D

back home again too! thanks to everyone for that cool weekend.
should become a traditon ;) in future....
my pizza was fine :D

todd, letz the pix cumming :D we want more "porn" here

London and the Statii Clan Rock !

Made it back to Minnesota, still jazzed about the 23rd show, and meeting up and chatting with some wonderful folks afterwards, is Dawn a sweetheart or what?

I feel like I left with a small whole in my soul, having missed Sunday's Statii-O-Thon, with all the basses I may never see, and brains to pick.
But having stuck with my wife Molly for the day, I was fortunate enough to have kept an eye on her. As we were enjoying a pint at a quaint little pub, a half dozen British Army Special Forces fellows stopped in with some free time to indulge. They were a stitch, but smooth and flirtatious with the woman in the place.

I can't wait to see more of Todd's stellar photos, and look forward to another get together some day.

Thanks All,

Molly and Volney (Me4Bass)

here soem pics todd took of my KB4

and the MooWood

Popped by to visit Sir Rob Green yesterday, was good of him to take away from his busy schedule for some chat. Then was off to see the "travellingbassman", couple of pints, lots of bass and a healthy laugh.
So lucky to know such fantastiv people, all because if this forum.....

Todds pics showing that i have a great face for radio lol

The Conklin GT7BD is currently tuned down a whole step A-D-G-C-F-Bb-Eb. When its fired up it sounds like Odin with heartburn.:D

And of course G7b9.....or is it Ab-6 ?, you decide lol

Many thanks to Todd for all the great shots that are brightening up the forum right now (apart from those with my mug in em) .
And thanks to Matt for his hospitality and bringing it all together, due to time etc i didnt get chance to chat with everyone but i look forward to the next time and it was a pleasure to meet people from the forum with lots to talk about.cheers all :)

Apologies for the low quality but here is a nice clip of the Chinese Way and Finale at Ipswich on Monday Oct 25th - Enjoy!

Nice one Andre ()

I have apparently had my address book hijacked, I am suspecting either Moo is trying to make me hate PC's as well as Mac or I picked it up using a public WiFi in my travels :@ First time its happened, apologies to anyone affected.

A few more pictures I found interesting.......

That explains the email I just got from you with a Viagra special offer :D

If my stock wasn't already full I would have bought a few ;)

all the MooWood look so sweet together :D

Looking forward to seeing those FULL SIZE when you get back mate!

this could very much be dawn's and rob's x-mas-card for status this year.... ;)

.... or at least the statii one () todd, well done mate.
